Was any air at all coming out of your vents ?

I was surprised there was too! Previous owner hadn't changed it for a while I guess

We picked up my wife's Z4 on Tuesday, it's a blue 2.0i SE with cream interior. Had an oil leak at the front of the engine that had been left for a while so at the weekend I cleaned it up with some degreaser and replaced the cam cover gasket. I should have taken some before and after pictures. Then I took it for a drive with the hood down and it's great, really pleased with it. I was so happy with it that I treated it to a valet at the local hand car wash

Finally got round to the fog light condensation fix that other members have done by drilling three holes on the underside of the plastic fitting, used a hairdryer for a few minutes, condensation gone, fingers crossed it stays that way, took the hardtop off yesterday the suns out so I took it out for good long ride

So my refurbed wheels have been causing vibration in the steering, after having the shop rebalance them twice to no avail, I had a look and they have painted the mating face with the hub

I don't know how a company that specialises in painting wheels doesn't know that you should never paint the bloody mating surface of them, or just can't be arsed using 50p stickers to stop paint getting on to it...

Anyway, picking up a flap disk for the grinder on the way home as I don't have any, and will be clearing it all off this week
