Howdy folks, another Z4um refugee here. This fourm looks good, so a big hello from Houston.
Recently picked up a 2006 M Roadster. It's actually currently in the service shop (Momentum BMW) to get a front suspension/brace/strut popping sound looked at. Has around 4000 miles on it. The pop/creak happens during any sort of body torque (speed bump, pothole and so on). Could be a loose brace? Momentum BMW had to drive another M just to make sure it was not normal...
A number of members of Z4um had heard the same thing. I'll let y'all know how it turns out. Also the roof is closing kinda heavy (with a heavy clunk). I used to have a 2004 Z4 3.0i, roof used to lock shut much more quietly. Otherwise it's a great car as of course you all know. I checked out the Cayman and even a 911, but couldn't do it.
Looking forward to being a part of the group.
