My 2005 Z4 with 137,000 miles / 217,000 km performed like a champ at a Porsche club track day - 8 twenty minute session over 2 days. These are great cars.

M54 is bulletproof, keep change oil after 10.000km or less, use a highest grade like 5w40 (if it burns oil) and some additive like ceratec, and you will reach 500.000km easily

@@jumolbureanu2415 yeah of course things can happen, but in a large point of view is a nice engine and easy to work on. I recently rebuilt one and it looks very strong on every part, nice tolerances and quality. What happened to you? Do you use it hardly??

@davidedagostino474 you wont find the m54 in any "most reliable bmw engines" top. It could be worse, yes, but the m57 has proven to be a superior engine. B58 has 2x vanos and valvetronic and a way better reliability rating than m54 in spite of its complexity

I have one of these. It's also a pleasure to own and drive and is nearly 18 years old. I had nearly 100,000 miles on the clock. Mine has the smaller four cylinder 2.0 litre engine which is plenty powerful enough, is super smooth, uses no oil and returns 47mpg. I change the oil and filters every year, although I only do about 3000 miles. Obviously it needs the odd thing doing to get through the MoT test but this year there was nothing wrong. It's probably worth what I paid for it five year ago. Great car.

I have this exact car. Including the exact same color combination with the red leather interior. I just bought it a couple of weeks ago with only 42,000 miles on it and new tires, in great condition except that the roof motor doesn't work (common problem) and occassionally the power steering goes out. This can be very expensive to fix. The dealer quoted me $10,000. Even just the part alone is $5,000! BUT!!! This is probably the most FUN car to drive that I've ever owned. And I fell in love with the looks. And I've had a decent number of nice cars in my lifetime. 30 so far. And that includes multiple Jaguars, multiple Mercedes (S Class), Multiple BMWs (including a 750Li), multiple Lexus, Cadillac, Corvettes, etc. My main car now is a Genesis G90 Ultimate, and it's an incredibly nice car. Probably the best all round car I've ever had even better than my Mercedes S550. But none of them were quite as much fun as this little Z4. The Corvette came pretty close, but it was an automatic. The Jaguar XK8 convertible came close, but its a bigger, heavier car. More luxurious, and also an automatic. But this little Z4 with the online 6 and the 5 speed stick with the top down. Just gives me pure JOY to drive. It's literally FUN! I di t even feel like listening to the stereo - the engine sounds so good. And the 5 speed keeps you so engaged with the car that you couldn't possibly fall asleep at the wheel. You feel alive and connected to the car every passing moment. It's not a highway cruiser. For longer trips, I take the Genesis . But for short trips to the store, dinner, etc. It is just a blast to drive.

Adhesion issue on the front wing/ fender, wasn’t prepped properly…technician would blame the paint company, but it’s just laziness on the part of the prep before paint.

Hey BimmerZen, awesome video! My zed is heading towards 300.000 Km, what oil grade are you currently using? im on 5W40 and have to top up roughly 2L every year, a mechanic suggested 10W40 for these engines, any advice on that?
@BimmerZen
@BimmerZen Год назад
2L every year is still not too bad for these engines. I suggest you stick to the factory recommendations and use 5w40 with Longlife 01/Longlife 04 specification.

Have you checked for any leaks?
@ron8566
@ron8566 Год назад
So now that I have nearly 90k miles on the car how exactly would I know if the front suspension components need to be replaced? Better yet, how can I tell if anything in the front suspension needs to be replaced?
@BimmerZen
@BimmerZen Год назад
Lifting the car and inspecting all of the components is the only way to know, but if the car drives fine, I would not be too worried. Usually you need to check for: - leaky shocks (signs of oil residue on the shocks, unstable drive at higher speeds), - broken springs (car sits lower on one side), - worn front control arm bushings (steering wheel not centered, thud sound and shudder on braking at low speeds, front wheel has lot's of play front to back), - bad ball joints on the front control arm (pirate ship noises when turning the wheel while stationary, knocking over bumps) - bad steering and stabilizer tie rods (play, torn rubber boots, knocking over bumps)
