Re: Torque for wheel bolts
There's an easy way to remember to BMW wheel bolt torques for their 'standard' bolt sizes of 12mm & 14mm The recommended torques are ((bolt diameter in mm) x 10Nm) +/- 10Nm This means that 12mm bolts should be 120Nm +/10Nm so 110-130Nm 14mm bolts should be 140Nm +/10Nm so 130-150Nm The educated amon...

Re: What's happened to the Register?
Slightly off topic, but can we update the register ourselves or does it need to be carried out by the moderators? Admin does it but we have a backlog that needs clearing at the moment ...it must be some backlog... I submitted information and photos of #320 in 2012 and the details still haven't been...

Re: Number Plate Tape
I've used various brands of trim tape over the years without a single plate coming off. The last lot I bought was https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B076M3YYL8 and it's kept the plates on our X3 for just under 4 years - and the X3 lives outside as the Alpina gets to use the garage... :lol: You're p...

Re: Alpina D3 Touring Wanted - Is DPF Removal An Option ?
[Soapbox] Removal of a DPF is incredibly anti-social - they're installed for a reason and there's a potential fine of up to £1000 if they're removed. I, for one, hate following diesels that blast out huge amounts of soot as they accelerate. [/Soapbox] As far as an MOT goes - It’s illegal to drive a ...

Re: Locking wheel nuts Z4 Alpina
Good news that you got the nuts off (although a little disheartening to hear they are that easy to remove with the right tool!) The wheel bolt designs that just have an irregular outer surface have never offered much protection - the McGard ones with a smooth outer surface and rotating collar are m...

Re: Locking wheel nuts Z4 Alpina
There are some sockets that have a lot of little push rods that are supposed to fit misshapen or irregular nuts, I understand that some of these will work on keyed bolts Alternatively, the tyre changing places often have a variety of locking-nut 'keys' - if you have a spare 'normal' bolts, it might ...

Re: Roadster S #257
... unless the Xenons were an aftermarket upgrade? They look like standard Z4 headlights... As an example, here's an image of the headlights & interior of a low-spec 2004 2.2 SE that's currently for sale - you can see the headlight adjustment wheel inside I just grabbed the front and interior image...
