First off, there seems to be a ton of information out here. I'm sure it will come in handy, so far I've learned that I can change my own oil and reset the service lights.... that was something I was worried about, I usually change my oil in all my vehicles and motorcycles. I feel comfortable doing that sort of work.
My questions are these:
1: My Airbag(not the wife) light stays on constantly. Not sure if that's suppose to happen or not?? I'm assuming not.
2: My A/C isn't working, the guy I bought the vehicle from said it was the clutch on the compressor. I know that in my Ford I can simply remove the compressor and or clutch and replace it fairly easy... Should I even attempt to do this with the Z3?
3: There's a toggle switch in the center console, it appears the car has been equipped with an aftermarket anti theft system(at least there's a brochure in the glove box). I think maybe that's what the toggle switch is for?? Just not sure.
4: I cranked the wheel this morning to maneuver around my truck and I noticed after about 3 minutes of sitting there with the wheel cranked over, there was a leak of a red like oil(it looks like power steering fluid to me) it was behind the left side front tire(as you're sitting in the vehicle)... I refrain from using "Drivers Side" because let's face it, seems in this forum, that can be either side of the vehicle
But getting to work, there is no leak, no sign of one whatsoever... Did I crank the wheel too much and leave it in that position to create enough pressure to possibly push out fluid??

I love to see cars without front plates when we're over at our place in Florida. I regularly see a red Z4 at the car rental place at OIA, it looks great without being cluttered up with the front no. plate.
to the forum from West Cumbria, England. I would suggest that you have a seal that is on its way out if you've noticed small leak, as Ant says, keep an eye on it.
