At 6'4" I finally found my Convertible

Post by Muztang63 » Sat Apr 14, 2018 6:22 am

Hello Fellow Z4 owners, I've been searching for a comfortable convertible for my 6'4" frame and fell into a 2007 BMW Z4 Roadster 3.Oi Automatic (paddle shifters) with the sport and premium packages.........92K miles, paid $7800 for this gem from a fellow retired Veteran (USAF, but veteran the same :D). He stated he put 16K miles on the Z4 during the five years he owned it (and only changed the oil himself during this period). I took it into the BMW Dealership (Stealership) for it's first (and only BMW dealership visit) check-up and dropped a few grand (Valve Cover gaskets, Transmission leak, plugs and wires.....labor was outrageous), at least now I know the car is sound! Bought some new shoes (wheels), awaiting my BMW center caps, tinted the glass, waxed her and heading to a car show (to observe) this weekend! Great forum for this Newbie, lots of great info, I'm already loving this car!

Future Love:
BMW center wheel caps (ordered classic blue/white and black/white.....will probably go with classic)
A good interior clean (doing myself)
New mats (on hand)
Having Brake Calipers painted (red)
Possible upgrade of stock radio..........?
Magnaflow 11379 muffler and polished tips (about $300 out the door)

Welcome to the forum. Very individual looking Zed. :thumbsup: Stealer prices, yup I did exactly the same thing. One main service and then found a great little indie. Enjoy your new p&g. :D

PS 6'4" ? Perfect height, for a Zed Roadster. :)
