    Hey guys, I put catch can a month ago on the M4. When I checked today was quit surprised how much condensation and oil got caught. Its a pain to empty, though it is doable without removing the carbon brace. I saw that it has a plug at the bottom of the OCC, and I was wondering if any had rigged...

    Can't decide whether to stick or twist. Been driving my first BMW for a few years now, an E46 325i. Aside from exploding brake issues, and exploding coolant system issues (in all honesty, it's not been the most trustworthy of cars I've had) it is nicely refined, and nice to drive. However...

    Dealers have a weird way of thinking..update Had the car into the dealers earlier this week for routine brake fluid service and as per all maintenance activities these days they started with the CITNOW inspection (along with its little video). Brake service perfectly fine but the service rep...

    I'm thinking of buying a Z4 for the wife now that we have (nearly!) got rid of kids and can chop in the SUV she currently has. University costs are putting a dent in the budget so I only have up to £5k - and preferably less. Is there anything I specifically need to look for other than age...

    Surely the fuse box on the e90/91 has to be in the most difficult position to change the fuses. you need to be tiny and physically deformed to get anywhere near being able to swap a fuse buried deep in the black recesses of the glove box !!!!:mad:mad:mad:mad
