Hi all,

as per the title, I'm new in these parts. I have just purchased a 2007 Z4 2.0iM roadster. I pick the car up on Tuesday and am very excited! (pics attached).

about me, I'm 25 (well untill March 25th). live and work in Cardiff and love my cars, well sports cars.

My previous car histry is as follows:

Rover metro - first car got to love it!

1975 MG Midget - to this day still my favourite car (pending the upcoming Z4 ownership)

1974 MGB Roadster

1997 MG F

2006 mk 3 MX5

and now (well Tuesday) 2007 BMW Z4 2.0IM Roadster

so I'd like to think I've owned a few interesting cars for someone my age. I love my classic cars and was an active member of the Cardiff MG Owners Club untill it was dispanded. I also have a love of classic motorbikes, particuarly 70s Yamaha 2 stroke twins.My first bike was an FS1E which I restored I then moved onto an RD125A and briefly a CBR125. Time and money have meant I haven't yet progressed to my full bike lisence but one day I hope to get there.

So I'm looking forward to getting stuck in here and meeting some new friends.

All the best

Ben

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

I have been quite lucky with my car history for someone my age. Though none of the MGs were restored examples so always had many issues, but then that was part of the fun for me.

I picked up the car yesterday, so still getting used to all the toys on it. The invoice did say it has a 6 disk changer but I'm yet to find it, certainly isn't where the book says it should be so I assume thats just an error. Oh wel not the end of the world. I want to look into adding bluetooth so I can use siri via the steering wheel, buy I guess we are talking expensive here!

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
