:lol: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: You Nutty Scouser. :thumbsup:

OP ignore this man, he is certifiable and a Scouser. :wink:
Can't be sure who you're referring to as a scouser :? I'm a Londoner, of London heritage, a rare breed 8) Maybe it's my accent when typing :? I did visit Birkenhead once.
Chris_D & me like, are the Scourers. :wink:
Thanks for owning up to that :wink: I'll now read both your posts with a scouse accent like 'Brookside'. Do you have a perm? :poke:

I'm chuckling reading this, I did live in Liverpool a long time ago when I was about 11, but since then never been back but I still support Liverpoool FC and there is no doubt that scoucers have the best sense of humour in the world.

Thank you this is useful information. Any ideas where I can source a replacement one for passenger side or best to just go to BMW?

Car looks great OP. :thumbsup: I prefer a lighter interior on a black car, and yours has serious low mileage as a bonus!

Interesting that you have gelled with it already, when you just didn't get on with your E90 M3. Maybe the M3 is more of a GT than a sportscar?

The 10 speaker stereo is fantastic, especially in a cabin as small as the Z4! I'm off to check out Pendulum now - if you like Queens of the Stoneage I'm hoping for good things!

I'm heading up to Scouseland this week for Iron Maiden at the Echo Arena on Saturday night - my Mrs is a Scouser so I know how to pronounce Shiirt! :lol:

Thanks mate. My own personal feeling is that the M3 is definitely more of a GT car. It's just a normal car when you're not gunning it. If I had my time with it again though I'd consider the e93 which I think would give it another angle with a bit of roof down fun.

Hope you like Pendulum :D not necessarily a natural fit for a Queens of the Stoneage fan although you might just like it! Enjoy Iron Maiden that should be special :thumbsup:

Thanks - from what I have read the E9* Ms only seem to come alive at speeds best suited to tracks or German Autobahns! :lol:

I'll try Pendulum anyway - you never know!

Welcome aboard.

Ebay or breakers etc is the usual route. Dealers are horrendously expensive, especially if you have xenons. Before you buy anything I would double check they are the proper ones from a 2.0/2.2 or 2.5 and not 3.0 ones where someone has painted the inners. If you want to go back to the standard 3.0 look you will need a pair with the silver inners

Birkenhead , as a kid we used to call it Broken 'ed.
Went for a pint there a couple of weeks ago. Nice Camra pub ( Gallaghers) complete with its own barbers :) but the wildlife was still pretty scary after chucking out time (those gals really would break yer 'ed as well as some other parts) :o

Now with cruise control and Mediabridge :driving: Gold wheels HAVE BEEN SACKED.
