Hi

A quick intro I've just treated myself to a Z4 2.5 SE previously had a Z3 the difference between the two are vast the 4 is a much nicer place to be.

I will post some pictures up at the weekend once I've given it a clean and sort out a signature.

I have a problem with the forum display on my tablet, each post header takes a whole page/screen making the forum difficult to navigate using android other forums display correctly, I can't see anything to change in the settings, forum displays fine on my phone.

Mods I've got planned
Debadge
Stainless exhaust tips
Refurb wheels has 108's but looking tired
Drilled brake discs probably go for 300mm but might change my mind and step upto 325mm
Might go for wheel spacers is the best size 12mm on the front and 15mm at the rear.

Forum has been a wealth of knowledge so far looking forward to Z4 ownership.

Hi and welcome - E85 well done sir :thumbsup:

Quite few members in your area and I think there was a thread a few months ago about holding local meets - try the search function to find it. Of course one of them will be along soon to confirm or say I made it up!

Don't take too long with the photos :wink:

I think the meet was for the 3rd when we got all the snow, I didn't have the car then.

I will get some pictures up by the weekend, I bought it in black, last black car I had was an Opel Manta Gte, I remember what put me off, black cars needs cleaning daily to look good, sorted out the display issue, seemed my history wasn't clearing.

Thanks for the welcome

Hi & welcome, it'll be great to see some photos.
I had the exact same thing recently on my tablet, not on my mobile. I'm using Chrome & the only way I could cure it was to go into settings, clear browsing history, advanced & delete all my history, cache including saved passwords. I then had to login to the forum again. No issues since. :thumbsup:

I see you just beat me to it :wink: . Glad you got it sorted. :D
