Well I'm back from my hols and picked her up last night.....
Not too bad for first car money.....
Roof (front motors) turning but cant seem to get any catch release even when trying in manual mode ? ah well that can wait.
Anyhow straight off to have a decent service today (unknown when last in a garage apart from MOT) ? im assuming it should be the valve clearence service but i think ill get her all checked out with all fluids done first....
Can i ring BMW to ask if they have any history on system ? even after 15yr ? there are some BMW invoices from a couple of dealerships showing small repairs over last six years or so ?
Can anyone tell me whats actually included or supposed to be in Toolkit? My wheels are 18s reps (No Locking nut) so it ll be fun getting them off if brakes need doing.....
pics to follow

Hi, it’s only the 3.2 litre Z4M that needs the valve clearances checking/adjusted-all other z4 models have self adjusting hydraulic liftersRROB wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 8:26 am Well I'm back from my hols and picked her up last night.....
