premium gas? by rcz3
Sep 10, 2005 (7:02 pm)
Does a 3.0 Z3 really need premium gas? Would running on regular gas cause any problems with the drive train?

Yes.. it needs premium..
 
Regular gas may not cause any damage, but the car will have reduced horsepower, and may even get worse gas mileage, negating any savings from using regular grade.

Can you please tell me where you purchase your extended maintenance warranty? Phone number would be great.

Sorry... no dealer contact information is allowed on the forums
 
Someone could give you the dealership name and location.. You'll have to let google do the rest....

Upgrading/Extending BMW Maintenance Program by sanfranz4
Oct 01, 2005 (12:39 pm)
Does anyone recommend upgrading the BMW Z4 maintenance.
 
My 2003 Z4 2.5 currently has 42K miles and the BMW full maintenance will expire in 8K miles. For $985.00 I can upgrade to have the maintenance extended to 100,000 miles/ 6 years. I plan to keep the car for about 3 more years and drive approx. 13-15K annually.
 
Has anyone done the cost comparison on it? Any feedback appreciated.
 
Thanks

I would.. The Inpection II at 60K could be $700-$900 all by itself.. Add in a brake job, and you are easily over the limit...
 
Of course, if you planned on taking your car to an independent for repair work after the original warranty is up... my advice would be different...

2001 740 IL Sunroof by ktcrkelley
Oct 03, 2005 (9:16 am)
Does anyone have any ideas on a sunroof issue I have. No matter which direction I push the button , the roof continues to open. Pushing in the direction of Close or Tilt still makes the roof open. Once opened fully it will not close. I had to manually close it after this happened. Very clean car with little roof usage. 18K on car.
 
Thanks in advance

Auto body recommendation for 2001 Z3 by javajam66
Nov 02, 2005 (10:55 am)
Hi - I have a 2001 Z3 in the Impala Brown color. I just recently had to park on the street and now have a minor dent between the kidney grilles from someone backing into me. Can anyone recommend a good auto body place that blends paint well in NY?
 
Thanks!

How can I find information on scheduled maintenance and costs? by joach55
Nov 05, 2005 (5:01 pm)
I'm thinking about buying a fairly old 5 series (1997 528i) from a BMW dealer, and don't feel I am getting straight answers regarding costs of scheduled maintenance. The car has low mileage for its age (55k). Is anyone aware of a schedule of regular maintencance available online and the standard dealer prices for same on such a vehicle? Alternately, can you give me any idea what maintenance costs on such a car? Thanks in advace.
Joachim
