I've just noticed the 'topic attribute' is missing from the marketplace posts? Unless I'm just being a bit thick 😂 Easily fixed in the title for new posts, but the others aren't designated, on my phone at least

Due to a nightmare involving a bottle of (thankfully clean) engine oil, I'm after a new one of these... I have a Z4M, although not sure whether they're any different to the standard ones? So if anyone is breaking a vehicle, I'd be interested to have a look to compare.

Hello, A few years ago my alternator died while driving. Got recovered back home where I bought a rebuild kit (new slip rings and a voltage regulator) and also changed the battery. That seemed to fix it. Although after that, there was occasionally a battery light when first started, and if not...

May be some use to someone before I take it to the tip. An obvious scuff from where I tried to park on a branch... So will need paint. Although other than that, it looks straight and not misshapen and the plastic clipping points are intact. If you need any better photos, let me know...

Evening all. I'm due to be moving house soon as a kind of last minute thing. I have a soft top on the car with some damage after a run in with a tree branch... Currently all good with a hard top on at the moment, although I do have a spare roof which I haven't got around to replacing, and...

As above. Mine has just gone with a crack... Not ideal in the weather we're having recently 🤦‍♂️...

Hello all, Just wondering if any of you currently have your front bumper off and could get a few pics of your passenger side front corner? I had a run in with a deer in my Z4M, meaning I've had to get a new front bumper and headlight. But there are lots of plastic bits broken under the oil...

I've recently done a number down the passenger side of my E85 M (don't ask, we all know what happened...). I'm looking for replacements, preferably in sapphire black: Left headlight (clear hockey stick and silver inner) Passenger side front wing Passenger side door panel Passenger side rear...

Standard backboxes taken from my 2006 M. They're up in the eaves of my garage at the moment. But if anyone is interested I can get them down and get some photos of them. Collection preferred from Lincolnshire. May be able to package them up if required, although postage may be a bit awkward...

Hoping some of you electrical whizz's can lend some advice here. My M died last night and the alternator was the fault. Got it back home and got the alternator off. From those pictures, does it look as though the voltage regulator has worn out? The bearings are all good and theres no obvious...

I'm waiting for a jump start atm so I'll be brief. Driving along. Red battery light, followed by amber tyre pressure, abs, brake light etc. Pulled over and RPM gauge and speedo stuck (not moving) but engine started 'throbbing'/hunting. Turned off and back on again, cockpit blacked out, tried...

Hi guys, hoping some of you fine gentlemen may have experienced something similar in the past... About a week ago, I noticed the bulb warning lamp on the dash, and that my passenger side indicator was stuck permanently on (even with engine turned off and car locked...) one flat battery later...

Been a while since I've been on the forum... But in the search for new tyres, initially for replacement PS4's as I have on now. But just found these linked below, cheaper than the PS4's. Has anyone used this website before...

I've had a quick browse, but cant find anything recent/specific... I've decided I'm going to change the coolant as mine seems to be erring on the low side. I rang BMW up and they didnt fill me with confidence when they couldn't tell me categorically which type of coolant I should use, the 'old'...

I was planning to keep them with the car after buying a modified pair, but in the process of moving house and need the space. Not sure what these have been fetching recently, but i was thinking £200 collected, or may post if required. I can get photos if anyone is interested. Located in...

Could be opening a can of worms here, and I've done a bit of research but not found anything conclusive (obviously). I'm going to be doing an oil change and I've got 2 litres spare of Castrol Edge 10w60. Although for this one I'm tempted to try out the Shell Helix Racing instead (pretty sure...

Hi, Had a problem start a month or so ago with brake judder. Just taken it down to the local Indy who told me there seems to be excessive play in the forward control arm Bush and suggested replacing the whole thing. I'm considering having a crack at it myself, but could anyone point me in the...

As per the title really... No doubt along with half the other M owners who don't already have one :D

Hi, I've owned my M since beginning of last summer and loving the spirited road driving so far, but really want to get it over to Blyton Park in the summer months this year. Having never driven any car on a track day, I'm just wondering if I could get some advice on the prep before hand. The...

Hi, Relatively new to Z4M ownership. Mine has done about 75,000 miles and so far i haven't noticed anything untoward from the engine or anywhere else (touch wood). However, for peace of mind, I'm wanting to look into getting the rod bearings replaced and valve adjustment done. Obviously I would...
