Im convinced its the car battery. It's the original 2011 bmw exide 70ah unit. I have it on a battery conditioner for now and will change it when the car comes off SORN in March/ April

Hi - Welcome to the forum. I have just recently bought my first Z4 and joined the forum. I have posted a few questions and can confirm this is a great source of knowledge on these cars and everyone has been super helpful. I also had a couple of MX5s. Great wee cars - I had a mint Mk1 1990...

Thanks for your thoughts everyone - to conclude this thread - I have opted for Silver and they look great on the White car! Delighted with the result

Lovely car Lovely car - really suits the wheel colour too!

Thanks Chippie. So it looks like 11 / 17 or 17/11. It's a 2011 car but i doubt it would have the original battery! If its 11 / 17 then a 2017 battery , now over 8 years old, suggests a new one would be a good investment. That said, when I checked the voltage it shows over 14 volts when I rev...

I see a lot of discussions on here re the importance of a good battery and potential electrical issues. That started me looking at my 2011 23i and checking stuff. My car starts, runs and everything works perfectly with no dashboard lights on. However I did notice that the roof would not go down...

So, thanks for all your thoughts, suggestions and opinions on the best wheel colour for my Z. After much thought and consideration I decided to go bright silver. Delighted with the result, the car looking so much better. Also well impressed with EK Blast and Powder coating who did a fantastic...

Thanks for the heads up. I have done a sort of repair job using duct tape on the inside of the obd port which holds the door in place pretty adequately.

Folks - I am not sire what the correct name for the parts I am selling should be. I just bought an E89 2011 2.5L which the previous owner had professionally added the Cruise Control stalk/unit. TSo the car has come to me with a virtually unmarked lower cowling and the Indicator/Lights stalks...

Hi - great to hear there are a few other Z4 enthusiasts north of the border. I am getting the wheels refurbed on Monday as well as the back bumper resprayed to take care of a very minor parking indiscretion by a previous owner. Just had a chap round to quote for machine polish and ceramic...

Folks, many thanks for your help and advice. The search has now concluded with me finding a near pristine 2011, 23i with 68000 miles. It has a full service history, long mot, sat nav with mr12volt so android auto is in there, cruise, heated seats and it's white with Coral Red leather. Only thing...

These are great looking alloys and silver shows them off much better than black

Thanks, the grill is black, door pillar is black, head rest back is silver.... Ill have a chat with them tomorrow

Thanks Mr Tidy. One of the wheels got cracked 10 years ago, it was an mot fail. The last owner was unaware so they didn't know if the wheel was repaired or replaced. The tyres are in very good condition so if I sold the wheels I'd need to get new tyres to go with the smaller wheels. Could be an...
