I think it must be twenty years since I've seen a car on bricks missing the wheels.

I tend to take them off any car that we have that's more than a few years old - this thread has reminded me that I have yet to do the X5.

It’s ridiculous, but…. If you don’t give it to the needy - what do you do with it? :? Own a thousand cars - which one do you drive? Own 50 properties all over the world. Which one are you staying in tonight? One four thousand pairs of trainers. Which one are you wearing? We all want things, but whe...

The ebay classified listing for the 530d ended on Monday. 30 days with no genuine interest. Not a single request to come and see it. Despite it being the cheapest F10 530d listed and having a higher spec than any of them regardless of price. Enquiries received were all one of the following: * "...

If it helps at all, B6 / B8 (shorter version of the B6) are a great choice. I have B8 on the 996 and I like them a lot. Yeah I'm a bit averse to lowering it given it's rollin' on 19s and the ride is....sporting enough as it is ;) Also as it stands I have zero problems with speed bumps etc. I'll fid...

Bought in 2017 for £21.5k with 27,000 miles (sold with 10,000 miles) 10,000 more miles I assume, rather than clocked :lol: I know that's over 8 years but when you have two other Land Rovers that's not a bad amount of usage. Yes - edited. The other two have only done about 200 miles combined over th...

EOTR: Land Rover Defender. Advertised it at £28,750 in the end (anything similar above that isn't selling). Didn't get any private enquiries other than scammers, and one trade enquiry, so sold it to the trader for £25k this morning - a nice easy sale when I'm 100 miles away from the car. Bought in 2...

They’re pretty difficult to price. I think I’ll put it up for £31k. Did not know they went for that sort of money, cult car I guess. Green one looks great to me though. It’s more than I paid for it 8 years ago, but thats where the market is. Similar cars are £29-36k. Anything cheaper tends to be in...

I like the white one but I also like the green one. I take it keeping two feels unjustifiable? There’s also a red one…. Ha. Nice. How much will you be looking for for the green one out of interest? They’re pretty difficult to price. I think I’ll put it up for £31k. 2 owner, 37k miles, air condition...

There’s also a red one….

Finally sorted out taxing the white Landrover for the first time in 7 years (it fell through the DVLA cracks by being sorned, then becoming tax exempt during lockdown, and I’ve been too busy to sort it since it got put back together 2 years ago). Celebrated by driving to the pub, then spent six hour...

I'd never appreciated that it appears none of the body panels are carried over between the two cars.

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?
