Hi Tom
I too live in Loughborough and whittled away for a few weeks about where to take my 2003 3.0.
After much deliberation, I decided on BMWMAN in Heanor
Good choice as far as I am concerned- top service, remedial repairs and good advice from knowledgeable BMW mechanics without charging the earth.
It's about 20/25 mins from Lufbra up the A50

Welcome aboard Tom and congratulations on your new car.
Though some are advising a garage, I'm assuming you just want an enthusiast to put your mind at rest and make sure there's nothing serious lurking under there?
In that case, getting to a meet up is the best and cheapest option, as you'll get honest opinions, without anyone touting for work.
Hopefully someone nearby with code reader will pick up on this thread and help you out.
HQ of 'Norfolk Zed Rescue'.
Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

I figured I need a few more posts to send PM to Carly owners but gonna end up buying it myself, for £150 you get full diagnostics which I think is excellent :D

Maybe late in the day but Bimmergeeks Protool is a far far better tool for E89s compared to Carly…it’s an android only app..being an iPhone person I just bought a cheap Chinese android phone to use it :thumbsdown:

Carly is paid subscription, so £60 for an OBD and £50 pa for a license.

Getting mixed opinion on Carly as it's too simple for some people, but ISTA is not yet available for E89 as far as I can understand.
