Since I never did receive any response to my first posting on the subject, I'm gonna give it another try. Anyone ever replaced a doorlock activator on their Z? I know it's a common weakness so hoping I can get some tips. TIS mentioned a special bowden cable tool required, but all other BMW...

Getting ready to replace my passenger lock actuator when I store the car in November. Looking for a video on this DIY. I've found similar videos from E46 but not an E85. Also need to know if the special tool is necessary to reconnect the bowden cable. Anyone have a pictorial or video? Thanks

Like the title says. Thanks

I'm looking at a way to disable the daytime running lights on my Z. If needed, I do have a software CD but I just can't find an online procedure to get this done. Thanks

Just ended what was some great R&R.

I think it's been over three years since I last took the car out for a quick photoshoot, so here it is.

Interesting technical excerpt from Alpina regarding the aerodynamics of the RS: Quote: "Basically this allows the amount of lift to be monitored as the car appears lighter as it gains speed the net effect of the lift being exerted on the car. Obviously ALPINA is trying to reduce lift in this...

Just ordered some leather dye from liquidleather.com a few days ago and used my Amex to pay online. The very next day, I get a call from Amex that someone had used my card to buy tickets on Scandinavian Airlines! :o They cancelled the card of course and declined the ticket purchase, so I'm...

I have a unique opportunity to buy this set of brand new HID replacement market headlight kit for $75!! It includes the housings, ballasts and bulbs. It will sell fast, so I want 1st chance at it. Since my car has halogen, what's involed in connecting this kit against my factory set-up?? I know...

Life is good, it's just a little better in a Z.

Mine has some loose in it, so the key kinda rattles a bit as I'm driving. Has anyone ever changed theirs and if so, is it a job that requires complex reprogramming of anything in particular?

I just received this LED kit for my E85, but the connectors don't fit. What LED kit do I need if this one's not it? It said it fit all E85-E86, but...
