OV9

I don’t think either of my Z4s had auto tilt (both with electric seats, one with folding mirrors). I had them before Bluetooth bmw coders were cheap/available, so didn’t try to do anything about it, but seem to remember that it wasn’t an issue anyway because you hardly needed to dip them to see the ...

We are on day 9 and nothing yet... This has the capacity to be a bit of a headache as even if a NIP has been issued within time, I would give it at best a 50:50 chance of arriving within the 14 calendar days given the terrible London post (which would be by this Sunday, so effectively Saturday as t...

Yeah it gave me a bit of a jump too but it seems it's just a weird oddity and seemingly not wildly rare either :lol: According to that Z4 forum link the biggest issue is likely to be detail stuff like ANPR checks etc, so if that is an issue I might look into how much of a ballache it is to change t...

Nice purchase. I remember my Z4s more fondly than my M140i.

As others have said, take the train down and pick it up - a great bonding session with a new car.
Treat yourself to a genuine BMW ZHP gearknob - so much nicer to use than the standard one on it at the moment.

Aaaaaaaaaand all mine are back to within a percent or two. Some brave people did a lot of making money in the last couple of weeks. Dave! I was handing over a house to a client today who heads up a $20bn global fund and I've never seen him so distracted tracking stock prices on his phone - I guess ...

I think it's 14 days courtesy car regardless, but I guess I'll find out :lol: just spoke to enterprise and they said yeah, corsa or yaris type affair. Yeah been looking at local Z4 non-M Coupes and there's a few at reasonable prices. I'd just rather not be rushing into a car purchase, for obvious r...

Just for clarity, someone please tell me to stop looking at leggy Z4MCs https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202501298546639 https://m.atcdn.co.uk/a/media/w1024/048695cffa1a415b93ccc9a6c8ca1e66.jpg What could possibly go wrong? More realistically, I'm actually half considering a Z4C, although i...

Problem is that (from what I've read) it seemed to be generally agreed that the 3.0 was a "better" car than the Z4M...and didn't look hugely different either - whereas at least the Z3M has that very unique appearance Having owned both 3.0 and Z4M they’re pretty different. I think people g...

It gives me a shred of comfort that autonomous cars will never be a thing in this country.

Have you seen the Waymo Ford Mustangs being trialled around town at the moment?

I thought the suspension on our 2013 335i was disappointing - the damping was way too soft for a BMW. After three weeks it was going to have a Birds upgrade, but we drove it to France just before with friends and my wife found the back seats dismal after an hour - almost as much room as a 5 series, ...

Pointless Agreed. It’s like having a back-less Canada Goose jacket. You have clearly never been in a Defender, I once drove about 5 miles with the rear door open as at less than 50 mph, you really can’t tell 😂. It’s only when I braked hard for something and the door shut that I realised. Dave! I’m ...

37kWh battery, 56mph top speed and 82 mile range? That isn’t even worth the low asking price. Why was it even available in such a terrible spec? There is a tiny market for that vehicle. I just looked at my junior engineer's mileage if he uses a vehicle (living in Coulsdon and working in Central Lon...

Not really fleet running but its about cars... Guy working here yesterday "so you like cars then?" and off we went. Which ended in a conversation about his friend who has an F40. Chris Evans was interested in buying it and they agreed he'd fly up to see the car and meet for a chat even th...

Maybe in absolute terms but not likely on a per diem basis assuming Ian keeps in for a couple of months. Isn’t this a better answer? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202405089494337 Overall cost once you’ve resold it will be less than a decent rental, and that V8 is a superb continent crosse...

Looking at this, http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202501087841306 , and thinking how lovely would that look in Italy in the sunshine and how much would it lose if I sold it when I got back.. :? :geek: Buying from a dealer & then trading back in with a dealer ? It would be cheaper to hire...

I assume that glass is one way or are they an exhibitionist?

Here’s your answer…
It’s not on the market yet, so we’ll find out when it sells!

Speaking of 911s, I walk past this house in Bermondsey all the time, it's absolutely iconic. All the details on the house are painted black with a matching black whale-tail 911 outside. It's been like that for decades, the owner is an artist and used to hold events there too. ETA: Probably worth mi...

Having been idly looking at these recently, you can no longer buy a new P525 V8, only a P425 V8, as the P635 Octa uses a BMW V8.. all the diesels (D250/350) are mild hybrid inline 6’s (surely a diesel V8 would be best for a big, heavy 4x4!?), whilst there still a low power hybrid petrol P300e.. I h...

How cool is that John Barker video 8-) :lol: And yes, that's it stepping out of line on the straight and he's pretty quick to catch it. I see the footage of someone doing similar in Lando Norris' F40 is also doing the rounds again. Without having ever driven one, the strange this is that both of th...
