As the cathedral is owned by the French government and not the Church, is the church on the hook for any of the cost?

There won’t be any official BMW recommendation but I’ve recently changed from run flats and have set rears at 36 psi and fronts at 34. This has been recommended by other E89 owners and it feels pretty good on mine too. The change from the Bridgestone run flats has been amazing - wish I’d done it...

You’ve overlooked the E89 23i....that was a 2.5 litre 6 cylinder that was the entry level model until the 20i 4 cylinder turbo replaced it. It was probably the biggest seller in the early years of production when sales volumes were at their highest so I’m not sure it would be accurate to say 4...

Welcome from a fellow Essex Zed owner.

I think these are a rare sight on UK roads because in the two years since their launch they just haven’t sold well. FIAT recently dropped the model from their range although it remains available under the Abarth brand. Pundits criticised its higher price compared to the MX5 which, apart from the...

Later E89’s have in-wheel tyre pressure sensors (earlier worked via ABS system) and the tyre pressure for each wheel is displayed via the iDrive screen. If a warning is sounded you know exactly which tyre to check ;)

Please add me Paul - really enjoyed it this year, even the rain! Bob

Hi Greg, welcome from me in Essex. An E89 in white is a good choice - looks great :thumbsup:

I tried listing mine a few months ago when I was asked what my favourite car colour was. I was convinced I’d had more red ones, as proved to be the case! Anyhow, here’s my list, hopefully in the right order of ownership (some owned concurrently)..... Mini 1000 - yellow HC Vauxhall Viva - blue...

Besides the Zed, our daily is an Audi Q3. My wife also buzzes about in a Ford Fiesta.

I have keyless entry on my Zed so I bought this https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F192398434269 Put my key in it and standing next to my car tried to open the door and no response.

Hi from me in Essex and welcome to Z4 ownership :coolsteer)

If you have a branch of Wilko's near you they sell large microfibre towels in the car section for £2 each. Been using them for ages and they work well, so much easier and faster than using a chamois!

I’ve had three french cars, including a Citroen. All of them were bought new and proved to be more trouble than they were worth. I’ll never have another. That’s a shame as I particularly like the styling of modern Citoen’s but there’s a reason why they are usually sold at huge discounts from...

Hi Bob, welcome to the forum from Essex. Nice looking ZED you have there :thumbsup:

Wouldn’t be surprised if they made a come back with the Government admiting last month that the number of untaxed vehicles has tripled since the discs were abolished - revenue loss was put at £107m for the past year!

That’s strange, I’m currently insured with CK and changed the plate without any charge. It was within a month of taking out the cover though.

Hi Graham, welcome from Essex in the UK. We like pics so looking forward to seeing a few of your new ride :p

It says BMW Recommends Castrol on the oil filler cap of my Zed! However I think BMW switched to recommending Shell in 2015. Whatever brand you use, make sure it complies with (or exceeds) the stated specification for your particular engine. Personally I use Mobil 1 ESP.

I remember having a heated arguement with my wife many years ago who wanted me to stop on a motorway so she could get something out of the boot because one of the children in the back was feeling sick. Knowing that many people are killed each year on motorway hard shoulders I said I'd leave at...
