Hi guys, I'm a newbie, my names Debbie and until I picked up my 2009 Z4 yesterday I was a BMW virgin. I'm really pleased with the car and are looking forward to many years of happy top down motoring in him. With that in mind, can anyone point me in the right direction to buy a wind deflector please? I have briefly Googled it and can see there are many variations and prices lol.

Thanks

Hiya,

Thanks

I will try Ebay. I did go on Amazon briefly but noticed there were lots of different deflectors. some were listed as genuine BMW parts, they came like I said in different shapes and materials and prices. polished tinted glass, perspex, cloth. Just wondered if anyone had had experience of the different types and what people thought were the best ones to get.

Not sure on the fitting side either, like I said i only picked the car up yesterday afternoon....but I Love It!

Cheer Daz My first 'drop top' as you put it lol....hard top gives me the benefit of both :)

I just don't wanna spend out loads on a deflector and find a cheaper one works just as well.

Thanks

Welcome Debbie, the black metal deflectors are best, could be an idea to find a local breakers, you might be lucky, fingers crossed, Enjoy the forum.

Thanks for the welcomes guys. Thank you Big Al I will have a look round; I love going to the breakers yard with my spanners! My last car was a 22 year old MR2 so this is a big change for me and boy am i enjoying it! Re the deflectors I had thought about the clear ones purely for visabilty. I might pop into a dealers have a chat.

I have the black metal deflector, the wind travels through the metal deflectors and no problems with vision, have to be honest have not seen clear ones, but if they are solid then I would guess that the wind would bounce back, everyone I know with a Z3 & Z4 have the metal deflectors, good luck with whatever you chooses though.

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving
