Hi All,

Recently picked up an 07 plate Z4 coupe 3.0si auto and am loving it so far. I have a couple of questions I can't find via answers to via search and wondered if anyone could help?

Boot lid – should it open fully when unlocked? Mine clicks but sits in place until I pop the badge in and lift by hand. I'm not sure if it needs new gas struts or they're all like that?

Seat belt guide. Mine has the M seats and the drivers side seat belt guide is missing. I “think” the right part number is 52107898478 but its not cheap so would appreciate guidance as to whether I'm about to order the right thing:


Thanks
Alan

The boot just unlocks, it's pretty basic.

Head over here for more info and general chat -

As for the part, you might be able to get hold of it from a BMW breakers for not much ££'s or try Sopers Lincoln for a decent new price.

not sure if it's one of these...

Hi OP, Aquarionne is quite right - the boot lock undoes but that is all that happens!

Pretty pointless feature IMO - my E46 Compact actually opens (well it would if it didn't have cheapo ECP gas struts on it). laugh

I can't help with your other question, but as suggested you will find an answer if you head over to Z4Forum.

Great choice of car BTW!
