Common BMW Z4 Problems
Known issues to watch for when servicing your BMW Z4.
Regular Wear Items
Low SeverityBrake pads and discs wear over time and need periodic replacement. South African driving conditions, including hilly terrain and stop-start city traffic, can accelerate brake wear. Budget for brake replacement every 40,000-60,000 km.
Battery Degradation
Low SeverityCar batteries in South Africa typically last 2-4 years due to extreme heat, which accelerates chemical degradation. Have your battery tested at each service and replace preventatively to avoid being stranded.
Suspension Component Wear
Medium SeveritySouth African road conditions, including potholes, speed bumps, and gravel roads, cause faster wear on suspension bushings, shock absorbers, and ball joints. Listen for clunking noises and have the suspension inspected at each service.
Air Conditioning Regas
Low SeverityThe air conditioning system loses refrigerant over time and should be regassed every 2-3 years for optimal cooling. In SA's hot climate, a fully functional AC system is essential for comfortable driving.
