Hi from Sheffield!
Ey up!
I recently picked up an 03 plate 3.0i e85.
My ongoing (soon to be for sale) project/daily was a mk2 MX5 that's now reached a point where the next upgrades would be forced induction, so instead of going down the turbo or supercharged route and spending lots of money, I opted to start all over again on a nice Z4
Here's a couple of pics of it for anyone that cares:
And here's the Z4
It's completely standard at the moment bar the front lights from what i can gather.
I replaced the oil separator a couple of days after purchasing it as it was seeping a fair bit of oil and now it just wants a set of front control arm bushes and a service before I can get onto more fun stuff
I don't know if you have a build/progress thread section on here but i'll be sure to stick one up as i go along if so.

Hi from Sheffield!
Welcome.
Looks like the 2xcite halo headlights that seem popular with a fair few people.
Is that a pug i spot in the passenger seat?

Hi from Sheffield!
Nice work on the Mk2 MX5, looks terrific. I had a Mk 2 for 6 years before my Zeds - great little sports car but difficult to make look purposeful - you've done a great job there
Good luck with the Zed

Hi from Sheffield!
Hi and Welcome!
Lovely looking MX5 you've got there! I notice you're just doing the odd maintenance side of things on the Zed for now, any plans as yet for what you want to do?

Hi from Sheffield!
Welcome to the forum. I'd love to drive an MX5, unfortunately its never going to happen so had to settle for a Zed.
Loos like you've got some replacement lights fitted, they look very smart.

Hi from Sheffield!
Cheers for the welcome everyone
The usual things really, lower it slightly, new wheels, spoiler, splitter, skirts, hopefully think up a few small unique mods along the way
