Re: New z4 owner
Cheers for the warm welcome on here guys, I truly thought I found an unknown with the 2.5i model compared to the many 3L about any more power she would be driving me in this current weather, tail happy on a down hill junction was a nice surprise today.

I have used the exact same product to waterproof mine. WC aboardBM1 wrote:Hi folks, happy to have picked up my new z4 2.5i last week whilst originally searching for an old school TT when the Zed found me, and I'm glad I spotted - the test drive had me hooked, despite the dealer informing me the battery needed charged before heading out. Against the alarms bells telling me walk away I purchased and to my delight on here the only issue with the battery running down quickly is the bonnet sensor fault, highlighting where I Park with the hazards flashing all day, picking up replacement tomorrow.
No complaints aside the usual run flats compromise and dignified water draining checks but happy motoring all round and an extremely helpful forum of members on here for help at hand. I'm also surprised at how flawless the paintwork is on her.

Re: New z4 owner
True story the smells and sniffs alone sell products these days lol, designed surely by these folk supporting scented candles at ridiculous prices, I grew up running with the autoglym range and old habits die hard, at least a pretty Zed is worth the efforts of costly gifts.Simz wrote:Welcome mate, I get mine next Saturday thanks to Ste, The sponge is great for applying tyre products but you probably already know that lol Bilt Hamber is my goto product these days!! after getting caught up in all the hype and spending a fortune on crap i didn't need but smelt nice.
The AG range above also including the fabric hood cleaner came to £92, (which arrived as ordered but they never phoned to announce)

a few different versions of titan metallic depending on the year whether there is any truth in that I don't know?,
If you go to a proper auto paint shop and not halfraulds they will be able to make a up a can or a touch up pen

Cheers for the heads up, different versions based on years would surely baffle halfrauds and probably catch me out too so hopefully not the case, don't think I would count on halfrauds
for the Zed for much anymore especially paint, different with the previous car being a Seat.
