List of common problems/issues with the Z4?

M_Six · 01-23-2009, 01:17 PM

I tried searching for such a thing but came up empty. The E38 forum I used to frequent had a really handy list of common problems and issues (radiator, expansion tank, MAF, etc) and the approximate mileage when one could expect to encounter the problem. Is there any such list or discussion here? I just bought a 2006 Z4 3.0si yesterday with 24k miles on it and I'm wonder if there is anything I should be watching out for.

I'm looking forward to that problem.

And nice rims. They look great.

Thanks, MerL0W. That's helpful. Glad the list is short.

Is it really $3600 for shocks and struts?
