Z4

I have owned one for 7 months. Check automatic wipers been known to fail, new windscreen to fix this. Check the gears especially 1st and 2nd go in easily, I had a small problem with this and replaced the clutch plate which fixed this. See if the car has a wind deflector, makes a difference when driv...

Gears

Well they found the problem with the gears now, but said they think it may be the clutch plate. they checked the oil and everything fine there.

Unforunately it isn't under warranty. :bawl:

Gears

Well, car went into the garage and they checked evrything and can't find the problem. They have sent a query to technical BMW, they think it may be the clutch, but not sure.

Will keep you updated when the car goes back in.

Wheels

Personally I don't like that look, but everyone's taste is different. I get mixed opinions about the wheels on my Alpina but I think they look great as most people are going for five spoke wheels at the moment. Also colour of your car makes a big difference on the wheels that you select. Hope you ge...

Gearbox

I have had a small problem with putting the car into first and second gear when it is cold. I am going to book it in to BMW next week. If they fix the problem I will let you know.

Thanks, been told it is a faulty sensor and they have ordered a new one. All under the warranty. The BMW garage in the Isle of Man is really good and even cleaned my car before I picked it up.

Z4

I had a 330ci and a bit like you liked the car but never loved it. I looked at an Z4M and a 3.0 si. Then I accidently came across the Z4 Alpina Roadster S. This is just a little slower than the Z4M but not as hard on the road. The mpg is more in line with the 3.0 also as I get in average 27mpg and g...

Looks like a good buy. Lots of people are not wanting big engine cars as the don't understand the new road tax rules. I traded in a XKR recently and was gutted with the trade in value. I was told from the salesman that these car are hard to sell at the moment due to the large engines. Car sales have...

Z4

Yeah I must admit that living in the Isle of Man has a huge benefit when you drive a Z4 Alpina. The no speed limits on the mountain road is great and occassionally go out for a blast after work. Nice to know that your doing over a hundred and the police don't even blink. Had a look at you car and it...

Z4

I had a 2.0 Z3 a few years ago and loved it. In between I had a couple of other cars but always regret selling my Z3. I started last month looking for a Z3 M Roadster and when my local BMW garage gave me a Z4 2.5 for a day wasn't that keen as I had had a go in a mate's 2.0, but the 2.5 is so differe...

Z4

Yeah haven't really cleaned it yet but was jet washing the wheels yesterday as a few birds decided to relieve themselves above my car. Lots of little gaps in them will be a bugger to clean with the little brush wonder wheels supply with there bottle.

Also that new ICE polish is meant to be very good. Although I have always used autoglm products and wonder wheels for the alloys.

Alpina Roadster

Well I am now the proud new owner of the Alpina Roadster. Thanks for your help as I I got 12 months road tax and checked the wheels. I did read the hand book and noticed that you need to check the oil manually so this will be my monthly check as I only do about 5,000 miles a year. Also got a twelve ...
