There used to be, the software developers did introduce a Beta version for users to try out and it worked great but then they dropped it pending a final release version which unfortunately we are still waiting to receive

Well, where do I start…. 
the x5 is still the same, temperamental beast but in the past week, we have managed to book tickets to go back to Brazil for Christmas, so the in laws can finally meet our son, I quit my job and got a new one which I start on the 1st dec and we found out my wife is expecting our second child! 
 

next week should hopefully be a bit more sedate! 

Huge congratulations!  funny how life goes sometimes.....I would play the Lottery tonight if I were you with the run of luck you're having 🙂

Hi....welcome to the Club

I believe it is a throttle actuator or manifold valves resetting when the engine is switched off.

It could be worthwhile to have the manifold checked as this could get noisier over time if excessively worn

Brilliant, met a lot of really "OLD" friends, I think I need a chiropractor after trying to jitterbug we both should know better at our age but sometimes ego overcomes common sense 🤣 

lol....same here with Northern Soul 🙂

Absolutely, Touring Cars from the 60's and 70's are superb to watch racing as they don't seem to care about the rarity of value of their machines 🙂
More of a Group C Le Mans fan myself

Sorry we were intending to be there but got kind of side tracked at the Revival 

Hope everyone enjoyed themselves

Dave

The Revival would have been my alternative choice Dave.....was it a good one this year?

Pic of my Z4 near the end of the show, seen in the previous post. Lots of other Z cars around the display area. I loved the 3.0 CSL in the prestige club area.

 

There were some absolutely superb BMWs in the arena....especially some of the older more obscure models you just don't see around nowadays.

Good to see your Z4 there (next to my Z3), shame I didn't get to meet you in person

See you there if you're going....don't forget to purchase entry tickets at reduced rate beforehand and also print out the dashboard club identification label 🙂

Good luck with the sale, hope you get a decent final price

I would try selling it on eBay for a 3 day auction and list the starting price at around £1700 to let it bid up from there.

The Z3's are starting to fetch good money now especially one as good condition as yours

I found a decent seller on ebay was relatively cheap as well

Thanks for the lead....fitted a new one with a secondhand roof I bought last year.
Was a hell of a job fitting the screen though, would not want to do that again.

Also, you have to buy the zipper to fit it (£9 on eBay for a couple of them)

When inserting pictures it would be nice to be able to size and move/align them in write ups. 

There may be some software updates in the near future which will facilitate alignment of text and images

We are pleased to announce the return of Simply BMW in 2021 on 19 September. All BMW owners are invited to drive into Beaulieu and park up within the museum parkland for what promises to be a superb day out for both BMW owners and enthusiasts.

Haven't ever seen any new panels being reproduced but plenty of secondhand panels available on eBay

Seem quite reasonable price for genuine but there are cheaper ones out there if you search around
