Hi There new proud owner of a 2008 midnight blue z4m coupe(at least I think thats the colour) Only had the car 3 weeks. Sorry not sure how to add photos yet.

I live in oakham rutland but these cars are like so rare I have only seen one in nearly 2 years

Love the car but even after 3 weeks still not used to the clutch and jerking :oops: Im sure its not me though.

Mods - Lower on H and R springs
Inspiri 19 wheels or replica csls - cant decide. Anybody want to swap ?

cheers
 
Welcome Sid..


Remove the clutch delay valve and change the oil to Amsoil manual syncromesh oil..


Problem solved..
 
Ha ha oops forgive me ive just finished work. :oops: Ive heard about that does it really work??! I must sort this out as i look a total idiot especially at roundabouts. Not to mention when i forget i've left the sport button on!

Cheers for the advice :thumbsup:

Try moving your seat around. I know it sounds stupid but I took me ages to realise I was sitting too far back, and I think ever so slightly stretching for the clutch, although I didn't feel like I was.

Get yourself a bit closer than you think you need to be and see if it helps. Made a massive difference to me anyway.
 
That's a fairly exclusive club (Midnight Blue Z4MC). There's only 17 of us in the UK. I'm not that far away from you in Nottinghamshire.

Welcome to the forum :thumbsup:

Oh and don't worry about the kangarooing. We all did that when we first got the car. You'll soon get used to it!
 
Hi Mate, had a good look at your car the other night. Very pretty.
You must have slithered into the nelson for a pint?

I currently live in Barleythorpe, have a silver / grey Z4MC, used to have a Ruby Black Z4MC.

Good mate who lives in Oakham has the v low millage sepange bronze Z4MC.

They are getting common rond here now! haha
 
CDV is something you will get used to just give it a while before you get drastic and remove anything, just be easy on the clutch and squeeze it out :thumbsup:

We used to get this from gannet how he could drive round it and it wasn't a problem. Then eventually he removed his CDV, and even he was amazed.
