Short notice but thought I would flag up this monthly Classic car meet at the Riverview Cafe, Station Road,Forest Row, East Sussex this Sunday from about 11.30 to 2.00 ish. Usually a lot of 60s/70s classics from Ferraris to Fiat 500s and nice bacon butties etc from the Cafe. The Xmas meet is...

I have seen various surveys like 'average drivers age' but has a survey been carried out at any time on how many miles our cars have covered. I ask because there are a number of cars up for sale on the forum with over 100k miles on the clock and I have always understood that once a car hits that...

A few facts 1. I am retirement age, so no spring chicken 2. As soon as I was out of nappies I had a set of spanners in my hand so like to think I am reasonably competent- infact must be decades ago that I last let a mechanic near any car i have owned. 3.I have owned the 2.5 SE (55000 miler) for...

Now that we have taken the very sensible step of voting to leave that failed experiment called the EU, will that mean BMW leaves these shores in what is probably the only European market they are selling to in great numbers. If so I look forward to my Zed climbing in value. Overnight I visualize...

Following on from the Surrey 2016 meet thread, a number of us suggested Newlands Corner as an ideal place for a meet (but not a hoon). Newlands Corner is a beauty spot attracting a number of car and motorbike clubs as well as a starting point for ramblers. There is a cafe serving some very good...

No not the Zed but the flooding which seems to be affecting large swathes of the country. Down here in the South we have really high temperatures and generally grey skies but not much rain. Watching the news last night I spotted a half submerged Zed but couldnt tell what model it was. Hope it...

Happy Christmas to everyone. Had my Zed since end of August but in that time had a lot of advice and even given a bit of help. Not yet met anyone on the Forum but looking forward to meeting people during 2016. Will post up details of a classic car meet I go to once a month so hopefully a few...

Had my 10 year old low mileage 2.5 Zed a couple of months now but with the overcrowded potholed roads her in Sussex I have only driven sedately. Took car out for a spin along the south coast on Sunday and was poodling along about 70mph on a dual carriageway when I remembered I hadn't yet tried...

Had my 2005 2.5 SE for only a month or so and reading up on the Forum, it would seem a good idea to buy a code reader. I have read on here about people buying leads with connectors which then plug into a laptop(?) but I am not that IT literate. Is there a simple hand held device that doesnt need...

When I was changing my oil last week I noticed that various parts of the exhaust system were showing signs of rust. We all know that exhausts can and do rot from the inside out due to condensation but the dreaded tin worm can hit the hangers and the joints including the weld points. I therefore...

Having just acquired this car I have read up on the forum the procedure to unblock the drain holes but thought I would do a water test first to see whether they were actually blocked. On the passenger side I poured water around the area of the drain hole and a nice stream of water ran out under...

A newbie (who has posted pictures) and keeps asking questions. But are cup holders fitted as standard to all cars. On both sides I can see where these should be fitted but I cannt get them to open. It could be that they are both jammed but I dont want to start forcing anything if it is only a...

As a Newbie please excuse my possibility of going over old ground. I have had the car for 3 weeks and it hasnt got any wind deflectors and nothing is fitted in the rollover hoops. We have been using the car roof down but both my wife and I are finding it incredibly windy and as neither of us are...

I have always had a deep mistrust of garages and servicing. Having owned my 2.5 2005 plate Z4 for 3 weeks I decided to do a service on the car as the oil looked a bit worn. Bear in mind that according to the service records (all dealer stamps are in book) this was not due for many thousands of...

As a newbie, apologies if this has been covered before but I am about to do a full service on this car and wonder whether anyone has fitted the K&N airfilter and what results resulted ie is it worth the extra money over the standard filter. Thanks

Just purchased my first Z4. A 2005 model with 2.5 SE spec. It was a hasty purchase to replace my Lotus Esprit which has given me endless problems over the years and is now waiting export to Belgium. My first impressions of the Z4 are very favourable although I have only had it a couple of days...
