    #ZedShed The Zed Shed evolution!

    Here's some exciting news, we have so much more room for activities :cool: As you may know for the last 8 years we've done at least 60+ Zed rebuilds in a single garage. During that time we've made one or two udeful contacts, and with one of those contacts we've managed to find a new home...

    Just in for breaking

    Just saw this advert come up on the forum Facebook group, and thought that it's worth showing that factory roll hoops clearly work well... :oops:

    Write Up Best ZRoadster.org events 🤘

    This came up as a memory today. 7 years ago when we blagged our way in to Silverstone unannounced on a Sunday afternoon for a grid photoshoot. Got me all nostalgic for the fantastic events we’ve attended through this site, thought it would make a good thread for people to post up their...

    Going AWOL for a while

    Hi all, Just to say I won't be about for a while, so unless something is physically on fire here you won't see anything of me for a while. Too much going on to be bothered by car stuff. Gary

    Rebody Welcome to the "Z Rebody" section

    A new section specifically for the growing number of rebodied Zed's joining (as requested by @jaguartvr). I'll be moving the existing threads in to this section as I locate them, and all newly posted threads will show a blue Rebody tag to make them easier for people to visually filter. Gaz

    I'll just check my oil...

    As BMW actually fitted a dipstick on the S54 engine, thought I'd check the oil after driving to office twice this week in it. Pulled the dipstick and gave it an enthusiastic wipe and this. Much rather its snapped off while outside the engine. Installed a nice new one from BMW this morning...

    #ZedShed 2006 E85 Z4 M Roadster rear sub frame rebuild

    This thread is to document a full rear subframe tear down and refresh on my 2006 Z4 M Roadster. Following an inspection service at my trusted independent BMW garage it was identified there was deterioration and play in some of the rear bushes. The diff is also has a whine most likely due to...

    BMW Z4 Wind Deflector boot lid bracket clips

    Interlagos Z4M Roadster - The Spicy Meatball

    So begins the progress thread, which actually is likely to be more about fettling than any of my previous progress threads. As you all know I bought a very well sorted forum owned Z4 M Roadster. Mechanically it's ready to roll, and in terms of any modifications I'd want to do - they're already...

    "Z4 M Roadster / M Coupe at a glance" brochure

    Found this interesting pamphlet in the document pack which seems to be a mix of marketing and technology. It has some rather interesting descriptions in it, such as: "To safely master their staggering power and performance, the Z4 M Roadster/Z4 M Coupe has a particularly large and efficient...

    OK, now I've seen it all...

    Hate being the one who calls out others modifications, each to their own and it's your car and all... But I don't need this on a Bank Holiday Monday, should have stayed in bed.

    The replacement for the TT!

    Hi all, Excited doesn't even begin to describe it, but just completed a 12 hour round trip with the ZedShed crew to pick this beauty up! It's renewed my love of the Z4 which I thought was gone and why I sold my last one. I'll start a progress thread up in due time, although there is pretty...

    Chances of appealing this parking ticket?

    Hi all, What do you reckon my chances of appealing this Penalty Charge Notice are? I just filled out the online form and told them I was submitting their own PCN as all the evidence they needed....

    Photos of shame, look away...

    My daily driver TT according to the last Audi service required new discs and pads. As I was unable to organise a mortgage to get them to replace them (Audi quoted me £970 for discs and pads all round) we whipped these off the rear today and replaced them with some Brembo discs and pads from GSF...

    Hi all, This is possibly a little premature, but our 10 year anniversary is looming at the start of December. Going on some recent comments here and also a discussion with a few people I thought we'd look at a special edition logo. This is both for 10 years, and also for those who fancy...
