You should record it and upload it to youtube..

Z4 uses chains, so you dont need to change them unless it is damaged. There is an accessory belt, the one that drives water pump, ac, etc..

Belts depends on mileage & other conditions.. ie a 5 year old belt can be weather to the point that it needs to be changed.
