Hello, sounds stupid but the other day my headlights were fogged from the inside. Although this changed with the switching on of the headlights, even in the area of the dipped-beam – the turn signals were still fogged even after the ride. My dealer shared with me that is normal, because the headlights are ventilated and can therefore also be fogged at short notice. I find this somewhat strange – what do you say about it? Many greetings from Düsseldorf…

Hi, I picked up my new kit today. Huge first registration 02/04 and with 20tkm. The equipment: leather Oregon black, alarm system, LM wheels star spoke 108, hardtop preparation, fully automatic cover, storage package, seat heating, PDC, rain sensor, air conditioning automatic, radio business CD, M sports suspension. Here some pics. Before that it was still quite sunny and I used the time of course for driving. But just now it even snowed pretty hard. Well… Greetings Markus

Hello people! Can anyone explain to me why the used Z4 so far rather reluctantly followed the price struggle on the automotive market? Search now for weeks for a used one and realize again and again that with reasonable but not spartan equipment a new insignificant (about 3-5000) costs more than a used (request up to 15% on list price) But with the used one is always its wear, its unknown history, its material (from April 2005 there is a high the quality of the interior, the guarantee and the design (white flashing lights at the front and at the back) to consider?! I find some used ones, which cost more (!) than comparable new ones. Sometimes used ones for 50-60 ́€ geistern in den Börsen rum. Even if I wanted – I don ́t even know what to order on the factory side CAN (!) that the car comes at such a price (now I know the special equipment lists by heart…). My theses: 😉 1. ) The market for new e is run by professionals who do not stick to lunar prices 2.) The market for new ones is also visited by professional demanders who occur harder (price agencies), who “get out” more than the all-ten-year-time-one-car-buying customer 3.) I look in the wrong sources (daily newspaper, autoscout…) 4.) It is still too early in the year 5.) a) The “sellers” used ones do not achieve the expected prices at all b) The “sellers” used ones simply pull a certain percentage from the then List price without watching the market. Who enlightens me?

Hello, I have a z3 1.9 and would like to ask if this is normal that the rear itself at 10kmh, dry road, normal acceleration and winter tire breaks out that’s not normal anymore or? why is that, it can be that there is any defect or is that just normal

Hello, since May 2004 I count myself among the lucky ones who are allowed to drive a Z4 3.0. I have been following this nice forum for a while (irregularly), but to my question I have found nothing about the search. After obviously higher motorized Z4 variants still wait for an indefinite time (new 3l with 258 HP possibly soon, Z4-M is in the stars), our sweetheart should get a small performance cure in the spring. r, namely the smallest expansion stage “NOWACK auto+sport Motorkit EVO II” with power increase approx. 25 kw / 34 hp torque increase approx. 30 NM – NOWACK exclusively sports camshafts (EVO I) – Optimization of intake air guide (RAM-air) – sport air filter with increased air throughput – Optimization of engine software to above mentioned tuning components (for switching vehicles incl. speed band extension to 7,000 rpm) – V-max. suspension (V-max. > 250 km/h) – assembly costs: EUR 2.780,00 Hat any of you have already had experiences with Nowack, possibly even with this or another performance upgrade kit? I’m curious. Greetings Prian

Hi guys, I’m usually working in the golf IV forum… now since the z4 is out I have to say yes, I’m really in love! actually I’m satisfied with the power performance with my golf 4 gti tdi with 150ps and powerbox ca 180ps… but I’m short with a buddy and his z4! I’m just in love! now my question to you, best to the drivers who own one… I have about 28 000€ and a little more which would you advise me and with which equipment or kilometers of performance…? or even completely new? you notice the difference between 192 and 231 very much? what does it look like with sprit consumption? is it in the price-performance ratio? what do you pay so insurance? the 170ps does not come into question for me… about your answers I would be very grateful if you would report to me and very gladly also with pictures! just tell everything there is! lg stefan

Hy, when is the Z4 with the engine from the 120i? It should be there from spring 2005, right? Greeting Speedy

A beautiful good MORgen So, mine wakes up just (Saturday) at the friendly, so that the flashing stops for the ZV. Now last night I fall on that the belt warner no longer beeps !?? now my question, have somewhere, I mean, read that you can’t turn it off by SW. What nu? eater broken or can you turn it off??? What did they do??? Greeting Swen

Do you feel the same way? After I have mounted the small 205er 15 inch winter tires again I have to find out again that they roll down quieter, better springs, much better straight out and noticeably faster speed up. if it just doesn’t look so poor !!! so also mature technically every season has its reize.

Aloha, have looked at a used Z4 today and had to establish that either my demands are too high or the used Z4 are too bad. Ask yourself what I can expect from used Z4 and what mistakes I must overlook. The Z4 I looked at today, built 06/03 and only 10,000km had the following “muggles”: – Driver and passenger seat at the door side relatively worn off (abrasive, worn off paint) – quite deep scratches on bonnet (roughly It’s impossible to polish) – Parkschramme on the bumper – bluish spot on the interior of the door. Am I too pingy here or do I have to reckon with these defects? Especially the heavy seat wear is not likely to be at 10,000 km? Or is the Leder in the Z4 of such poor quality?
