Hi, all.

Z4 virgin here. Bought it to meet the demands of a bucket list.

Purchased but pick it up next weekend. My questions are, is there anything I should be watching out for or do you guys have any recommendations?

Listed as BMW Z4 23i sDrive 2dr Auto

Any guidance appreciated
 
Welcome aboard. If your new Zed has run flat tyres, watch out for a set of none run flats and replace them. :thumbsup:

I did wonder about those, and ashamedly, I did look for a spare!
Steel wheels available or alternative make? Whats the PCD?
 
Hi and welcome OP. :thumbsup:

Lovely looking Z4 - white seems quite popular on the E89s.

Most people who switch to non-runflats usually carry Tyreweld or similar and a compressor! AA/RAC membership as Plan B. :)
 
Welcome to the forum. The one problem with a spare is it takes up the limited boot space (especially in the E89) in these cars. Tyre weld, gloop and a plug in compressor seem to work. Unless you shred the tyre.
 
I've seen spare space saver wheel kits for e89's with jack etc, still takes up space though. Euro car parts have them don't know how effective; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RoadHero-RH-R004D-Space-Saver-Wheel-Kit-Spare-Tyre-Jack-Brace-Fits-BMW-Z4-09-On/352011707229?hash=item51f588635d:g:AEcAAOSw32lY0l1R

And then you have to try and store your punctured wheel in the limited space.
 
OK.. Don't have the car yet. Anyone able to measure the physical height with and without roof down to give me an idea? Pick the car up Saturday and woukd like to be prepared.
 
I've got a 17" spacesaver from an E46 with jack and wheel-brace for when I do ditch the runflats, but you still need to have somewhere to put the full-size wheel you take off! :(
