Hi Newbie to Z4
Morning all, just checking in from the Bath area and saying hi as we have just purchased our first Z4.
Car is a 2007 Montegoblau (think thats how you spell it) convertible 2.5 si SE, yes i know pictures, just need a little heads up on how to attach these then will sort this.
Car has it previous owners stamp on it and a few things to sort, I am slightly OCD about my cars.......small things like the bonnet and boot emblem have to be changed but big issue for me is it has been lowered, that has to go (just me) but I seriously think the speed humps around here will leave us stranded.

Hi Newbie to Z4
Welcome along
Lovely looking zed I’m also a 2.5si owner.
Like many others on here I think the e85 suits a subtle drop however I see why you want to avoid. I have become beached twice - luckily causing no damage what so ever.
I saw your other post that mentioned reinforcement plates. I was looking for these 18 months ago and they are like rocking horse sh|t. You may find that plates listed for other BMW’s fit but I went with a strut brace to do the job. You won’t be raising the ride height unlike plates and the brace will stop any Mushrooming.
