I’ve just bought my first z4. It’s a 2006 2.5i,on only 65k! I think it’s an SE model. I’m planning on just keeping it as a weekend toy, which has been perfectly timed with the weather we’re having this weekend!
It’s my first time back in a petrol car after a few years running a 335d, and currently a 640d. Both of which were/are obviously a lot faster than the z4, but not anywhere near as much fun!
Cars in fabtastic condition!
But one issue it’s got is a squeaky rear wheel. It’s very apparent at low speeds with the roof down. It’s probably still there at high speeds but gets drowned out by engine and wind noise. It goes away if you apply the brakes lightly or apply the handbrake. I’ve had a look at the heat/dust shields behind the disk, and they seem tight and in good nick. Tried to push them back slightly but they seemed pretty solid and I didn’t want to push too hard and end up breaking something.
The rear wheels look to be on spacers so I’m not sure if this could have anything to do with it.
Any way here’s a pic of the car
