what's going on ?

Post by jeffreyt » Wed May 09, 2018 7:31 pm

Just seen the news that the Z4 (07 to 12 ?) are part of the big recall that BMW have just announced.
I'm guessing whatever the problem is you Z4 gurus already know about it so could you please enlighten a potential newbie with some
engineering background on the 'problem'.
Before I splash my hard earned (pension ) on a Z4 circa 08 /09 it would be nice to have some factual inf about this recall.
Thanks

Jeff

While I'm not knowledgeable, wise or Z4 experienced, I understand it to be an electrical problem, the connector to the battery fails, the car stops, all electrics fail.

One new plug / connector later off you go.

Good spec, Only 2 pedals but other bits added to make up for that omission

I don't think it answers your question, but there has been a bit of discussion on here:- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=106023&p=1541162#p1541162
