Oem mesh wind deflector for my E85, BMW part for models without the factory slot in type.
What have you bought for your Zed this week?
- Thread starter bombur
- Start date
A/C service and re-gas today. They took out 200g and put back the required 900g. It passed the pressure test and no idea when it was last done. Told to bring it back in two weeks and they will check for leaks.

I got another one of these.
Collected it on Wednesday, the same day that the oil burners driver door window decided to implode to the bottom of the door. We had a new one fitted last September so was still in warranty, but, when they opened the box they found a used item some aerosol
had sent back. Obviously the return control not very good. The next one was broken when removed from the box. Upshot is we didn't collect the car until middle of Friday afternoon. A chap I spoke too about the E89 roof on Wednesday was busy till Friday and then on 2 weeks holiday. But he suggested fitting the other end hall sensor on the o/s ram. I have found a man on the Internet with the exact same issue I have in that the 2 roof sections will not "unstack" when you try to put the roof up, and then the windows won't work, or the boot lock either. He discovered some broken wires in the roof section. So, I'm going to fit this sensor and hope for the best.
Tony.
ps. On top of the things that won’t work, you get the thing that does work. Bong, Bong,Bong, you get the idea. And turning up the steroid no help either or you get BONG,BONG,BONG,BONG, I’m still here.

MOT for the Z4MC - All passed, no advisories !!
M54 3.0 manifold swap (on 2.8), rebuilt DISA, new vac lines, PCV and re-mapped ECU. Goodridge brake hoses and one hardline because I couldn’t split a joint on one of the rear center hoses. Brake fluid flush.

Wheels refurbished this week, now in "smoked chrome". Interestingly, one wheel was found to require straightening. This was done, at extra cost, but has made a huge difference to how the car feels on the road.
Looks really nice, I have a spare set of style 55's that I plan to refurb myself...was going down the black route but think smoked chrome would be better now.
I was really happy when I bought this device for charging the phone on long trips...
...and yesterday I realised that my aftermarket radio already has a USB connector... blimey

I assume you mean you'll charge the phone on the radio's usb socket? Check the specs in the radio user manual to see if it has enough mA. It might have enough for a data connection or to power a usb memory stick but phone charging likes a few mA more.I was really happy when I bought this device for charging the phone on long trips...

thats a good thought..definitely not enough from the stereo...and breathe
Already checked that - according to my phone it takes 30 minutes from 80% until it's fully charged. Definitely can live with that 
A few weeks back my O/S rear brake caliper was seizing up as I could feel and smell that something wasn't right. Took the car to my indy and he'd already checked out availabilty of new M rear calipers (£370 each 
and on back order from Germany), so I decided on the Bigg Red refurbishing route.
Before
After
Cost £165 for anodised silver finish + £14 postagae
Excellent quality, they took longer than the 15 days they told me it would take - 21 days all told. I've given them a coat of blue paint myself before my indy fitted them along with new discs and pads etc.
I'll be doing front calipers later in the year.

Ordered two boot gas struts from ebay as the boot has started falling down on my head. £17.99 for the two. Original bmw ones seem to be about £100.00 for a pair.
Package from Martin @ZEDonist UK arrived today. Hopefully fix my temperamental power roof. It goes up ok so assume it’s not the brake pedal switch..fluids etc are ok in the motor..gotta be the switch, the wires or a relay ?
