Can someone give me some advice about where I may find a DOC port on my 2006 E85 Z4?

If you mean the OBD (on board diagnostic) port toconnect a code reader, on a RHD car it is located on the lower face of the dashboard above the bonnet (hood) release. I would imagine that on a LHD car it will be in a similar position.

Thanks t-tony. I think that is what I was looking for. The instructions that came with my code reader identify it as a Data Link Connector or DLC. My tablet has auto type for some words and abbreviations and I didn't notice that "typo". I did find it on my Z4. It's funny that my manual which came with the car doesn't include any information about it. Anyway, I connected my DLC to the port and it said that my car is "unsupported", so I will probably need to visit my mechanic. Thanks again for your reply.

Hi Bill, I have a Foxwell code reader which worked with my E85 Z4 and also works with my E89 Z4. Which code reader do you use ?

Tony.

ps. Hope you get to the bottom of this soon Bill.
