I've got a "bad transmission" as my friend calls it. I beat my hip up at the young at of 46 after a lifetime of sport (gymnastics, tennis and distance running). I'll be having an artificial hip joint placed on Monday! Tomorrow though the Z4 gets good bath before a short hibernation (compared to some on this board). Hope to be back behind the wheel in 4 weeks! Dang, I just got the car about 45 days ago!

Good luck on Monday, I'll blow one of my birthday cake candles out just for you. We WILL need a post-op report as soon as you have access.

Mine is napping in the garage but I'll take her out on nice sunny days as long as the streets are dry.

My friend who happened to be an athlete have had that same hip joint replacement and now his "chasis" is stronger than before "titanium" :-)
Good luck on monday, after recovery you'll be hungry to drive your Z as day-1. let us know when your hibernation is over by posting some pics for us.

How often do you start the car during hibernation?
during the flood in Bangkok my Z4 was in hibernation for 5 weeks, start the car for 10 mins every week.

Never hibernating here in the Northeast. If the roads are dry, I drive my Z4. I have a 4x4 Explorer Sport Trac if there is snow or crappy weather. I could never get through the winter without driving my car. I hate winter as it is; that would make it even more unbearable.

Would love to do the road to Hana in this if it wasn't for all the single lane bridges and the millions of other tourists.
