    Z4M Roadster

    Taken up to The Lakes these last few 48hours. Couple of hundred more miles on the clock (circa 500 in now) and an absolute breeze in wet/hail that we had on the way back today. Thing looks a mess with all the dirt and salt on the roads but a decent jet down has got rid of most of it. Few...

    Cookie's 2003 M3

    Presume as its a dealer that Terry has bought it from that you can also claim on their warranty if any work does need doing. As I am having to do with a broken rear spring, found by BMW's winter health check (best £20 I've spent @Cookie).

    There are many reasons I stopped following that group. This sort of post plus "look dem driving Whip wid no seetbelts cos safer".

    Nilfisk or Karcher?!

    This isn't actually true anymore. Karcher woke up to the issue about 18months ago and have apparently fitted a "better quality plastic" part. Since then there have been far fewer failures. Having said that, damage done so I'd still go for a Nilfisk.

    Z4M Roadster

    I ran out of time, Dan. The fecking thing comes in 50 parts with "Engrish" instructions that are utterly useless. You know I'll be rearranging them today ;)

    Z4M Roadster

    Loving it chap. Few minor things to sort to get it how I want. Detailed with some 2500 menz, the DA and hex to start then got bored so whipped out the rotary and 3M yellow. Finished with Tripple via da on black hex and Reload. Not perfect but fifty times better. Wheels need to come off as...

    Z4M Roadster

    Nope! Insp1 is £5-700 for a oil filter etc change. But the indies check timing and shims so quite a lot of work. Rear brakes I've been quoted £300 ish, fronts are £700 ish. I've got a broken rear spring that I'll have to throttle the dealer for in warranty (9 days old), replaced in pairs...

    Z4M Roadster

    It's a small car ;) I've not exactly bought it for its storage capabilities!

    Z4M Roadster

    That's a large away bag, suitable for over a week including walking boots etc. so not small but not hatchback.

    Z4M Roadster

    No this has plenty of power for me! That is chap - I haven't got satnav so not sure the intravee will do mine much good - have Bluetooth although waiting for this to work with ios8! Given it a one dayer here while I had a spare day. I'll do a brief write up later. Will need a decent...

    3M Headlight Restore FAIL!!!!

    Proof that this kit is not all it's cracked up to be. Simple fact is you've used to coarse a grade and then not followed it up with the lesser grades/polish. Let me guess, it was roughly 500 grade? Not at all - the idea is to go one way (vertical or horizontal) with one grade, the opposite with...

    The £10,000 detail

    No glasses, ear defenders or gloves? Amateurs. As has been said, play the game right and you can earn this sort of cash on a detail.
