Great video thanks! I bought mine around 5 years ago now on a 10 plate and so far nothing drastic has happened! The only thing I find is in heavy rain, the left indicator rear blinks faster, but when it all dries out,fine! Great car!!! My wife doesn't like it because it's heavy clutch pedal. 😵💫

I would vote for the plastic headliner that runs along the forward edge of the convertible top. If you ever have to take it off, something will crack and a new one is like $600. I used melted scrap ABS plastic to repair it, but what a piece of junk. It has some cracks in it now that came out of nowhere, but unless it rattles, I say screw it. Just like the cup holders.

Also need to replace front struts as early as 95km . The gas seems to leak out of them causing the front to ride a critical 2-3cm lower. You'll notice the car scraping on driveways you used to be able to drive up at decent speed, more than 2km/hr. You always see old Z4s with their front chin all torn up.

Just bought an 03 Z4. Lower front is a little banged up. This must be the issue. Never owned a Z4 before, wasn't sure how low they are supposed to be. Although, it seems to ride ok.

I fixed this on my BMW 320i which has the same brain. Turned out to need a new passenger sensor. You can buy a thing to delete the code if everything is ok and you will need that anyway. Sounds like you might have that already. I bought a scavenged passenger sensor module and fitted that. Seat out job but probably an hour's work max. Reset the codes with the Chinese device and it stuck. I can upload a picture of the thing I bought from ebay maybe. Give me a minute. photos.app.goo.gl/MqhMFC1kAEWp4X1M8
