Hello.
I have owned 3 BMW's before... but none with more than 2 tires! (all Motorrad bikes—I still currently own a K1600GT, so sweet) I just bought a beautifully maintained 2005 Z4 3.0i in Newport Beach on Saturday and drove it back to SLC. I wanted to say Hi, and also ask my fellow owners a few basic questions I had in my mind while driving back. Cool?
1. Is it recommended to always have the top UP while not driving in terms of long term maintenance? (Even in my garage overnight etc.) I would imagine it is similar to a nice pair of pants... hanging crisp on a hanger vs. folding them up on a shelf. No?
2. Cleaning / Care: The convertible top, upper matte black dash, and leather seats are 3 things that look like they need something different than the typical cleaners. Common suggestions for these items and even the rest of the Z4? I am in this for the long haul.
3. That MediaBridge any good?
Thanks everyone. So thrilled to be part of the community. Here is the newly purchased car in Death Valley, CA with my beautiful wife:
