Hi
I got my 2003 Merlot red 3.00 Se last July, 38k miles 12 year old Potenza runflats and a new steering column courtesy of the previous owner.
I have learned loads from this forum so thought I would introduce myself and my Z4.

Been kept tucked up during the winter, only venturing out on sunny days. I didn't want to go down the gunk in tyres and inflator route so I have fitted new Pirelli P-Zero which have made a vast improvement. The most improvement came through getting a 4 wheel alignment done as previously all four wheels were out, I am surprised she didn't just turn around her longer axis.

I know I should post images and have them ready but am struggling.

Cheers

Hi and welcome - click on the add files button below the message box; then select your pics (should be just like you would for emails) then click the 'place in line' option from the box below the box you're writing in - you'll find it!

I'm sure Marlon hadn't added instructions when I started typing :rofl:

welcome to the forum (at last) - that's a lovely looking Z4 you have found in a great colour combination. :thumbsup:

I had a 123d with M-sport suspension on run-flat P-Zeros before I got my first Z4, and they were much more comfortable than the Bridgestone Potenzas Z4s always have! :)

Hi all, thanks for your welcome and positive response to my Z. I believe Merlot red is the best colour ( I may be biased though). I do find myself going into the garage and just looking at it, worse making apologies that it's cold and wet outside so she/ he ( can't decide too butch to be a she surely!) is in the best place. :?
