Hey guys a wee update of the valve cap issue. I ended up taking it to a local tyre place and was gonna get the valve replaced £20 but the guy noticed that i was pretty close to the legal tread limit anyways and if i wanted to change the tyre £70 for normal or £170 for runflat you can guess which one i went for :rofl: funny enough the tyre with the stuck valve cap was the only runflat on the car.... :|

Are you running mixed tyres ?? On the same axel 😪

Yeah i only got the car on thursday and don't really know much about running different tyres but found out today when replacing the back right tyre that it was the only run flat on the car

You really don’t want to mix tyres on the same axel 😳 that is bad news. Front to rear “ can” be acceptable and used to tune the balance of a car but the best thing for general use is a “ set of four”

Welcome and have fun with your new car. Strange for a country that only has two seasons cold rain and warm rain how many Z4s are up here! :D
