New z4 owner

Hello.

I've been looking around the forum for a couple of months now, before biting the bullet on a 2006 3.0 si roadster (thanks for the buyers advice).

Very pleased with the z4, which is great fun on the Yorkshire lanes and have a couple of plans, I'll be looking for advice on completing in the not too distant future (I'll get a picture up when I work out how). BUT I seem to have a problem... :cry:

When accelerating through the 1,500 rpm range in a higher gear, the engine has a small stutter. I'm hoping it's nothing major, but any advice would be greatly appreciated?

Forgot to add, the cars done 105k.

Thanks,
Martin
 
Nice one Martin , i love to see folks getting into high mile Bmw's , if maintained well at 105k there's a lifetime of pleasure left in it
You can also get into the "us & our Zs" post with that mate :thumbsup:
 
Hi & welcome
re stutter my son had a similar issue on a Pug 206 (I know a million miles away :D )
However we tried new plugs and a coil pack - no change
We plugged code reader on it and cleared them (nothing specific came up if I remember correctly) - hey presto, stutter gone never to return
A long shot I know but maybe worth a try
 
Hi and welcome.

Proof yet again that black roadster newbies always post pics withtheir first post. Nice car!

Enjoy :driving:
 
Thanks, the picture was the only one I had.. not intentional. Although high mileage it's been well looked after with a full BMWSH, the last owner only had it 18 months but covered 40k (mainly motorway) in it!

I'll take it to get plugged into a diagnostic when I get chance and see what gets thrown up, its only a very minor stutter when pulling away at low revs in a high gear, but don't want it getting worse if its a failing part. Having a google there's a few causes I've read about including carbon build up or faulty injector. I'll try running it on super unleaded too see if that helps too.

I had an mx5 a few years back I did a couple of track days in each year (pic below). I wouldn't mind using the Z4 a couple of times a year on the track too, does much need changing other than the usual gearbox oil, diff oil, brake fluid and pads? Any recommendations for pads?

Typical of non-black roadster owners not to say what colour their car is and then to post pics which look black! :poke:

Looks nice anyway, but now you have to post better pics! :D
