Hello, just paid the deposit on a Z4.

Here an photo from today. But it has started with some warnings, I had the combo brake, tire, and stability control warning lights on for some time. Connected a cheap OBD2 to check and the lights disappeared, no codes on the scanner.

But now eventually the alarm is triggering, don't know if it is too sensitive to the traffic or an issue

Welcome to the world of Z4 gremlins part of the ownership experience.. The cars are so robust but a bit of diva if something not right..
 
If it has been sitting on a forecourt for a while not being driven much it's possible the battery wasn't holding much charge.

I've had random warning lights appear a few times on Z4s (and 3 Series) when the batteries were pretty depleted. Hopefully now you are using it the warning lights won't reappear, but if they do it might be worth checking the battery health.

If the alarm is going off for no apparent reason it's quite often due to the sensor for the bonnet being defective, which you can either disconnect or replace.

Enjoy the Z4 smile. :thumbsup:

Or stick some heavy duty gaffer tape over.
