What to do to bring my car up to date?
OK, considering the fact that my recently bought z4 is 5 years old but only has 17K miles, what maintenance would you recommend?
So far, I only did oil change. (I dont know when was last time they changed oil on this car, but the oil looked pretty dark..) I will be doing brake fluid flush soon, (disk and pads still have some life in them so skipping them for now) Also will do automatic transmission leak and fluid change. I am weighting between lifeguard6 or redline ATF D4. Will redline work fine? Other than these, what should I do to bring this car up to date in terms of maintenance? Differential oil? Engine Coolant? Power steering fluid? Please give me your inputs. Thanks. Last edited by thelinux; 03-12-2013 at 02:27 PM.. |

The dual clutch did not come in our year car. If I remember correctly the dual clutches came out in 2008 for the M3.

Too bad we dont have dual clutch. But I have sport package. Is my transmission any different than ones without this package? Because I feel that my car shifts real fast in sports mode so that's why I thought my transmission maybe has dual clutch.

The 2003-2005 had a 6 speed auto, 2006 brought the 6 speed, the sport does change the shift points, so that is normal in sport mode

Anyway, am I right? Does it shift quicker in sport mode than normal mode? BTW, I just saw your signature. I am in Orange County too. Will you put me on the list? |
