I have done a search on here but I can't find what I am after.
I am buying a Z4 Coupe tomorrow. I haven't got the CD changer but it should have the preperation for one.
I'm trading in a John Cooper Works MINI for the Z4 and I want to fit the CD changer from that to the Z4. They are the same CD units as the part numbers are the same on Real OEM.com!
Does anyone know if the changer cradle is fitted as part of the prep? If not is it easy to fit?
Thanks.

Once you get the wheels off, you will find that the breaks are a great design. Easy pad replacement.

Ben,
The only gotcha would be watch that you don't snap your 'brake wear indicator wires'. They are designed to wear through and ground out and light the brake light. If yours are in good shape, just reuse them.
Mine were on the left front and right rear...
If you have to replace them, I have seen them on the web for about $15.00 each. Not sure what the stealer charges.....

The proper pads for the BMW are designed to have the wear sensors inserted into them...
If they don't have that channel, then they are not designed for the car. It will become clear when you take the pads out. Oh padwan...

Can anyone assist with the best power source to hard wire a speed camera detector on a Z4MC. I'm mounting it above thedash tray in the dash, a switched ignition source anywhere under the dash will do.
UPDATE
Solution found elsewhere, I'll post up the way I went about it.

Hopefully someone can give me a few pointers here.
My daughter's 2004 Z4 is in the shop with no A\C ( It's about 110* here in Phoenix today, so obviously this is a significant issue). It blows hot air only, and the dealership tells me the problem is a broken blend door mechanism- specifically the gears in what they are calling the "airbox". Further, this is not covered under the extended warranty(?!), and the estimate is over $2000.
The majority of the cost is the labor- the blend door is buried behind the dash, so they're quoting about 8 hours labor to remove the dash. My Grand Cherokee is notorious for having this problem, and a simple alternative is to cut out the back of the glove box and you can get right to the thing.
So- my question is- anybody know of a simpler approach to the air box. Alternatively, any suggestions before I start tearing into the dash?
Thanks!

Just pry them off with a screwdriver. Carefully.
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
