Thanks Alan! Still really enjoying the car. The back tyres will be the same as your 19's - 255/30 I think? Just back from a blast around the country roads around Bishopton/Erskine... terrific when you put it in Sport mode

Its the wheel hubs I'm worried about. This was how my old 325i coupe went after a few months:

So far the hubs are ok on the Z4, but I'm keeping a close eye on them.

As for the tailpipe trim, I'm surprised how easy they do seem to clean, and a lot less black stuff seems to come out compared with my old car. I have actually put some of this stuff on the tailpipe trim so that any black muck comes off with a wipe:

Its also pretty good on the wheels!
