Much ado about nothing. You were right to credit the post to the original authors; however, it was a public forum and not copyright material so it can be reproduced and reposted any number of times. It's all in the name of helping each other out with no malice or plagiarism intended.

For some reason my web site is down and I don't know why. Plus I am not home to fix the issue.

I will have to get my son on the phone and do some troubleshooting.

Im glad I cleaned mine. My baby is a garage queen and was completely clogged on the passenger side even though it is barely exposed to the elements. That really told me something.

We sure would love to have this info but when we try the links we get that it can't be found. Can someone help us out? We just got our Z4 2 weeks ago so this would be VERY helpful for us. Thank You!

My site has has a server crash. Motherboard is toast and I am on travel. When I get back home in a week or so, the new hardware should be waiting for me and soon after that the site will be back up.

Also waiting to see this PDF... if you send it to me (email) I can host it elsewhere. A bit nervous about my drains clogging too since it's a used vehicle, I don't know what type of maintenance has been done on the car.

This should work. It's easy from the top. Taking the fender liners out is kinda PITA.

Thank you . Is there any reason you cannot leave the drain plug off or drill a hole in it for a constant drain?
