Bit of hype maybe.. Having done the NC500 now over 10 times in various permutations this year we decided to really push the boat out. A bit of artistic licence as we will start the trip outside the highlands but the scenery excuses that. So around 1,000 miles over 5 days. Day 1 Ayr to...

Posted here as I’m sure the Z3/E85 guys must have trod this path many times.. The 3c year old rubber hoses that connect the calipers to the fixed lines are corroded / seized to oblivion…tried 5+ days of penetrating fluid / blow torches ..only one junction has come apart predictably the rest are...

I know how Wernher von Braun felt at times…sometimes you don’t realise how far you’re in… Tidy up today and review..

I suspect not many folks will be in the market for BBK on E89s but thought I'd post this anyway.. So the show stopper issue is E89s have an integrated electronic parking brake embedded into a relatively normal single piston sliding caliper. This means that the normal route of potentially many...

Another surprisingly capable CarPlay unit fitted to an idrive-less E89…again quite good audio..this one boots up very quickly…great screen and very responsive… Before the cable police arrive..yes the cables could be better routed..we’ll visit that in the spring..getting a better usb charger...

In my opinion , this being my 10th NC500 trip in the last 8 years this was the best one yet. Clearly having the 3 main days all dry, mostly blue skies and sunshine made a big difference. Of course when you book a trip like this months in advance who knows what the weather is going to be like...

Popped in to book some work ..very taken with this puppy…cleanest Z3 since my boss’s back in1991..

Z4 Owners Scotland is having their first get together on the 17th March at the Blair Drummond Smiddy near Stirling ….FK9 4UY Suggest getting there for 09:00 for 09:30 sit down.. If folks are interested and weather is benign you can go on a short run to Stronachlschar on Loch Katrine led by...

Would like to re-cover my Z4 E89 dashboard …I have a nice leather kit ready to go..but I’m not sure my skill set is up to this …. Any recommendations on a suitable person / shop that would do this?

After struggling with a DCT gearbox leak for several months..and finally resolved…topped up the gearbox..usual two stage fill process..and while I was there a fresh Mahle oil filter and 7 litres of Fuch’s finest ester based 5w-30..time to get on with the winter’s program… So an Audiotec Fischer...

Joined a few months ago..seems that the forum is very Z3 centric..nothing wrong with that of course. I see a few folks with a Z3 and a later Zed. Wonder given so many different Zed related social media sites why folks land and stay here? Part of my question is related to how much non Z3...

Here’s a link to 2024 weekend and longer outings organised by myself and others on two other forums. There‘s a cordial invitation to zroadster members to join these runs if you so wish. i know it’s early to be thinking about 2024 but with availability of hotels declining rapidly and prices...

Greetings from the Scottish Borders.. A few of my Z4 buddies have also got Z3s…as well as my old boss..his is an immaculate 1997 28i roadster I think..as a result came across zroadser.org on my internet travels.. Had a E89 20i MSport Auto in Atacama Yellow from 2017 to 2022 and now an E89...
