Hi All,

My first Z4 freshly bought today. Its an oldie but a goodie - a one owner 2004 SE 3.0, with less than 30K on the clock, full BMW service history and totally immaculate (as far as I can tell) inside and out. Hope to keep it for a few years and improve it with subtle mods if they appeal . I previously had a VW Corrado VR6 and enjoyed tinkering with that for many years.

Welcome to the forum OP. :thumbsup:

Enjoy. :driving:

Thanks for the warm welcome chaps. Only have a dealers shot of the interior at the moment. It has heated seats and multi CD changer and the rest is standard I think unless headlamp jet wash and memory seats were extras?? :|

That's identical to my interior apart from the gear stick. Electric heated seats were an extra as were headlamp washers

Thanks - I fell in love with it at first sight - had to buy it!! I was surprised how quiet it was even when being pushed. I might think about some tweaks to the exhaust - is that a an easy thing to change??

Absolutely, lots of owners on this forum have modified their exhausts - search the forums for ideas but I'm sure somebody will be along soon with some advice :wink:
