Bimmer Owners Club

Hi Jon.....welcome to the Forums As Dave has mentioned, it could be a leaky injector....a simple leak-back test is all that is required to check this out. Other possibilities could be that it is down to different driving styles, by the sound of it you are a progressive driver who uses the revs quite liberally....which may be different to how the previous owner drove it (e.g. low revs high gears) which would lead to carbon build up and of which you are clearing out of the engine and exhaust. I wouldn't worry about it unduly at the moment and see how it goes once its had time to clear out. Keep us informed on how it all goes Cheers, Trevor

Good luck and bon voyage !

Hi Dennis.....welcome to the Forums As Dave has suggested, this may be the best route forward and I'm sure any electrical cables will have enough slack in them to increase the seat height with no problems at all. Let us know how you get on with the purchase. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Dan.....welcome to the Forums How did you find the Z4 as contemplating one at the mo? Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Hi Sanjay....welcome to the Forums. Unfortunately, the Premium Membership has been discontinued, but that does not mean to say that it could not possibly be resurrected in the future. Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

You could jack up each corner on the front independently and check the tyre profile by turning the wheel slowly and looking at the tread area...been caught out like this before and it turned out to be a small bulge in the tread area which was leading to the shaking. Also, would be worth checking the wheel nuts/bolts to be sure they are tight

Hi John...welcome to the Forum As Dave has already mentioned, the temperature you are reading is perfectly normal but if it does suddenly rise then you could have air in the system. Some BMW engines had a small bleed screw on the thermostat housing area which you could extract any trapped air from. Also, sometimes the impeller on the water pump parts company and this can also lead to a temperature increase. Cheers, Trevor
