Just had a message from one of the production team.. " Hi Michael, I've just been approved into the Z4 group, before I post anything I wanted to check if it's OK with you to post this. We're working on the returning series of Fifth Gear and as part of an episode we're looking for a Z4...

Ok, after a lot of delving into the software in my car, and I mean down to actual code levels... It appears that when Carly "codes" modules, it actually doesn't.. It rewrites the software on the module to software from another module that has the required features. Yes, it works BUT it's flagged...

I have a pair of these in rhd for sale. Never been on a car, they are complete with all paperwork including purchase receipt from 11/17 for balance of 2 year warranty. They were £350. Looking for £200.. Mike

As I've gone down the Bilstein/Eibach route on mine, I now have these sitting here. They've done 74k, but still seem fine, no leaks etc. I suspect the rears springs aren't that old. Anyway, they'll suit someone who maybe wants to go from Se to M Sport, as they are approx 30mm lower than SE...

Little bit more work to do, but looks like I may have cracked this nut.. Got it working like this.. Mirrors fold when you lock the car and unfold when the engine is started.. Watch this space.. Mike

As I no longer need this, and it's in the way, I am selling my vehicle lift. Purchased from BH Lifts approx 14 months ago, it still had the balance of their 3 year warranty. Lifts 2,700kg to just over 1200mm high in approx 15 seconds. This is single phase and works from a 13a plug. Unlike a lot...

As above, bought this to get my side skirts as seller wouldn't split. Will post pics once I get it out of my van later. It is currently in sterling grey. Anyone looking will know how rarely these come up for sale.. £350 I also have the rear spoiler, but still not decided on whether or not...

As above, I need a 10m long network cable than can withstand repeated coiling/uncoiling and preferably has heavy duty connectors fitted. It will be used to connect my laptop to an icom interface and trailed across a concrete floor as well as being regularly wound into a coil. Standard cables...

As I've just bought a CF-54, I am selling my trusty CF-31. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with it, I just needed a machine with USB3 for a specific purpose. The spec is as follows; Intel Core i5 2.4ghz processor 8GB fast, matched RAM A 3 week old 240GB Kingston SV300 SSD (nearly £100...

Got a spare just lying there, works fine. Was soldered in, so you'll have to sort your own connectors, will come with a copy of wiring diagram and lead are all original length. £50 plus postage at cost. Mike

As I had the opportunity today, I made a little video which shows exactly how the vanos system works on the M54. Thought some might find it informative... 26mHJ7l5gUk Mike

Ended up with an extra one - BMW part No; 51117165179 Unused, and opened only to take pic, was nearly £35 from BMW, £26.50 incl recorded p&p? Mike

Anyone ever fitted them? I've seen claims of 10% extra power liberated, which would put the M54 3.0 not far behind the 3.0si.. Seems too good to be true? Mike

Ok, After 8 years fitting kitchens, I know how to fix something to a wall so it won't fall off.. But, looking for recommendations on heavy duty external brick anchors. I've been disappointed in the past with "sleeve anchors" when fitting out the shop, and I'm looking to fix some heavy...
