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, most of which have been spent cleaning the interior and polishing the exterior, not that it really needed it. I hope to enjoy many years with this car.
As a DIY mechanic I never really trust garage serving records and like when buying a new car to start off giving it a full service myself. So, a quick question, what engine oil would be recommended for a car at 55000 miles. I am not sure about the really thin oils ie those starting with '0' but I see from the last service that it have 5/30 oil of unknown make. Petronas 5/30 seems to be advised at Eurocarparts but any steers would be much appreciated.
