Common Problems with the BMW Z4

As with any car, regular servicing is a must if you want to maintain a safe and reliable vehicle to drive. The expert mechanics at Auto Studio in Adelaide would be happy to help with all your service and repair requirements. Here are some common problems that you may encounter with your BMW.

Control Arm Bushings

If you have noticed clunking or jolting from your steering wheel, it could be a sign that the control arm bushings need to be replaced. Over time these fittings can wear out and deteriorate causing vibrations, clunking or banging sounds and uneven tyre wear. If you have noticed any of these symptoms with your BMW, then we suggest bringing it in to have one of our expert mechanics isolate the problem for you.

Coolant Leaks

A number of older model Z4’s have reported coolant loss. This can result in the engine overheating, and is not a problem that should be ignored. In many cases, this can be caused by hoses and fittings wearing over time, but could also be a sign of a problem with the radiator or water pump. to avoid serious problems developing, we advise getting your car looked at as soon as possible if it is leaking coolant.

Oil Leaks

Your typical engine oil leak can be a common occurrence with all cars from time to time and is often more prevalent in older models or cars with a higher odometer count. Over time gasket seals can wear out and begin to deteriorate, and this is often the cause of the problem.
