Hello from the North East - modifications thread

Post by saj77 » Sun Feb 03, 2019 4:33 pm

Hi all,

Signed up to do my research on the Z4 - I’m finding the forum a great source of info :thumbsup:

Always liked the original and looking to buy a 3.0 Z4 Roadster E85 - just for a weekend toy.

My daily driver is a Mercedes ML, so no real fun factor there or scope to mod/toy with it!

Hoping I can find one from a forum member, in Grey , Silver or Red only.

Looking for a nice clean example (ideally with the essential mods done, like roof motor relocate) but standard is fine too as it’ll give me something to do! Already have plenty of ideas from the forum :D

Budget is flexible for the right car and willing to travel

Thanks for looking.

Saj

I'm just down the road in Darlington. I'm zedless these days as I've sold up to go back to college but if you find one you like I'd be happy to come and give a second set of eyes. I'm sure I've got Durham Daves number somewhere for when you want your roof motor moving.

Whereabouts in Darlington are you? Spend a fair but of time around there as my sister lives near Abbey Road Sports Field. I really like that part of town
