Hi forumers, After just over 5 years I parted with my beloved Z4C yesterday. Whilst actually turning out to be a bit upsetting, it is to make way/space for a Truimph GT6 eventually. I just wanted to say thanks for being a great forum and for all the advice and input over the years, it really...

Owned since Jan 2020 and has been my daily since. Sapphire Black 137k will rise a little as still in use FSH Xenons Cruise control Rear Parking Sensors Heated Seats MoT Nov 2025 Next Service: Inspection II I have maintained the servicing schedule and included additional interim oil/filter...

2006 E86. Could recent temp flunctuations be the blame, in my case 12C one day, down to -4 by the next morn? Never had an issue with moisture inside the car previously. By wet I mean good amount of condensation but not drenched. Only other thing is I had a genuine BMW screen put in recently...

Hello folks, I bought my Z4C with a custom exhaust fitted by the previous owner and they didn't retain the old one..thought nothing of it at the time. I think I've had enough of the noise...I know, must be getting old. On the off chance I was wondering if anyone has an original system kicking...

Hi folks, Had my first EML on the dash in 3 years of owning my Z :cry: It was on a drive home from TWG 30 miles or so, enjoying my new CSL geometry. Pressing on but not nailing it, I'm quite feather footed, 4k rpm tops. Obviously I'll call TWG on Tuesday but in the meantime I wondered if...

Hello forumers, I noticed my rear window starting to condensate recently, I figured my dehumidifing hacky sack thingamejig (actually works really well) needed 'recharging'. Having done that and the problem persisted, I turned to the forum so research possible causes. General consensus was the...

Something I wanted to run past you all that's alluding me... I have this sort of deep whirring noise, sounds rotary, particularly at 70mph and I'm pretty sure it's near side rear. Heres the rub, it happens at the beginning of the journey when first getting to 70, lasts a couple of mins max and...

Hello folks, Recently got back from a skid pan session at Thruxton earlier today. Thoroughly enjoyed it and can't recommend enough. This was an 'in your own car' session. Really fun with some good tips too, and for someone like me who has never been sideways before, it's very interesting to...

Another small rant in a series of "I've done a thing and I'm impressed with the result and must share my experience" apparently. This time Vanos Soleniods on a 112k car, never had a perfect idle but would never describe it as rough. One thing it would do was hunt for 5 secs or so after a warm...

Recently refreshed suspension all round with Bilstein B4s and Suplex springs - for an e86 3.0si MSport I got lemforder topmount all round and the OSR has given up, only been on the car 2 months! And all driving is just b roads and very casual cruising, not ushing it. Could get lemforder for...

Hi folks, Just got the Zed back from TWG, Isp1, brake fluid and sump gasket. The latter we rainchecked as the leak (which is more of a sweat) is still not conclusive. Whilst chatting on the phone about the possibilty of Rear Main Seal being the issue, clutch and flywheel came up natutally but...

Simple question...who is going?

Hi Folks, Hit a bit of a wall trying to ascertain the best course of action to replace my offside headlight. My sidelight died spectacularly inside the unit and part of the angeleye assembly is melted to the entrance hole (giggety) of the sidelight lens. I understand there aren't aftermarket...

Hello, Got a curious issue with my rear light cluster. Bulb warning came on and did a walk around and found it was the nearside foglight. I examined the bulb and it was visually fine and worked on the other side. I ran a code reader on the car and no errors, which is both great but not...

Fetching out drivers side boot carpet and saw this...enlighten me, failsafe petrol flap release?

Hi folks, Side light went the other day with a warning on dash. I've done a bit of reading on here but my side light situation seems different. Rather than removing the whole angel eye assembly I went to remove the plug to the bulb and the bulb and smaller inner holder came out (see pic)...

Phwoar look at those beads, shout out to the rain for not being to heavy either :rofl:

Im gearing up for a post-winter spruce up and whilst washing the car earlier I was thinking "hey this paint looks pretty decent know I think about it" I ran my hand in a nitrile glove over a few places and it was still super smooth, that said it is a tiny bit grabby' when drying using a top up...

Has anyone bought top mounts recently, particularly Lemförder? I'm having trouble finding them for the rear dampers :(

Temporarily relocated to Bognor Regis and wonder if there are any Z4s in the locale?
