Another newbie from Wales

Post by Wafoo » Thu May 11, 2017 10:04 am

Just purchased my first Z4, she's a 2005 2.2SE with a few issues so hopefully this forum will serve me well, usual hood motor problem, only firing on 5 cylinders, and a few scratches and scrapes to sort out
But for now, here she is

Welcome to the forum. There are several members who can resurrect roof motors and relocate to the boot at very reasonable cost :thumbsup:

Hi, lovely colour zed you've found there-have you got a code reader to help with the problem? Hopefully something simple like a coil pack :thumbsup:
