    Assistance with hood repair

    Hi fellow colleagues! My wife got in an accident and rear-ended a van 😳. The hood and grill looks damaged but hopefully not the chasis itself. What are my options and how can I fix this? I'm in Los Angeles/Orange County if anyone has any recommended body shops! Thanks for your input!

    Intermittent Power Hood Problem

    Hi, I have a 2001 Z3 3.0 which I absolutely love, but it’s at that age when random bits start going wrong. Today, for the first time, I had a problem closing the hood.

    Wanted Sadly, I need a new hood

    Hi guys, after taking my Z4 for a service this time last year, regrettably to a non BMW specialist, I wonder if they caused a problem with the computer as immediately after the service, it had a handbrake fault, it just stopped working. When I took it to a BMW specialist, there was nothing wrong...

I’ve had my z4...

    Greetings all! It's been awhile since I have posted, I trust you all are doing well. Aside from being crazy busy, I found some time to continue getting Tessa, my 2000 Z3 2.3L back on the road. I am due to start a restoration thread on it, but she has passed all required inspections after her...

    Where to get a new roof from (North West)

    So I want to put a new roof on Rosie but when I looked around in the North West, i'm getting quotes between £700 & £900! Anybody any idea what a reasonable price is for a new roof? Another option is to buy the roof from Monsoon (£400ish) but then how difficult are they to fit or can anybody...
