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!

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.

      Engine cut-out on idle.

      I have a BMW 5 Auto Tourer Estate 2011. Tick-over very erratic - almost cutting out and sometimes does cut out whilst idling at traffic lights etc. Also I can hear a slight and constant hiss (not a whistle like a turbo fault). Any ideas what could be the problem. Many thanks.

      Morning Damien Welcome to the Forum An internet search may give more information particularly the US sites Your BMW Dealer may not have seen it but that doesn't mean its not there. I have also read that the new cars when plugged into the Dealers system now have to be linked to BMW Gmbh They really don't make it easy do they, Technology is great until it stops 😅 Hope they can sort it with a software upgrade or something simple so you can enjoy your car again (sneaking around in silent mode🤣) Dave

      Amplifier replacement.

      You are welcome Danny A BMW Dealer will not repair anything, they just change components at the Customers expense and no regard for cost I would use a BMW Vin Decoder site put the Vin number in and you should get the original build sheet Look at the list of Codes S676A is the basic Hi Fi system S688A is Harmon Kardon S6F1A is Bowers & Wilkins. Then you will know the starting point and will be able to make choices on how you move forward. BMW Designers are good at hiding components in places where they can get flooded, several models over the years have had Nav/Audio in the boot buried under the floor. Plus many of those models had a boot that could become a swimming pool if a seal was damaged or failed so moving your amp out of the danger zone makes sense. As you had the 40 amp fuses melted check the speakers as well as they may have been overloaded For service, help and knowledge there is a Register of BMW Specialists you should find more than one near you most are BMW trained they will have the equipment and Knowledge (one near me specialises in BMW/Porsche) yet is still less than half Dealer labour rates. One of those or an Audio Specialist would be on my list if I couldn't do the job myself. Good Luck Dave
