Hi guys :)

Hi all

Just moved to the USA and purchased a 2004 Z4 3.0i with 8k miles on it.

I previously drove a mazda 3 in Australia, so the change was dramatic and i loved every bit of it

You guys are so lucky with the car prices here.

Anyway, Inoticed some minor problems with it as you can see in the photos below:

-There is rusting on the nuts and wheels rotor and brake discs (I'm not sure if I named them correctly, I only have amateur knowledge of cars). Does this rusting affect anything and is there anyway to remove it?

-The "Service Engine Soon" light always comes on when I start it up and the car beeps for 5 secs. As I said, this 7 yr old has only done 8k miles and no service history was to be found in the service books, so I don't know if any service has been done.

The car was bought from Barrier Porsche, Bellevue (My parents bought their Porsche's there). Should I service it there of some BMW dealership, and what kind of cost am I looking at if it is indeed the maiden service.

-Also, could someone please tell me what the EML is?

-One last thing, I put a CD into the CD player but it will not eject, is this a common problem or am I just unlucky?

Sorry for the long boring post..

How do we drive top down in Seattle weather??!!
