New Z4MR Owner soon

Post by ClubberL » Thu May 11, 2017 5:47 pm

Hello All
I have been a long time admirer of the Z4MR, and now I'm finally in a position to own and run one. I have had a couple of Zeds this year, E85 2.0 lovely car just lacked the grunt. E89 3.0 again lovely car, thought it was my keeper, but found myself looking on the net for an M///
I found one not to far away at a dealer, low miles @36k FBMWSH. Got a good deal for my 3.0 eventually, deposit paid today, pick up on tuesday
I want to keep stock for the time being. It has DSP and would like to take full advantage of it. I am an android user, can any forum members recommend a system for either connecting or streaming
I don't post that often, seems only when i change cars! But i read a lot of posts on here every day
TIA
Chris

Makes me think the flutes have failed and they have sleeved them which doesn't allow for proper alignment.

Worth checking as Mr Wilks says though.

Cheers mr wilks. I have just emailed the dealership with the pics i have taken, and a pic of another Z4MR in Sytner Solihull. Your right, huge difference. Many thanks :thumbsup:

Possible simple explanation if the previous owner had aftermarket boxes on & simply hasn't paid attention to detail when replacing .
For both to be drooped in similar fashion that would be my thought , sure it can be sorted without issue for you :thumbsup:

It was Dick Lovett Hungerford. Didn't have a pleasant experience with them. Eventually purchased the car through Dick Lovett Swindon, who were top notch

Even at that mileage i'd be insisting on an inspection 2 given that you're paying full fat dealer price
