    BMW M4: Issues/ must have spec?

    The 'undetectable' map questions get asked at least twice a week on the 135/140 page on facebook. Facepalm.

    Loud whistle on idle - coming from throttle body.

    I think it might have been you that posted on the FB forum. Hope you got it sorted. I had this and it was where I had done a service and not tightened down the plenum properly. Air was squeezing in through the gaps and made the most horrendous screeching noise.

    Just washed and dried a load. Ill see how they are. Maybe the chemical guys microfibre wash will revive them a bit :)

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    On the topic of microfibres and washing them. Also caught the Mrs cleaning mine (how very dare she) but used softener. They were crap as expected but theyve improved. A couple of drying towels didnt get the softener treatment but even when washing with chemical guys microfibre wash, they arent...

    I recently ventured down the path of Polish Angel products. Not sure if theyre well known at all but those who take the *expensive* plunge normally have pretty good things to say. Their shampoos were a major let down but I persevered and bought some QD's and their Master Sealant. If you're...

    Up for a meet?

    Ive just come out of it. Cant lie, it sucked but I spent 2 full days paint correcting mine. Anyway, off topic. Hope the 1 person that goes to this meet enjoys themselves ..

    now come on mark, firstly we know those racing gloves arent anything but pristine. Secondly, from what I hear, you sit quite frequently by yourself with them on ;)

    ah its a shame I cant make it. Would loved to have told you how rubbish the N55 is and how superior my B58 is....(Joking of course)

    didnt get a notification on this and just stumbled across it by accident lol I cant make this week folks im working. I also live in Sussex now (lardy daa) so it would be a jaunt for me. Although the prospect of seeing Markcup and his gloves is mighty appealing

    What have you ordered? *Detailing*

    Another vote for Direct Hoses. I had their all black 7 (or 9) as a christmas present. Brilliant. Wanted a reel for my 20m hose. Tried to order one and they called me, asked me to send it back to them as they had to attach it. They did this quite quickly and free of charge. Cant argue there!

    M140 Thread

    Mark, if anyone is going to know the answer, its going to be you! How did the Bilsteins transform the car? Ive heard it makes it more 'compliant' down a B road but without making it wishy washy. Thoughts please :)

    M140 Thread

    The only bit I could disagree with what youve said is the comfort part. Generally, theyre comfortable. The cabin is a great place to be. everything is where you'd expect it to be. I do find the dampers on the 140 a bit pants. It skips over bumps on a b road too much for my liking and feels quite...

    M140 Thread

    Had my 140 about 18 months or so now. Its just such a good all round car. I use mine for business a lot and always visit customers at their homes (no im not a sex worker...) and very rarely do I get anyone making comment about it. Thats exactly what I wanted. Nothing worse than asking for...

    yeah, was a bit of a gamble but I had to meet a minimum order at Slims so just thought why not. Was well impressed. Should be good for like £12 but I was really impressed tbh. Wool ones dont seem to hold suds very well. That said, they were about £1.50 each haha

    might sound like a silly one but wash mitts. Picked up an 'Incredi Mitt' recently and damn its the nuts. Ive got about 13 'hand in' mitts some wool some meguiars white ones. This one smashes it out the park. Holds way more suds and just feels safe. Would recommend!

    Smells lush that Hybrid too! Got myself a sample bottle. Felt it was too similar to Polar Seal (much cheaper) so didnt change

    Im also a big fan of the turtle wax spray on sealant stuff. For the money (sometimes on offer with ECP at £5) its exceptionally good value. I struggled to kill it when I was doing a decon too!

    Bought a bottle of Sonax BSD and used it last night. Makes the paint exceptionally slick. Cant comment on beading yet but it wont be long knowing the weather. Looks great on the car for how easy it is to apply and buff

    The New Phone Thread

    I picked up a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G a few weeks back. Thought I would post my experience on here. Its a very smart looking phone, its huge and the screen is the best I think i've ever used on a phone. The camera is definitely more impressive than my previous S20 but less impressive than I...

    You might find that what I said works. Its what I do when I want to give the car a deep clean and get a brush into all the intricate areas. Normal dilution of foam doesnt tend to last long enough for me to fart-arse around. Mix a bit of the 'shaving foam' style snow in with it and it bulks out...

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    I agree with the above regarding BH Autofoam. It does tend to slide off and 'split' quite quickly especially on a heavily waxed or slick car. Not generally a problem as @Sunglasses_Ron is exactly right, it cleans so damn well. I will say this though, in the middle of summer when its hot and I...

    I've been an advocate for polar seal for a while now. I love the stuff. I switched to some other lance based sealants and even some spray bottle ones. Still am yet to find something that's as easy as polar seal. And it lasts well too providing you've a good base to start with

    MarkCup's BMW M140i

    Its difficult for me to comment exactly as I havent ever run the car with MPSS. However. Big however. I totally get where you are coming from. The goodyears I had before had much stiffer sidewalls (great Mark Cup video on this topic I believe). When I first fitted the PS4 tyres I definitely...

    A question for you @MarkCup How do you find your 140 is on tyres at goodwood? Tempted to do a track day but just had pilot sport 4 boots fitted all round. Not the ideal track tyre im told! Appreciate its all about how hard you are but as ive got limited track experience ill probably be going...
