Hi guys,
The service history for my Z4 is a little patchy to say the least, so I’m looking to give it a decent service. Looking at Engine Oil & filter, gbox oil etc. is there anything model specific I should look out for or anything you’d recommend checking whilst I’m at it? It’s covered 86k miles.
Cheers :thumbsup:
 
Hey mate, you didn't say what year/model you have, but let me give you an example, I have 2003. 2.5 (M54B26) model with now 212.000 km. On 210.000 km I did somewhat you can call a preventive service that included:
- All the belts (A/C, and others) with tensioners
- Spark plugs (NGK 6343)
- Radiator hoses (05-2807 & 05-3273)
- oil pan seal (Febi Bilstein 12318)
- valve cover seal (ELR 318600)
- expansion tank (Febi Bilstein 33550)

And of course, all the fluids (coolant, engine, breaks, gearbox). For the oil I chose - Castrol Edge M LL04 5W-30
 
Diff fluid would be worthwhile adding to the above list as well as a disa valve upgrade kit, new vanos seals. New brake pipes/hoses from mtec.
 
It's a E85 2.5 with those lovely wheels as I recall. Great info above regards service items. :thumbsup:
