New Z4 Coupe 3.0 Si Owner

[Racer_dude]

Hi everyone,
Newbie here.
Long time lurker on the forum finally made an account.
I bought my 56 plate Z4 Coupe SE in July 2020.
It's a well speced SE with cruise control, multifunction steering wheel, heated electric seats.
A few issues that need looking into if anyone has suggestions.

1. Sticky steering issue - will likely get someone to do this for me.
2. Rear parking sensors don't work - they've worked only on two occasions on a very hot summers day otherwise they don't to work.
3. Squeaky wiper motor??
4. No Aux input
5. Brake disc protector thingy needs changing makes rattling noises over speed humps.
6. Front bumper panel gap ? Needs adjustment
7. ? Change the wood trim to black or silver. Initially wasn't a fan of the wood trim but it's grown on me so not sure. Suit's the colour of the car.
Thanks people.

My sensors only work on hot days, too. Would be interested to know if anyone has solved this.

Hi and welcome to Coupe ownership.

My 2nd Coupe didn't hae the Aux input as it was an early build, but after I'h had it a while I discored soemone had fitted one in the glovebox!

You can buy a kit on the usual websites that will have the connector to fit the head unit.

I too have just bought a coupe and I’m working through a list of stuff to change/fix.
I bought an Aux cable off eBay for the stupidly cheap price of £3.26 delivered. Fitted on Friday and it works flawlessly. See pic for details.

Thanks for that I will try and fit it too. How difficult is it?

Proper easy. Remove vents above radio, unscrew radio and pull forward. Then if you don’t have Bluetooth simply connect the 12 pin plug and route the wire to where you want, drill hole and job done.
If you have Bluetooth like me it is slightly more
Involved but still easy.

There's around 10 hrs of my life I'll never get back trying to get the b**tards out!

For your parking sensors, get a can of wd40 with the straw extension and blast it into the ring on each sensor. Leave 24hrs and then try. It’s usually water ingress that upsets them.

Bumper panel gap - if you mean the gap where the side reflectors are it is because the clips are broken. There is no adjustment possible. The old clips have to be cut out.
