Hi, i know its an old thread but though i would add to it. I have a sticky door handle on my Z4, i can easily find the cable on Ebay for about £8 and priced it from BMW Edinburgh and its about £16. Thought that wasnt too bad a price so asked them to include fitting.... £164.23. That took me by...

Fitted a couple of aux and usb sockets in the access panel under the heater controls for charging phones or playing music from usb.

That’s all good to hear, had a few issues mostly diesels mind you where they smoked and wound up having to either change turbos or inlet manifolds which aren’t cheap. Apparently there’s a chap locally to me who does a full engine flush and is a specialist on BMW,s and was told he charges...

I had thought of it but limited with indoor space to do the job. Like I said I do have a mechanic mate and I do like to tinker with things so that may be an option if I can enlist his help. Looked at videos online and it does look doable. Seen the kit for about £45.

Got the car back and brakes Are sort of sorted, will need a new backplate eventually and he noticed one of my springs are on the way out. Anyway that’s off the topic. I though about being a bit proactive about the smoke and price the ccv repair. BMW Edinburgh are charging £361 and a couple of...

My mechanic mate has had the car for a few days now just sorting a rubbing on the brakes, he was going to use a diagnostic on it but as there are no warning lights could be a waste of time. Was going to get the car back and try an cleaning additive and see how that goes but with your advice it...

The smoke wasn’t black or white. Would say blue ish

Hi all. Had a look in the forum about smoke coming from the rear but will tell you what has happened. I always fill the car up with super unleaded but the wife borrowed the car for a week and ran till nearly empty. Naturally she did what she does with her megane and filled to the brim with...

Hi. Great looking motor. Hopefully being in West Lothian we might catch up on a run.

I always got a flash or a wave in my TF’s of my Mx5 and always thought I was nice how the community was like that. Since owning my z4 I have seen 2 others and both have returned the wave. Long may it continue

Here’s a pic taken 2 mins ago. Like I said not the best job and ideally I would like some kind of proper surround so any help pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated. :)

Previous owner fitted a double din, great stereo with Apple play, usb’s And an hdmi our in the glovebox but had to make a custom surround. Doesn’t look perfect but good enough. I think the shadow in the pic makes it look worse than it is. Kinda looks off centre but it’s not.

Thanks, love the boot spoiler... nice touch :D

Hi all, got myself my first ever Z4 and my first BMW. Had it a week and just love the look of it. Always had convertibles like Mx5’s, MGF/TF’s and MR2’s as nothing beats the feeling of drop top driving. Out of all the motors the Z4 by far gets the most looks. Got the car for £3400 with a few...
