Wanted

Post by Gneumark » Thu Oct 27, 2016 9:25 am

I'm looking for a drivers side halogen headlamp for my wife's 2004 Z4. Full of condensation which I've tried to dry out but not successful. Passenger side was replaced after an accident two years ago but drivers is original and now 12 years old.
Please let me know if you have one.
Thanks

Daft question, but have you tried getting hold of a new rear cover or re-sealing it? There are a few breaking on eBay at the moment if not.

I have had the car into my local garage as I am not a mechanic and I left it with them.
They took the back off and left it over the weekend to dry out and then resealed it but it hadn't worked.
They weren't confident that it wouldn't work hence why I am now trying to get a replacement.
Thanks

Get a new rear cover and seal from BMW, they are less than £15. Unless the headlight is damaged I would be 99% sure a new seal will fix the problem, it's a common problem. Try Sopers of Lincoln and mention the Forum for a bit of a discount.
