Tesco Momentum 99 across all our cars.

The only Z4 that has ever caught our eye, is the Z4 Coupé because of its striking looks. We consider it to be a proper future classic. I don't think the E89 is nearly so special, and of course has the extra weight and complexity of the folding roof. However this is a totally personal thing...

Came back to say that I only just today got a chance to look at it. The replies above were hugely helpful, thankyou. I got it done in about 15 minutes and the warning light has gone out too. To summarise, if anyone else comes to this topic - Turn the wheels in the direction of the side you...

I've got a similar "oria" one from Amazon and it's worked well for me. Simple, cheap and just works.

Thankyou. I'll have a go at just changing the bulb like you did.

Our car has the xenons, with the angel eye sidelights.

I would personally consider a 10-12 year old battery to be very, very old, no matter how well it's been cared for.

Hi, A bit confused, despite reading various topics on here. Got a bulb out warning yesterday for the first time in 6 years of owning the car, and upon running some tests, the passenger side sidelight doesn't come on, but the indicator on that side comes on instead. so I'm assuming the...

I can't find this elsewhere on the forum, so maybe its not been posted before. BMW Blog - BMW Z4 (E86) 3.0Si Coupe – Buyer’s Guide

Great article. When we got our Z4, we bought it from a chap in Luton. We flew down from Glasgow to get it. I was worried about the MPG from a 3.0 on the long drive home. I needn't have worried, we quite quickly saw it rise above 40mpg on the steady run up the A1, I couldn't believe it. I...

No I'm not OK doing anything beyond fairly simple stuff on the car myself, however I do take an interest and want to understand what's going on. It might be that using a local BMW specialist to do everything for us isn't really affordable, which would be an end to z4 ownership probably. From...

So to update the saga... Car is in at a good, recommended BMW specialist, who has agreed with my diagnosis from the C110 that the steering angle sensor needs replaced. As part of the work to do that, they needed to remove the allegedly new clockspring (from the previous specialist in July)...

Plus auction fees I guess. And I think it needs the front nose cone redone based on my inspection. A bargain, but it's definitely an acquired taste that colour! Looked amazing under the floodlights.

We feel like our Z4 feels quite timeless. It doesn't seem to have aged much, except for the antique museum quality navigation screen that rises up from the fascia! It's really letting the side down now. I'm guessing it would cost a fortune to get someone to swap the entire fascia for one...
