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!

      Front windscreen washers

      Hi Dave. In my opinion the squirt is weak, it only reached about a third of the way up the windscreen. The hose has been completely changed from the pump to the first jet, tank and filters have been removed and fully cleaned. It works but weak when the car is not running, but as soon as i start the car the pump works for about 3 seconds before stopping then nothing. The rear is working fine, it's just the fronts.

      wheel fitment

      great info! 5 X 120 pattern. I believe the x5 uses 10" front and 11" rear?

      wheel fitment

      Morning Terry Welcome to the Forum Are they BMW OEM or After Market ? If they are after market then check load capacity (I have read of cracking) and off set to clear callipers, you say 20" x 5 ? Is that studs I hope not width ? or are you looking for a spacer saver spare? If so don't forget the Jack and wheel brace (I know a few who have 😂) If you aren't aware check www.realoem.com it is a BMW online parts website put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box then check the wheels/tyres section you will get all wheel sizes including off set Hope this helps Dave

      New Owner Thoughts – 320d 2l M Sport Touring Xdrive 2019

      Great feedback Richard I am afraid all cars are becoming gimmicky the designers need to understand that because a Microchip has the capacity you don't need to use it !! As you say some good but an awful lot irrelevant being an old bloke even when I got the 4.6is X5 (2003) it had a reverse camera and sensors. Being my age and having spent many years turning and looking when reversing I had owned the car a fair while when reversing one day a passenger said "thats cool" you have a camera why don't you use it ? The current X5 has camera's and when parking/reversing I still turn to look where I am going 😅 Just stop using the bit's you don't need Most important though ENJOY your Beemer Dave
