BMW Z4 parts reviews

After Christmas I addressed the pulleys and tensioners after closer inspection. The idler pulley was OK-ish but at this point...yeah. I accidentally bought an extra pulley...Removing & replacing the rest was pretty easy...The belts are in great shape so I'm not replacing those (I know, shocking). And of course it wouldn't be a kiznarsh project without replacing hood struts. So much better now you guys.

Definitely. The Z4 is plenty comfortable, and the ZF 8-speed auto is terrific in any situation.

I daily my RWD BMW Z4 in Chicago. I invested into Nokian winter tires and never had issues with being stuck.

I have a set os PS4Ss on my Z4 and they're pretty good.

I’m a big fan of Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetrics. They strike a nice balance of sporty with reasonable wear and good rain grip. They have a decent rim protector

Lo sterzo elettro assistito.... Quando spingi il feeling di un vero idraulico per me rimane migliore....

The initial bite is really, really good on the street, and the pads feel very good. I never had issues with overheating.

The life of the front pads, however, wasn't very impressive to me. I got about 8 months of daily driving (75% highway miles), 20-30 canyon runs (roughly 35 minutes each) + 2 trackdays (my 2nd and 3rd ever) out of them. I had to cut my 3rd trackday short because the wear sensor came on, and then within 10 minutes, the front pads were metal-metal with the rotor, and I went off into the dirt.

I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.

If that's a factory BMW floating rotor keep a very close eye on that. Have seen more than one of those come apart (crack gets to edge, ring breaks away from hat), locks a wheel and full sends you in that direction towards the barriers.... Good buddy totaled his z4m and did like 6-7k of armco damage when that happened

The water pump had a micro leak that would spray coolant on the air box. Never enough to make me want to go through the trouble of replacing it.
