Hi all just bought a z4, its a car I have wanted for a while.
The wife had to come to see when I went to view it

.
Her face when the engine started. I don't have the car at home yet picking it up Friday, has anyone here took the plug out from the sound generator pipe?
Is it worth it?

Welcome aboard!

congrats on your purchase, the 2.5 is a great car!
Are you sure you have a sound generator, it's not standard on the 2.5i.

Oh I didn't know that. NVM.
I have pics already. I am a little worried about the steering rack.

Not now but how common is it that it goes?

Love the colour, dont think the 2.5 has the sound generator 3.0 only (well mine doesn't?)

Welcome to the forum!

The rack itself is pretty much trouble free, the electric assistance motor fitted to the steering column is another matter lol, but don't worry as it's an easy fix.

Lovely, the merlot red is very smart. Is that a dark interior in yours?
As already said the 2.5 doesn't have a sound generator, personally I don't think it needs it. The bark of mine is nice enough, it's a 2.5 as well. Get a good blast out with the hood down, you'll love it
