Assuming this is some sort of fluid replacement reminder for sept/2024... Where do I kill it?

Ever since we've hit freezing temps my motivator seems to be acting up. Until the heat in the garage is above 60F, I'm just not motivated to do much in there! I was sent an aluminium oil cap for a review and installed it. Fitment was solid with good threads and the filter cage was sturdier...

Robbi, These Stabilus struts are reasonable on Amazon -- so it makes sense to replace them while I'm in the mix. What is the special tool required and is it possible to fabricate it? Edit: I've discovered the tool.. 83302472914 €178.48 at Baum.. -- a bit hefty for a single use tool...

Tonight, when parking and closing up the top, the windowed shell moved forward for the boot to open, then kept stuttering, stopping when attempting to move the shell into the closed position over the boot. To me, it looked as if a trigger made the movement stop, and the shell would settle back...

How do I concentrate on work when this is waiting to be driven outside? Loving this weather!

Has anyone replaced the Joint Seals before? Part #11 These are looking split on the ends and deteriorating.

I've been following Edwin for a bit -- he's got the same model and color as I do. A good number of videos on the channel of his experience with his Z4 and advice. https://youtu.be/gNA3yDmK-Jk?feature=shared

On installing the CSF intercooler on my N54, I ran into an issue with the outlet connection to the factory charge pipe. I was having a heck of a time getting the FMIC and the pipe to join correctly, and one side of the retaining metal snapped off (not the external clip). Does anyone have an...

Anyone interested in a how-to on belts/spindles/tensioners?

The Mosselman oil therm is designed to keep your oil 20°C/68F cooler than the factory, using a real thermostat not an always-on solution. It can be used in warm or cold climates and doesn't decrease the speed of the oil to reach operating temps. I picked mine up locally for $373 USD +...

In an attempt to bring lights to a bright LED instead of the aged filament bulbs, I installed no-name Amazon 6500k lights. DS1 and H11, if I remember correctly... and replaced the indicator lamp with an LED as well. Taking color accurate pictures of headlight appears to be a talent that I...

So, your water pump failed? Can you fix this yourself? Yes... if you have the tools and the time. Everything is essentially accessible, and you will need more willpower and patience if this is your first time taking this on. The Z4 isn't my only car, so I could let it sit in pieces while I...

Has anyone added a custom accessory on/off switch to their zed to control custom-installed accessories like radar/camera/lighting? If so, where did you place the switch, and did you install something that fit the look and feel of the interior?

So.. waterpump failure. Overheated and stopped on the side of the road next to a miniature horse tied up to a tree. At least I had entertainment while I waited for the tow... Any reason to go to the full-metal Pierburg over the OEM VDO or even the Bavarian Autosport versions? Assuming that...

So... BMW 36-13-1-181-082 is the correct size of the steering wheel roundel, but not same finish. It's a bit more metallic, and not the glossy depth Does anyone know the correct part number for the right finish?

US Zeds get the seatbelt pre-tensioners standard. Ours give us a little hug as we speed off. Or to thank us for fixing the last thing that broke. UK Zed's have Dynamic Safety standard?

Seriously... I love the car, hate the problems... EGS [DKG_90] | 5A53: Transmission overheating: phase Red This popped up when reasonably accelerating from a stop after driving for about 25 minutes in 88F weather. So this sounds like DCT joy. Recommendations? Dealer only? what to...
