:D :D Hi people from a new Z4 owner with a big grin on his face !!
Picked my 2010 Z4 3.5 in sapphire black up on Friday afternoon. What a peach of a car, already covered 300 smiles, a good few of those with the roof down yesterday, brilliant !!
Can anyone advise me on tyres please, stick with run flats or go with conventional ?
Thanks in advance.

Michelin, Vreds or Eagle F1’s seem the preferred boots of choice for premium NRF tyres... though welcome welcome

As far as the photos go it's quite easy!

When you post a comment there is a button on the bottom left for "Add files" - just click on that then browse until you find the one(s) you want and select them. You can always use the Full Editor & Preview to be sure you've got what you want before you Submit your post.

Sorry I can't help with your question about mapping, but I think it's pretty popular!

Car looks great OP! :thumbsup:

I don't know too much about E89s, but from what I have read if those are 19" wheels you really don't want run-flats on them - that's how you get cracked wheels when you hit a pothole! :(
