I've connected my Apple iPhone 12 to the radio sound system via bluetooth and plugged in my phone's music apps via hardwire under the dash). Can iTunes and Pandora play over the car's bluetooth system as well? I tried to post a picture to this thread, but no luck as of yet (too big) - perhaps in the photo contest. I look forward to getting good information from you all as I continue with this project - it's always been my dream to own a car like this!
Congratulations! 3.0si is a really fantastic drivetrain. More horsepower than the Z3M that came before it (except the very rare S54 cars) and much more modern suspension. Special cars.

The factory bluetooth is old tech without enough bandwidth to handle music streaming. It's good for phone only. I used (and still use in other cars) a Tunai Firefly to connect my phone to the car's audio system via bluetooth. Clean look, simple to install assuming you have an audio jack under the dash, decent quality sound.

First time post, long time lurker. Have had an '06 Z4MR, Imola red, Sapang Bronze, no nav, 96k kms ( 60k miles US car) and recently acquired a collector quality '06 Z4MC, Sapphire w/ black extended leather, no nav, near perfect with 34k kms (21k miles), CAD car. The current mileage will be increased enthusiastically...
The roadie was supposed to be sold to fund the coupe but my bride likes driving it too much.

New owner

Hello All,
New owner as of last month. Spending too much of my free time reading posts on this forum. 2003 Z4 e85 3.0.i 6spd manual, all packages, tan top, beige interior, 86,000 miles, no reported accidents, no codes, 2 previous owners, runs beautifully and handles superbly. I have the complete service history since car was new. Most fun I’ve ever had and I’ve a some really fun cars. I’ve owned and currently own 2 wheeled BMWs but my first with four wheels.
With my years of Beemer ownership I’ve learned the great value of brand/model specific forums and this fits that description.

Hey, just a question what tyre sizes do you use ? I'm going to do the same set but I think OEM front size 255/40/18 might be too big and will make damage in my front liner.

What is the sequence to connect to Bluetooth on the radio?
Also when I go to settings on the radio, bass treble etc I can adjust up but my down button doesn’t work. Any suggestions?

Luckily, mine came with all service records and most everything has been done within the last few years and 20k miles.

Howdy from Texas. I just purchased a friend for my 2005 M3, a 2007 M Coupé. It has 39000mi and is in exceptional condition. Only mod is Stromung rear exhaust. I couldn't be happier with it. I was worried it would be too similar to the M3 but its a completely different animal.

I purchased through Autotrader Private Seller Exchange. Here in Texas they even do all the paperwork for you. Definitely would use it again.

I'm currently waiting on a Bluebus board and hoping to do a bit of hardware hacking on it using a spare nav bench setup I have.

Cheers o/

2008 3.0is

Flying to DC to pick up my 1st bimmer and drive it back to Ohio. Black 2008 Z4 3.0is automatic. Wish it was manual, but for the price I can't be too choosy. It needs DSC sent out, top hydro motor (real surprise there) front lower bumper grill and maybe the rear deck painted. $6k (132,000mi) and it's coming home. I'm happy with that. Previously I've had: 71 Lotus Europa, a few Miatas, Izuzu turbo coupe, and now my 1st REAL sports car.

How do I post/upload pics? Haven't used one of these forums for a while and don't remember! LOL
