Local dealer expects the demo car to arrive then and may be able to sneak it out, also agrees they are gunning for the SLK audience with this new model with improved build quality. Will be good to see how it is in the metal so to speak, anyone else going to the open weekend's 9th/10th?

Hiya, my Z4 with 3.0 M54 engine is approaching 38k and needs an oil change shortly. I have been topping up with Castrol Edge 0w-30 but have no idea what was in there previously - assume whatever the main dealer used at Sytner - Harold Wood. Now I've found a great deal on mobil 1 0w-40 (11...

Hi, Have any of you guys used one of these widgets before which suck the oil out of sump via the dipstick hole. Was thinking of getting on to do a oil change on the z4 m54 3.0. I know its not as ideal as removing the sump plug but my next main dealer service is not for another 3k miles and...

Following on from my windscreen thread, my wiper blades are in need of renewal. I think I have bosche oem originals fitted with a spoiler on the drivers side only. Are these the best ones and does anybody know the correct size? is the left hand (passenger on a uk car) a curved blade? I...

:headbang: Ah the UK roads and their many rogue stones have claimed another Z4 windscreen this morning :cry: Bleedin van kicked up something and put a 1cm bullet hole right in front of the drivers view - didn't even see the thing coming but made one hell of a noise ow! :( Autoglass...

Hi fellow zedders. Now its getting dark of an evening I've noticed that the sidelights in the headlamp assembly look like yellow candles compared to the HID's has anyone changed these bulbs to something producing a cooler whiter light? I'm not sure if it uses W5W bulbs as indicated on...

As of last night I now have a new noise, when switching the ignition on instead of getting the whirr as the fuel pump primes I now have a BRRRRRRRRR thats quite noticeable (sounds like its vibrating). Performance seems the same and the pump is no louder with the engine running - its normal...

Hi, Just reaching out and seeing what experiences and deals you may have been able to get with UK insurers. I'm currently with elephant which gives complementary european cover and my father is on my policy as a named driver. I'm 26 as of a few weeks ago and on renewal in a month or so I...

Well after the calamity as describe in my other recent thread concerning another Essex based dealer I thought I would make some price enquiries at my more local dealer on the way home from getting my tyre valve replaced... correctly 8) I was promptly seen by the service manager (Mr Lucklin?)...

http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4729 Nuff said... still seething... :headbang: It certainly seems that in life you do not always get what you pay for, gold plated prices but where is the gold plated service. Heck even nissan used to call me to let me know how things were...

This may end up being a rant.... appologies in advance. :fuelfire: My Z4 was booked in for its MOT today and also (on my understanding after calling the service department several times) for the DME engine management software to be upgraded to hopefully cure my surging under light throttle...

Well not exactly exploded but I went over a speed bump today and the glass fell out of the driver side mirror and was hanging from the heater element wires :( Great build quality on these cars.... :thumbsdown: :headbang: The glass has four locating pins which attach it to the motor bracket...

Any of the local Z4 contingent planning on meeting up now it is the new year? :driving: Would be good to meet some of you 8)

I'm doing something similar with my previous car club (SXOC - 200sx owners club) and the though just crossed my mind. Was wondering if the UK z4 contingent had any plans for an xmas get together and some grub :) We are probably all over the country and a bit sparse for individual regional...

Is it just me or is the clock on the forum 1 hour fast?

I have got an annoying rattle that appears to come from the passenger side (Left hand side) A pillar trim when going over bumps, does anyone else have similar or know a cure? The drivers side is quiet as a mouse!

Hi guys (& girls) 8) One thing I would like to do is upgrade my navigation mapping, at present it has a CD in the drive (not DVD?) covering UK and most of europe however it is not the most detailled and somewhat out of date with my local roads - let alone the depths of swizerland! Does...

Hi, As much as it pains me to ask this stupidly simple question, can anyone describe how to correctly check the oil level on the older 3.0 engine. The picture in the manual doesn't show the same type of dipstick. Mine has what could best be described as two small notches cut out of it ~ 1cm...
