I've got my e85 SORNd and holed up in a local authority garage which has no power for the winter/lockdown period. The battery isn't great and will only crank slowly if left standing for a couple of weeks, so I suspect leaving it for an extended period it'll flatten completely. I've got a jumper...

I've just started watching Memphis, binge watching his garage build and E28 renovation. Any other favourite suggestions for lockdown? :driving: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs1BabB20dGAoYA0iTbG3UQ

Can't decide if I've got a need for one of these or not, but I'm a sucker for a new gadget and have bought into Echo devices around the house! :P...

My roof motors are both working ok, but the front catches stick sometimes and need a gentle nudge from inside to release (mainly the left side) to get the roof moving. Has anyone else had this and know of a fix? I think the roof has been off at some point in its history and while it opens and...

Does anyone have a recommendation for replacement ignition switch,I think mine's on it's way out. I have started to get random lockouts where nothing happens when I turn the key to the start position, then after a few tries starts normally. It's an E85 auto. At first I thought I'd found a...

Just had my MV2's refurbed and the centre caps now look decidedly tatty! What do I need (dia.) and where do I get them? - There's a lot of stuff on eBay for <£10 which for BMW accessories seems too good to be true! Does anyone have any recommendations? - I'm looking for the original...

Short notice as it finishes tomorrow, but Costco are offering a discount on Goodyear tyres. £40 off 2, or £80 off 4 18", or £50/100 off 19". I just paid £355 for 2 x 255/35/18 and 2 x 225/40/18 Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s incl VAT and fitting. They're on back order till mid Nov, which suits me, but...

Hi does anyone know anywhere Herts/Beds/Bucks who can do minor paint repairs without a full panel respray? I have a patch of clear coat lifted on the top of a wing, smaller than a 10p caused by a leaf sticking or something. There's no rust or damage and the paint coat is fine,. but it's bugging...

I've Finally fitted a Pure Highway 400 DAB adaptor, which is similar to the 300di from an antenna perspective, but the controller is wireless and is has no other inputs, but supports Spotify wirelessly and Bluetooth streaming. Thanks to sidewaze samm for the cable routing tips. It was pretty...

...Is there a second coming of the Z4? :driving: "Most users ever online was 1574 on Mon Sep 16, 2019 12:57 pm"

The roof motor on my E85 is currently broken, though I'm able to use it in manual mode with the red cable pulled. It folds back and sits ok, when down, though doesn't click into place which the manual suggests it should. The interior release latch above the centre storage unit is also 'locked...

I've just bought a 2007 E85 3.0l si with DSP/Nav and despite it being a pile of cr*p by today's ICE standards, there is one thing that is really bugging me! - The screen flap won't stay shut. Although the screen can be closed once a source/channel is selected, it insists on re-opening every...

Hello folks! Returning to the fold after a few years, when I had a 3.0l si Black Sapphire/Oregon Beige Manual. Wind forward 12 years and I've just picked up this 3.0l si Midnight Blue/Oregon Beige auto with 43K. - Unfortunately, roof motor is broken! :| Then (on the day of it's birth!): Now:
