Z4 2.5i 2006 What price to sell?

I think only BMW ever used those in analogue form. Very weird idea, especially as BMW always marketed themselves as 'the ultimate driving machine' which would lend itself to being performance orientated??

Pure unnecessary gimmick shite

They all do now, though. It's a 'thing' in the computer to make you feel like you're saving the polar bears.

Same as all modern cars have the thing where it tells you to change up a gear (on a manual) when you get to about 1,200rpm. I fecking hate that!

I told my wife there was no dipstick in her 225e.
She said there was, but only when I was driving it.

That’s the wife, leave her at home.

Same goes for tyre pressure warning lights which work from a battery in tyre on my BMW. They are sensitive and prone to failure so I keep getting low pressure warnings. I am told it was due to lazy americans who never check anything on their cars and low tyre pressure has been cited as cause on a lot of accidents in USA.

Not just the yanks. My wife doesn't know that you can open the bonnet on a car. It wouldn't help as she has no idea (or interest) in all the 'stuff' under there anyway.

If any warning light or 'bong' happens, she is just the messenger between the car and me.

Oh careful, any women reading this will be after you. What's a bonnet anyway, is it a type of hat.

I wish!

I loved the "change gear" thing on my Yeti. I like having something to rebel against.

My Audi had a slot for dipstick but no dipstick. £30 later and I'm living like it's 2004 again. Haven't actually checked it since though...

Next week I will be coding out the TPMS on my Mini.

Bring back the good old days.

Looking to purchase a replacement oil level sensor now, anyone have any good suggestions? The last one clearly wasn’t fit for purpose.

Your car is controlling you, you will obey it's every command.
