New Zealand Z4 Owner

HI forum members from New Zealand.

Purchased a 2003 Toledo Blue 3.0 roadster with Oregon Black leather interior, 53,000 miles. Have retired, sold the E36 M3 racecar and wanted to get some fun back in to “normal” road driving and something that my wife and I could enjoy on driving trips.

Have renewed front lower bushes, spark plugs and coils, all fluids, new front and rear slotted rotors, pads and higher temp brake fluid as I will do some track days.

Enjoy the car, not disappointed but do miss the raw power and driving experience of my M3 racecar. Considering tastefully modifying the Z4 but know the law of diminishing returns and really keen on a Z4 M, if I was in the UK I would be giving Mr Wilks a call. Manual Z4’s are a rarity here, only 3 to choose from when I was looking and far as I know only 2 available at the moment. Holding off on doing anything major to my car in case I track down a M model.

Very impressed with the forum activity and look forward to being part of it.

Cheers for now - Haggisman

Oops, meant to attach photo’s, picked up the Schnitzer 18”s as they were local, goodbye the run flats and 17”
Cheers

Welcome to the forum mate.

Your car looks a treat and it also looks like you’ve owned some good’uns in the past, especially that Dakar Yellow E36 M3.

Welcome to the forum from Cornwall. Great looking Z4.

I would normally turn to my son for help with technology, but not driving tips. In timely fashion he landed in Blenheim on the flight from Wellington at 17:53 last evening, your time.

You have officially been warned.

Thanks for the warning, I’m in Wellington. Cheers
