The physical casting code (the base engine): If you look at the engine block of a European Z4 sDrive20i, you’ll see “B48B20B” stamped into the metal. That is exactly the same physical engine (including the pistons and cylinder head with the lower 10.2:1 compression ratio) as the 30i. In its...

I have the S3M2 M SPORT BRAKE, RED HIGH-GLOSS on my 30i. Seems in 2022 BMW chaged the codes for the M Sport Brake S2NH was the code for the blue M Sport Brake, since 2022 they are now S3M1 (blue) S3M2 (red) and S3M3 (black). If I'm correct the M Sport Brakes are the same for the Z4 20i and 30i...

Seems you are right about the engine that the sDrive20i and 30i share the same B48B20B engine for the g29. I thought the 20i had the B48B20A variant.

I do have a Saris Bones 3 (for 3 bikes, Bones 2 was for 2 bikes), I used it a couple of times on my previous e89. White it is build for 3 bikes, I think I could only fit 1 bike (MTB) at the end of the support. Otherwise the bike came to close to the car. No matter how tight you pull the straps...

Neither. As an amateur photographer, I haven’t had time yet to to take nor to find a nice location to take pictures of my new Z4. URBEX photography is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my hobby. The only photos I have right now are these from the dealership. On a whim, I had Gemini (Google’s...

While both models use the modular 2.0-liter four-cylinder B48 engine, there are crucial mechanical and hardware differences between the two versions. The power difference is more than just a software restriction. Engine and Mechanical Differences Compression Ratio: The pistons have a different...

I bought a Kuda Phone Mount 3605 and I glued a wireless magnetic charger on it. Not sure if these exist for RHD.

Android Auto outputs music as uncompressed 16-bit / 44.1 kHz (CD-quality) LPCM audio over USB cable or direct Wi-Fi projection. I just swapped from an e89 with the base audio system to the g29 with the S676 HiFi speaker system, same source but the sound in the g29 is just awful. I guess poor EQ...

I think the question is what do you want to do with the dongle. Besides BimmerCode you also have Bimmerlink. I have both, and use BimmerLink on the road for example to set the exhaust flap all the time open. In that situation an ENET cable is a no go. And since I'm using Android Auto, my phone...

I have bought the following for my Frozen Grey GYEON Q²M Foam for the prewash DODO JUICE - Born To Be Mild for the handwash Gyeon Q²M Cure Matte for the care and protection to apply every +/-6 weeks after washing. And I have the 500ml Dodo Juice Dullicious QD in the car together with a GYEON...

You have 2 options, you can by a wifi or Bluetooth dongle, which I did when I had my e89. Today I received the Autel ENET cable. I use a USB C docking with ethernet port, so I can connect the ENET cable on my Android phone (then just activate Ethernet tethering). A drawback of the Bluetooth...

Hello everybody, I'm Paul, and I have been driving a Z4 sDrive18i (e89) since July 2019, until 3 weeks ago. After 7 years without any issues I swapped the car for the Frozen Grey II and anthracite top sDrive30i Z4 g29 with M-Sport package Professional with 20" glossy black rims. In most...
