Right it was my birthday friday so i treated myself, heres a slight upgrade, my bmw strut brace and also with abit of elbow greese i polished alot of the exposed parts of the engine to, sad i know but hey it keeps me out of trouble






to polish the engine i used autosol metal polish, its taken me about 2 weekends to get it perfectly shiny, sadly the pics dont show off the true shine, the brace is a great upgrade i can recommend it to all z4m owners, on the roadie it makes a sizeable difference!! plus looks ACE under the bonnet.

Aha ? Sorry. Didn't think of that. (Just noticed the other cable running off from the red one).

Don't rub too hard, you'll make it sore! Fingers that is. hehe

Nice strut.
