Just got my first E85 2.5 5 speed manual. I have been with these forums since I got my e90 in high-school. Since then I have 3 E90s now. I love them all. I am now adding a Z4 into my collection. I got it for $3300 with some haggling. It has 130,000 miles. I believe it has a ofhg and oil pan gasket leak. It came with a bunch of service records and some had VALVOLINE OIL CHANge GRRR. I only use motul or liquimoly in my inline 6 engines.
Drove it home and hard. Temps stay at middle. Engine runs smooth. Trans feels nice. Brakes are done. Tires are some economy tires. Gonna use them up at autoX.
Top doesn't go down but I manually open and close it. The latch motor still works well.
Any tips to make this more reliable? I should change diff and trans fluid. I have Motul gear oil 300 ready.
Any tips from the community would help.
Oh and LOWBEAM LIGHTS ARE OUT. Only high beam works so im hopping its the bulbs? If so which bulbs should I buy?
THANKS
