Ok, I detest my RFT's and want to change out of them for conventional tyres asap. The info I am after is - 1. How did the handling change when going to either Goodyear or Michelin tyres. Well the handling is much better, doesnt crash over bumps and is no longer as skittish, the tramlining is also g...

Hi There, im sure you will get a number of comments. I have a 3.0ltr Z4, had it for 18 months now. I previouosly had a 2.0ltr Z3 The Z4 handles so much better, is easier to drive too. from a speed perspective there is a huge difference of course coming from 2.0 ltr to 3.0ltr. My Z4 is reliable, has ...

To come back to the question: Go definately for a 2004 rather then 2003, as the 2003 had some quality issues (like falling off petrol caps). The later 2004 (april on) had the MP3 feature on the cd player and also brake force display. You will find that the 3.0 Z4 will give you 99% of the performanc...

I've never had a warrant in my life, the warranty holdings ones aren't worth a toss, only the manufacturers ones are worth having. I figure for what you pay for them you'd have to be very ulucky to get your money's worth and anyway aren't BMW's well made. It's like saying you think you are buying a...

You could also try Car Care Plan. They handle warranties for a number of big brands (see http://www.carcareplan.co.uk/companyoverview.htm ).
