Newbie with 2.5i e85

Post by Ds1984 » Mon Sep 11, 2017 12:45 am

Hi everybody. Around 6 months ago I bought nice looking z4. At the time of a purchase she was sweet and sound.
Although after a week I've sent her for a basic service and been advice with cracked spring. And since then I have nothing but problems with her. Yet love her as she's potentially a lovely toy just bit temperamental at the moment lol. I'll fire up another post in e85 problems section to see if you guys can help me out.

Kind regards
Daniel

Welcome :thumbsup:
You will find there are lots of friendly and helpful people here.

Re springs - they tend to crack, snap and rust away after a relatively small amount of time. Sometimes it even goes un-noticed. Ever thought about after market lowering springs? A lot of us here have them and personally I think a zed is kinder on the eye with a subtle drop.

Thanks very much for warm welcome guys. I'm the car sicko guy. I was hoping I'll have this just to enjoy sunny day but mods are on the way. Having 2 modified cars does drain wallet that's one for sure hahaha
