That makes sense! Just noticed your forum name there. Lol.

That's what I thought Jay. But BMW are marketing the overboost as a good thing!

I wasn't sure where to post this but could someone explain what "over boost" is when referring to cars with turbo's. The BMW Z4 35i e89 is twin turbo but the Z4 35is e89 is twin turbo but with over boost feature. Any help?

Hi mate, I've had a few BMW's recently and enjoy driving them. My nephew has a 335d m sport. His came remapped but I'm sure he had another company come out and put a different map on it. I bought a brand new E92 in 2012, if your budget stretches buy a sport plus edition as they come fully loaded. It's basically an m sport with every extra on it, including m3 boot spoiler and bmw connected drive. Also the xenons and day light running lights are awesome. You can down load an app for your mobile that allows you do locate your car and unlock it etc. one last thing, forget the 50mpg!! My nephew isn't a boy racer and he only gets around 28-35 mpg.

Been with EDF for a few years now and customer service is really good. Currently on a fixed rate blue tarriff until april. If prices go up i'll move!

Good man, now how about taking our advice when it comes to choosing a new car Sent from the golf club... Lol, good point! Thinking about a Cayman S, 370z and a M135i just now. TBH 350z is probably best car I've had!

I bought a 50inch Panasonic viera LED last december and love it. I'm glad i took everyone on here's advice at the time and avoided smart and 3D functions and just bought the best tv for the money.

Ive got both an iPad 4 and iPad mini. Both sit side by side at home and 99% of the time i pick the iPad mini up. Think its due to the ergonomics of the mini. Ipad 4 has a better screen, but for what i use it for the mini is great. Also i really don't see the difference between my iPad 4 and my old iPad 2 it replaced. Ive recently started using my samsung netbook for Uni work and i find it really slow and awkward compared to the iPads. My wife finds the iPad 4 a bit heavy and its too large for her to comfortably hold, so i really only use it when she's using the mini.

Anyone ever heard of this brand? I'm hopefully buying a set of 19inch staggered fitment from here tomorrow for my Z4 3.0si Coupe. http://www.wheelcentre-scotland.co.uk

Yeah i go between those both. AG HD wax and the HD cleanser work well together after SRP!

If you're interested in trying different products, have a look for the WaxyBox thread on here, it's about £10 per month (as and when you want to do it, not subscription) and they send you sample products. Yeah i ordered a few at the start!

Hi, we have 2 Lhasa Apso's. Both have great nature's and are 4 years old. The oldest of the 2 (millie)loves to bark anytime anyone comes near the house. The other one (poppy) never barks. My vet said Millie barks because we got her first and Poppy knows barking is Millie's job?? Anyway its great that she lets us know if someone is around but not a 3am when its our 21 year old son coming home from a night out. I know i cant pick and choose when she barks but she know's fine well its our son coming home, lol.

Thanks for the replys, i'm going to order some stuff when i get home. BTW its Dodo Juice super natural hybrid that ive got just now. Just want to try something different.

Hi, i'm currently using a mixture of Autoglym and Dodo juice products but i'm looking to buy some new stuff soon. Can anyone recommend individual products that they rate highly and don't cost the earth? What i need is listed below. 1) Car bodywork shampoo 2) Polish 3) Paintwork sealer 4) Wax 5) Wheel cleaner (really mild) 6) Tyre dressing 7) Leather cleaner/conditioner 8) Car mat shampoo 9) Glass cleaner 10) Engine bay dresser 11) Paintwork tar/ contaminant remover Thanks in advance!

I currently have a BMW Z4 3.0si coupe. There is a sound generator mod that a lot of folk try. Basically there is a plastic pipe that runs from the air intake box to the bulk head, just underneath the glove box. Th plastic pipe has 2 pieces of foam inserted, one at the air box side and another in the bulkhead side. The mod basically involves removing one or both pieces of foam, depending on how much induction noise you want transferred inside the drivers cabin. The foam acts as an acoustic barrier but allows a bit of induction noise through, removing the foam increases the induction noise inside the cabin. Not all Z4's have the sound generator fitted as standard but i'm sure it can be retrofitted. Also this mod does not increase induction noise outside the car, it only applies to inside. I think BMW's sound proofing is pretty good at reducing engine noise inside the cabin, but this mod is more suited to folk wishing to hear more of there straight 6. Finally, i have read recently that BMW, along with other manufacturers are fitting devices that emit a sound recording to enhance the engine note of there car but i see this as totally artificial and not to my liking, whereas the sound generator mod that can be applied to my car is simply allowing more of my engine's noise pass through the sound proofing. Hope this makes sence!

Wont be new Dan, but they have fully loaded demonsteators with around 3000 miles and at least £7k off list price.

I'm going back in today to have an extended test drive in both. I need to call Steven in sales to re- arrange a time as he's booked both cars for this afternoon for me and ive got a meeting at 2.

It's an excellent piece of kit, it really is. Left in auto it'll get to 7th quick as, and return great MPG. Pop it into Sport auto (where I tend to leave it) and it's absolutely perfect, never caught out on gear and adapts all the time if you're pressing on or pootling. Sport Plus is just mental for the road and best left for the track, however Sport Plus and manual mode gives lightning-fast changes with the little thump in the back at WOT, and is how I drive the car when on a blat. It can be a bit clunky on the very first 1-2 shift on a cold morning, but then the oil is stone cold so to be expected. Other than that, it's flawless. It's even quicker on the 9x1 cars. Thanks for the info. I'm thinking of selling the wife's mini cooper that my son drives and giving them my z4 coupe. Then buying a cayman!

Whats your thoughts on the PDK?

Go with what your heart tells you. Because you don't have to commute your saving money every week on fuel. I always though when i sold my zed i would buy another one in the future but i don't think i ever would now. Only because theres so many other cars i'd love to own. Only you know what to do, but from personal experience, once the doubts start, its only a matter of time before i change. Good luck.

Went to Porsche Glasgow today to have a close look at the Cayman. £62k for a brand new Cayman s with PDK. £56k for a demonstrator with 3000 miles on the clock. Absolutely stunning machine but cant justify that price tag imo! Really cant see why it would cost double the price of a new 370z. Anyway all there cars are 30% more expensive than anywhere else.

If so any real life reviews/info would be appreciated!

My son just finished a BA Hons which was 4 years in Sheffield I think that's South of the Border. ..!!! B) Congratulations to him! Hope all his hard work pays off.
