    108 alloys

    My Z4 ownership days are over but I have a set of 108 alloys left. A bit of a mixed bag, one of the front 8-inch alloys has a tyre, and the alloy is in very good condition. The Bridgestone tyre has plenty of tread left. The other front alloy is also in very good condition. As for the rears, the...

    Well, it was an amusing but dangerous morning replacing the front strut. The previous owner had decided just to replace one, probably wanting to retain some form of originality perhaps? So left me to risk life and limb with the help of some Temu spring compressors to replace it. Discovered two...

    Strut to hub bolt question.

    After discovering my car only has one front Bilstein strut being described as having two front Bilstein struts, I have started on the twisting path of replacing it. The strut was shot but the spring had a BMW tag still attached to it. Many videos have been watched and a whole list of replacement...

    Handbrake Dentistry.

    My handbrake is becoming a bit of a joke. Yesterday my car started to move by itself! The handbrake ratchet seems to be missing a few teeth, it may pass the next MOT or may not so I have been looking at options. Secondhand ones are £150. I know you can remove the handbrake by bending back the...

    Brake pad location and copper grease

    I watch this chap's videos and always like to pick up a few pointers. At 10.55 he explains the bump on the back of the brake pads should correspond to the slot in the brake piston. The Z4 as far as I can see does not have this but other cars I own, R56 Mini certainly do and this explains why I...
