Z4 Newbie Cheshire

Post by JakubJames » Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:08 pm

Hi guys,

Thought I'd introduce myself. Bought this 2.0 Z4 and absolutely love it. Heated seats, half leather and lovely black alloys! :thumbsup:

Not cheap to insure for a 24 year old but certainly worth it!

Few questions I have read:

1. Can you remove the sound generator on a 2.0 litre?
2. Best tyres to get next time round? Have some P606 on currently but they are low tread right now
3. Recommended other mods?
4. Cheap places to have tiny scuffs removed in Cheshire? Best DIY methods to do it?
5. Any meet ups taking place soon

Any other advice would be greatly appreciated. This is only my second car so I'm learning as I go along!

Thanks guys,

It's been on my bucket list for a few years now and when my Peugeot 106 died I thought "IT'S TIME!"

Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

Great choice of car you have there - but we're all biased on here!

1. I'm sure I read recently that only 3 litre ones have the sound generator.

2. I'm not sure what tyres you have, but if they are run-flats many on here recommend switching to non run-flats.

Sorry I can't help with your other questions, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who can!
