    BMW Specialist West Midlands Area

    Hi, Just been reading your comments. A while ago now I know. I also live in Worcester and have booked into Torque to get the hood motor fixed. Since then, I have found BMW tech who can do a great job quickly at a very good price, but an hour and a half drive away. Any advice welcome. Cheers Roch

    Hood no longer operating

    Hi Alan, Thanks for the quick response. Is it possible for you to give me a rough idea of the cost and how long a replacement or repair would take? Regards Wendy

    Hood no longer operating

    Hi, some advice on what sounds like a big expensive job please. The hood motor has stopped working and I've been told that the motor is burned out. I live near Worcester and wondered if anyone could recommend an outfit/person, who can sort it out. Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks if...

    engine light on....first time taking car out

    Our 2.0 2005, shows the engine management light. Had it checked and was told it was the particle filter in the exhaust. Warning lights on this car are a regular occurrence, but none have none have been about anything serious. Now the seat belt light is on, even though the seat belts are secured...

    Headlights

    The bulbs were replaced eventually and it's made quite a difference. Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. Thanks for the advice from members.

    Drivers door not operating from outside

    Managed to get this fixed at my local garage. There doesn't appear to be a cable. The mechanic said that the metal links had become bent, so we're not achieving enough reach. These were straightened and now it all works..... A bit bizarre.

    Drivers door not operating from outside

    Hi, I entered a question on the Newbie section, so not sure whether it has been read here? The driver's door will not open. The handle feels normal, but the door feels locked. It began with just sticking and having to resort to pulling on the left hand side of the handle. It stuck but...

    Sticking drivers door

    The driver's door is sticking on my wife's Z4 2.0 convertible 2005. It's been getting worse over the last few weeks. Anyone know if there is an adjustment that can be made to align the door to the door post catch please? It now refuses to open from the outside at all. Opens from the inside...

    Headlights

    My wife's Z4 2.0 2005 has terrible lights especially on dip. Drove it back from Hereford tonight and it was like 2 candles on dip, which was most of the journey. How can these be vastly improved please?

    engine light on....first time taking car out

    I have a 55 2.0lt and had this problem just after purchasing. It turned out to be a cracked exhaust manifold. The only other sign was a slight, very slight blowing noise on idle from the engine. Had it fixed a the local garage with a weld. Has been fine for the last year. I picked this...

    Squeaky Window

    We had this having just bought the car. Everytime the roof lowered and rose the passenger window would not shut completely. It also made a horrendous grinding squeaking noise. Like something was about to snap or break. Took it to an independent and they removed the door card. They then...

    Buying a Z4 - looking for advice!

    My wife bought her 2005 2.0i convertible with 37k, full service history for £6,800. We have had to spend another 600 to get a couple of issues sorted. If you are looking at all models and you do end up with the 2.0i, thoroughly check the manifold and make certain there are no cracks. Apparently...
