Hi Guys,

Hope you can help!

I have recently just bought the Z4 3.0l and am very pleased with it, However i want to connect my i pod to the radio. I have tried an FM transmit but its just to grainy to be a long term option. I have been told that there is an aux cable that can be fitted but because i have a CD changer i im not sure if this is the case. is there any way i can hard wire my i pod to a business radio without disconnecting the CD changer?

Thanks

Yep, I have done it to my Sept 04 model
See the Aux DIY thread in the "How To" section, a long read but you will see the answers to all your questions.
Took me 30 mins to fit and i still have my CD changer too

Hi,

I am keen to know how to fit the Aero rear spoiler and Apron. Any ideas would be welcome along with any photos of how it looks.

Spank you very much.
 
Hi guys,

Sorry if its on here but I havent been able to see it but is it possible to reset just the mpg monitor? I have just picked the car up and want to see what I can realistically expect.

Thanks
 
Scroll through the options until MPG is showing then press and hold the button for a few seconds until it resets.
 
How to remove interior overhead lights?

It seems that there are bugs stuck in the clear housing, I want to remove it, but somehow its not as easy to pry using a flat screw.

How do you remove it?
 
How do you remove the mesh covers over the large speakers behind the seats (Carver set up)? I think they are the source of a few rattles and I want to refit them.

This pic shows the clips (No 17) and how it goes together if that's any use http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BU52&mospid=49303&btnr=51_4916&hg=51&fg=50
 
It's sorted!!! The dealer (not stealer in this case - they did it under warranty) rebuilt all the back trim using felt tape and the rattles and creaks have gone. The only one I am left with is a bit of a clicking sound only when the roof is down. Since the catch holding the roof down was also replaced, I can only assume that this is OK and the clicking noise is here to stay. To be honest, now that the creaks and rattles are gone, it's a different car and I can live with the clicking sound ..... just have to increase the engine noise to cover it!
 
I own a 03 roadster. I read in another forum of the GALA function in Z4 radio, which allow us to set the automatic high volume at high speed. Does anybody know about this function and how do we set it?

Thanks!
 
I just purchased CF front/rear emblems and can't figure out how to gain access to the one on the trunk/boot. What's the trick??
 
How are people putting some distance between the garage floor and the bottom of their vehicle ? (Aside from single or double post hydraulic lifts or other ways that are on the high side a $ 3-10k).

Ramps ?

I haven't tried, but I know that some of my jacks will not fit under there - or only would if the car were lifted some. (e.g. bottle jacks).

Then there are jack stands ...

As it sits there right now, I don't even know if my creeper would slide under it - without anyone on it, I mean.

Thanks for your profound wisdom and guidance.

I dont know about the silver panels but I had the door cards off 2 weeks ago. There are the following screws to remove:

Behind the airbag logo
Behind the plastic circle on the inner door opener
2x underneath the silver door handle

Unfortunately once you have removed those then it is a bit of a brute force effort to pull it apart. It is just held on by clips so it does come off eventually.

The door unlock mechanism will fall down when you have the door off, but it's easy to put back in place before the door goes back on.
