First question from a newbe

[dellboy]

Hi there, just bought a 2003 2.5 z4 smg with 35,000 miles. My first question (of I am sure there will be many) do they have a timing belt and if so when does it need changed.
Second question is what is the best grade of oil for them UK driving.
Thanks
Ray

Oh happy days, I should have been driving one of these years ago, cheaper insurance, no timing belt worries, longer service intervals, more MPG. Just got it today and it has not cooled. Just love it
Thanks everyone
