Some fun with a new 3D printer at work! 3D printed washer jet cover and sump cover

First weekend on the Z4 in a while, took it to Colins garage (Zedshed Cymru) on Sunday 08/03/26 for some basic maintenance and a look under. An initial scan revealed the following codes: 0C - LEW (Steering Angle Sensor) LWS CAN-Bus Communication Fault 3D - ZKE (Central Body Electronic) GM...

if these dont go let me know!

slek designs is out of business as far as I know 😔
