The other day I started off and at about 10mph in my auto 2004 Z4 having selected Drive. The car started to jump/jerk with the engine revs going up and down. The DSC light was on. I selected reverse and 'hopped' backwards back down the road and onto my drive.....car still hopping. I switch...
Thanks for the response. The two hook/lever things are nice and loose but I will have a look in more detail at the weekend. Where are the drive shafts you refer to, and where is the motor?
We have a 2005 convertibe. A few months ago the roof started to open with a 'snatch' on releasing. Now it won't open without a helping hand. You can hear it trying to open, but won't release until you give the underside of the header rail a thump with your hand....then it opens! By header...
I had this problem on an 05 3 litre auto. Fault codes reported a fault with the switch on the side of the gearbox that logs the position of the selector lever. You don't have to have the fault light showing to read fault codes. A new switch and no problems for six months.
The switch is fixed...
I found a nice car. Black with red seats. 18" wheels......2005.......39k miles. A little over my £6k budget but worth it......I hope!
Thanks all for your help...

By low mileage I was thinking of 70/80k. My highest mileage considered would be about 120k but I agree a well looked after car is what I am after. I presume a well looked after engine should do over 200k.
........still looking........no hurry......we would like to get a car by the spring.

Hi...... I am after an approx 04 car with leather interior and original 18" wheels. Black or red leather. Silver or black paint but will consider other combinations. Must be good/original car for £4k to £6k. Low mileage.
Anything out there....... I am in north Cheshire
