Hi all
I got my z4 last November its my daily drive
but the engine bay is so clean!
It does only have 50 thou on it but still 14 years old
Cleaner than my wife's Peugeot 2008 that's only 3 years old!
It was as clean as this when I got it and yes I have kept it clean!
What's everybody's else's like???
are they all that good???
interest to here.
Cheers
Si

Looking good! 8) Mine gets a detail once or twice a year, it’s easier to spot problems if everything’s nice and clean. The dressing is good for the hoses etc too so worth the effort IMO
