Newbie from a BMW Retailer

Post by Gaz@S8GRJ » Sat May 13, 2017 8:08 pm

Hello All :D
I've finally found and purchased a stunning example of a 2007 2.0i Sport.... this is my second Z4 as I owned one back in 2008!
Im a Sales Exec at a BMW Retailer in Cheltenham where we have just opened our brand new centre! (You must come and take a look - it's an amazing facility)
My Z4 is finished in Titanium Silver with Black Oregon leather and has a very rare individual piano black dash. Assuming it's rare with looking what is on the market!? I purchased the car as a second car for a bit of fun in the summer as I do have a company BMW with work!
Bit of help to start really.... tomorrow I'm fitting a genuine BMW wind deflector, is this pretty easy to do!??
Secondly.... the front badge, is that also pretty easy to do!? Not sure what is behind to remove pins etc!?? No idea how to post pictures lol

Badge on front will come off with a 10 ml socket the deflector don't think it will be too difficult just need to fit the runners in right position there should be a thread on here somewhere good luck pics would be nice of your ride :thumbsup:

Welcome along! I expect since you're an Exec. you'll be able to give us all nice big fat discounts if we come through you? :poke:

I'll echo another comment, where are the pics then ey?

For wind deflector if you've just got the centre section you'll have to mark out and then screw in. Use a small pilot hole. (I'm assuming you've not got the whole wind deflector kit as there are sections that go in the roll hoop sections).

For the badge you need to slip something like a zip tie cable inside (between badge and front bumper) and it pulls out. I don't think it's secured by anything... like nuts/bolts?

Welcome.... and don't forget the pics :wink:

The badge is held on by two small nuts and a locating pin. To remove, you need to take the front grills out (grip at the top and gently pull out and down) then remove the nuts from the back of the badge.
