Z4 Convertible Roof Repair by ardbroilach

Have a slight rip in the roof of our Z4. Are we best to have BMW fix it or do we have other options?

I would look for a good local trim shop, more than likely the dealership body shop is going to sublet out any soft top repair and then tack on 30% for their effort. Good trim shops will use oem spec materials and can replace a single panel on top vs reskinning the hole top.

2005 Z4 - does it have bluetooth by anijhaw

I am looking at an out of state 2005 Z4 at carmax. They can't seem to determine if it has bluetooth or not. I have pictures on the interior, dashboard, and steering wheel.
 
Is there a particular button on the steering wheel or stereo that would confirm whether it has bluetooth?

BMW Z3 by danjakubik

Hello!
 
I'm considering purchasing a used BMW Z3 (1997-1999). I test drove a 2.5L 1998 Z3 and liked the ride and handling very much. What kind of repair and maintenance costs is the Z3 known for? Are parts for the Z3 made here or only in Germany?
I've researched the Z3 and know it's praised for it's ride and handling. The interior quality is a little lacking, so there will probably be more interior maintenance costs for this car. With snow tires, how does the Z3 handle on wet or snowy roads? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

RUN FLAT TIRES by jlettie2

I am planning to purchase either a 2004 or 2005 Z-4. I do not like the run flats. They are dangerous and I know two people who had flat tires with a vehicle with installed run flats. The tires do not stay inflated for 50 miles as the tire manufactures claim. The damaged tires stays inflated for about 10-15 miles and runs completely flat damaging the rim.You must purchase a new tire and a rim at a cost of $700.00. I would like to know if any owner of a Z-4 changed there tires to regular seasonal tires? Will the Z-4 accept a compact spare in the trunk? What size type tire and rim for the compact spare? I know you must use a scissor type jack. Tried 3 dealerships and BMW USA never received an answer. One dealer stated if a Z-4 owner put regular tires on the car it will damage the suspension and void any warranty. I think this statement is bull. I would appreciate a reply. My E-mail jlettiecomcast.net. Thanks

BMW Z4: Model Change? by stoky

Does anyone know when we can expect BMW to make drastic changes to the Z4. I have heard through rumors (searching google) that a new Z4 can be expected in 2009 or 2010. Is there any truth to this? Doesn't BMW do model changes every 7 years or so, which would be on target to that 2009/2010 date.

transmission knocking? by rashelm

Anyone have any issues with the transmission making a knocking noise? It doesn't do it all the time - of course it doesn't do it when I take it in to have a mechanic look at it. Wondering if anyone had the same issues.

Z4 Chokes / Coughs on startup by ramu
Dec 29, 2007 (8:11 am)

I had left my car in the garage for about 35 days as I was outside the country. Upon my return I had to charge the batteries. The batteries are now fully charged but the car does not react to the accelerator. Makes a funny choking / knocking sound and the ride is very bumpy on the second gear. Not sure what to do?
 
Any suggestion to at least make it to the dealer.

Have you contacted BMW? Maybe the gas tank has water in it.

Z$.vs. Saturn Sky Red Line model by busiris

To anyone who considered getting a Saturn Sky Red Line model, but bought a Z4 instead...
 
Check out the 08 Saturn Sky Edmunds.com forums....evidently, there are MAJOR issues with the brakes on these cars, or maybe I should say "lack of brakes". There are already over 40 complaints registered on NHTSA'a web-site about brake failure.
 
I'm glad I got a Z4 instead!
