Hi - I’m a newbie

Post by Leigh Bee » Wed Sep 06, 2023 8:35 am

Just drove my new-to-me Z4 E85 2.0i sport 2008 66K from Aberdeen to Salisbury and love her!
She’s got M stripes on steering wheel (is she an M?)
Looking to find a good dealer for a major service so I know she’s set up right. Just trying to remove some green algae marks from base of hood, going to try Milton (since I’m a neonatal nurse, seems appropriate 😊)

M for M-Sport (you get the M-Sport seats, lowered suspension and some interior trim “upgrades”), but not M as in Z4M which is a fire breathing 3.2l beast.
