Bad news I'm afraid.

Dealer will NOT replace the tank/pump.

They say all cars have a noise, and even when compared to TWO other cars that I CONSIDERED DID NOT MAKE THE SAME NOISE they will not replace the tank.

I am SO P*****D OFF.

I even played the first audio clip and one other that I did where it cuts in and out http://www.davidmbell.com/z4/whine2.mov and that still didn't convince them.

They stated as there's no fault codes and as the car is performing as intended that they can't change it on the basis of the noise. IT'S DRIVING ME MAD AND ALL I HEAR NOW : (

Dealer is Scotthall BMW Leeds.

They kept saying all cars have a whine/noise, some more than others, and how a low tank would amplify the noise.

Well I've filled the tank full and it STILL whines - so much more than the two other Z4s they had at the dealership.

I'm very disappointed with the car itself and the dealership and don't know what to do now. Try another dealer? Live with it till the bl\\dy thing breaks down AGAIN!?

Seriously wondering why I bought it and didn't stick with my trusty MX-5.
