Z4 Hood Motor

Post by Gloucester » Fri Jul 30, 2021 9:08 pm

I have an older Z4 2.5 which has been off the road for quite a while & the hood will not retract (latches work) I know there was a chap who specialised in relocating the motors when they get damaged (Bowser 134?) Anyone know if he is still doing them + contact details if he is? Failing that is there anyone else who does the same job?
I’m Hampshire based.

You could try Number 5 - Alan lives in Bristol so a little closer than Ross.

Three posts and you can PM him
