#1 of 4 Z4 speed bump issues? by zoephoenix Jan 19, 2008 (7:50 pm)
I read that other people were having problems with speed bumps in their Z4's... I just bought a used 2003 model yesterday and didn't realize it would do that when I went over a speed bump until I got it back to my apartment complex, which is littered with the things. Someone mentioned something to me about "raising" the car up a bit or something about the suspension, but I don't know anything about that. I don't know a lot about cars... >.>;; Is there something that I can do to help with this problem..? Replies to this message: dvp16 (Feb 17, 2008 7:48 am)

How much lower does the Z4 with sport package sit than the non-sport package? Thanks. Replies to this message: esfoad (Jan 25, 2009 12:10 pm)

Replying to: davegenet (Jun 30, 2008 7:57 am) Our car doesn't have the sport package but a prior car was very low. The answer was to go across speed bumps at an angle. If there are many speed bumps this can be tiring but it works.
