Just had the pleasure of experiencing a ride in the latest Z4 - M40i with 19 inch alloy wheels. The ride was firm and I just wondered if the M20i on 18 inch wheels gave a softer ride or just similar ride?

Hi Just taken my air filter out as a service item, and I found, lining the lower and upper parts of the air intake box, what appears to be a greyish/black "foam" lining. This lining does not appear on the parts list so wondering why its there as it seems to be very delicate and could cause...

Hi, I have heard, correctly ? or incorrectly?, that one can turn the audible alarm off and just keep the lights flashing when the alarm is triggered. Is this correct - apparently BMW mechanics do it when servicing the cars to prevent them from becoming deaf? Many Thanks for your comments Brian

As I am new to this website, I have tried to find a "How to" guide to help me take the tank off and replace the square black seal. At the same time I...
