E89 due soon....couple of questions for you

[koolflyer]

1. Are those roof seals good for keeping the weather out, or where are the weak points to look out for?

2. Is it advisable to use a top cover anyway as I do with my Z3, and would the Z3 top cover fit the Z4?

Thanks in advance

Yes, no and definately not - have you seen the difference in size between the Z3 and E89?

All I would do is make sure all the seals are clean and dry, then a liberal spray of Silicone Spray. That’s all I do on our Eos Pete.

Yes I have. The Z4( E89) is 8" longer and 4" wider give or take, so I assume the cabin roof is bigger too, but just asking.

Thanks for that Tony, I thought that would be the case but interested in anything else to look out for roof wise. The wiring I see can be an issue I see, myself and RockyDave have both had that problem on our Tourers too. Good old heat shrink and hot air gun eh!

Out of interest are you replacing the Z3 or keeping both?
I've just done the same as you with the intention of parting with the Z3 in the summer but I am already having 2nd thoughts

Keeping both buddy. I'd never part with my go kart Z3, done too much to it and I doubt the Z4 won't stupid grin on my face...ha! However, when not allowed to be a hooligan (with the wife) I'll take the Z4. With what you have hinted in mind, I've got the option to rid.

Don’t know if you saw this Pete. Niall posted it earlier.
