Well fortunately the condition of car's interior + exterior does not match what was under the bonnet :cry:

Crikey - you blink and there's another Z4 in Mr Wilk's ownership!

Grey and red is a great combination and it looks like a very tidy E89. Good work on that engine bay too! Really revived it.
Glad to hear you're enjoying it already and looking forward to your trip to Scotland.

I may have missed your reply to this question already but do you still have the E85 or did you 'chop that in'?

Good work that man! Glad to see another itch scratched! :driving: :thumbsup: :)

Looks very nice, you really don't hang around so you!

So what are you doing with the recently acquired E85? Are you keeping that as well or is it going up for sale?
I'm not sure we actually have any memebers who currently own both an E85/6 and E89, maybe you could start a trend. :thumbsup:
Did you ever fully resolve the steering issues on the E85?
