    Z4M Roadster

    If it does, I'm not bloody paying. I've been quoted what I've been quoted. Even been given the job time code for some unbeknown reason. Although interesting you've said that - they said I couldn't book in on a Saturday "in case it takes longer". I told her I couldn't book it in any other day, so...

    Z4M Roadster

    A five minute job it might be, but I don't want to do it and don't have the current weekends free to go see a certain gem of a lad in Tillbury. @TomSx they've quoted half an hour all in. Which is still £90. But I feel it's a small price to pay for what seem like anal ///M fans when I come to...

    Z4M Roadster

    Lol, yeah, happy fricking new year to us buddy! A/ it's a known issue and an ///M - people on the forum ask if they've been done, so come sale time, I want to say "yes" with BMW stamps. iWish. It is warranty work - long short of it PM'd.

    Z4M Roadster

    In all honesty, on the Zed, I find them too fussy. Especially on the Roadster. Some Coupes look OK and they really suit the E46 (naturally)... I think I'm happy with the standards for now!

    Z4M Roadster

    No updates to report - goes in on the 17th to have the rear springs done at BMW. TBH I've been getting back at 9pm each night from work, so no time to drive. Saturday I'm out at the rugby and dinner... might be driving to the garage as the next time it gets driven and then away on hols for two...

    Z4M Roadster

    Interesting mate, as one has snapped. What are they out of interest - standard stuff? Parts aren't that expensive (booked in on the 17th for both rears to be done), it's just the £180p/hr labour. Ha, not at all - I bought it because of the roof. Damned if I'm not going to have it down every...

    Cookie's 2003 M3

    The proof of just how good Redish are is in the (sadly) "unusual" pictures. For example a proper wash method after work done and 3M taped up areas around the engine bay/work area. I.e. "we'll treat yours as we treat ours".

    Hmmmmmmm, yes please.

    Cookie's 2003 M3

    Hearing lots of good things about Reddish, Neil. Good Beisan Vanos upgrade thread on Z4 Forum at the moment. Methodical to the end, incl 3M blue tape around the engine bay to ensure no scratches!

    Any recommendations?

    Tripple followed up by C2V3; quick easy and inexpensive.

    Anybody use preptone?

    Cookie's 2003 M3

    Lucky you. I think mines an arsehole. Still waiting on locking wheel nut and a few other bits.

    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).

    Anybody use preptone?

    What are you using it as, a tar remover or a panel wipe (or both)?

    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.

    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 ;)

    Will come soon. Just not at the comp! Fitted the Gruppe M @Ali - can safely say it completes the car!

    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...

    What's the intake Neil? Just bought a Gruppe m for the z4mr and wondering what other options there are.

    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...

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