This is my new car, I bought it primarily for its looks. When I got it home I wanted to check the oil and tyre pressures as a priority. I opened the bonnet and thought, idiot the engine is in the boot like a 911. Looked in the boot, no engine, thought, mid-engined, like a Cayman. I looked...

This is one coat of Kamikaze ISM on top of one coat of Kamikaze Miyabi. Fantastic hydrophobic properties and lasts for years. I have used this combination on my last 5 cars. https://youtube.com/shorts/Z8YwN3Yx1kc?feature=share

I am concerned that Google and others have introduced facilities where you can change people's reaction and expression on mobile phone photos from example a sour expression to a smiling expression. This is falsifying reality. You can also delete the background to put you into another Country...

I drive a lot on Motorways and over the past 6 months have seen a lot of 'roof down' Z4's usually driving at about 56mph in either the middle or 3rd lane (if there are 4). This causes congestion and slows lorries and coaches limited to 60mph and can't use the right-hand lane. Anyone care to...

BMW is continuing it's development of Hydrogen fuelled cars as an alternative to 100% electric and Hybrid cars. Their belief is that there is a strong place for alternative fuel vehicles in the future. It would take just 3 to 4 minutes to fill up to get a range of about 313 miles. This has...

Looking at the birthdays at the bottom of the Forum page, there is a large number of people who are 53 today. Seems unusual to me for a car forum to have so many born on the 1 January 1970. I haven't checked them all, but those that I have checked are 'Newbies'.

Due to some renovation work at my house and construction of a new garage, my car had to live outside on a neighbour's drive for almost a year. I have PPF (Paint Protection Film) on the bonnet and whole front of the car and it showed signs of wear and bad water spotting due to dust from the...

I am driving to Northern Italy in January or February for 3 weeks and have just discovered that on most roads in Italy, including Motorways I need to be on Winter Tyres. I am after some advice on what to buy, makes etc. I have decided to buy new wheels as well as tyres. I will be taking my...

I see that the F1 commentators have invented their own word to describe a car bouncing. They call it ‘porpoising’. This can be added to: wheel under rotating (locking up or skidding) Standing water (puddle) Ran out of talent (crashed) I am sure there are others which I cannot think of at the...

I am a simple man who does not normally get involved in politics, but one thing has been bothering me and I cannot seem to find an answer on my own. My question is this: Why is it that the UK is behaving differently to Ukrainian war refugees that want to enter the country, and other country’s...

I have read reports this morning that yesterday's race in Brazil was Hamilton's greatest. I can't agree for two reasons. He had by far the fastest car on track, and I mean the fastest The two DRS zones, where most of the overtaking took place are the easiest places of all the tracks to pass I...

Not for everybody, but If you like beautifully restored 'older' cars and BMW's future ones, you should like this. This was from the weekend just past. I suggest that you start watching this after your 2nd glass of champagne and then finish the bottle. Rescroll to the beginning...

I actually like this, no more than like. I know, the grills, the size, the almost everything, but I cannot help it and it's 100% electric. What is wrong with me?

Pop Quiz - the revenge! Just wondered, does anybody 'Google' songs and artists that they do not know? I do and it's good to listen to music I normally wouldn't listen to. I did not want to clog the original Pop Quiz thread, hence this one.

Ralph Lauren's Bugatti Atlantic 57SC Ferrari GTC4 Lusso One would be used for getting the weekly messages.

I had a 1 hour drive in an Alpina B3 this morning. Correction, 1 hour of pure fun! This car is so fast and growls and pops in Sport Plus mode. The road holding is fantastic and as a result the cornering speeds can be high. All this from an unassuming estate (touring) car. While at the...

I just got an email from BMW to purchase 'static Safety Camera Information camera warning software' £20 for 1 year. This is purchased via the 'Connected Drive' service online. I have the latest BMW idrive 7 operating system but not a Z4. Have a look to see if it is available for a G29. A...
