Tyre sizes sound OK, but maybe it's the size of the wheels that makes them seem lost - you'd need to take them off to see what size(s) and offset(s) you have as it's usually stamped on the back of them.

You could try posting a "Wanted" ad on the Classified section of the forum for your door mirror - it's free!

I hope you get the issues sorted - it's good to see a Z4 getting the TLC it deserves.
To be honest I haven't taken them off as of yet, definitely want to at some point as I'm not even sure they're genuine BBS rims (doubt it). I will definitely try that because I must have talked to about 15 different breakers now including BMW as well and no one can find one anywhere! Wasn't sure if its worth me starting a topic and uploading photos as I fix stuff?

. Having a new windscreen fitted next week!
[/quote]

I suggest before having the windscreen fitted, you show the fitter
1. The auto lights work
2. The rain sensor works

Then after fitting check 1&2 above again.

I’ve twice had past challenges with a new screen fitting, hence recommendations above

Ohhh thats a good idea actually thank you for that, do the auto lights work from the same sensor unit as the auto wipers behind the rear view mirror?

Thank you! I do, well 'rare folding mirror' the previous owner managed to put it through some French doors ripping the passenger side mirror off and so there's only one at the moment, im trying to fix it seeing as I can't find a new one anywhere but its a work in progress! I don't have any interior photos as of yet but ill take and upload some tomorrow.

Nice looking Zed in a stunning colour. Congratulations. These cars are timeless, almost 16 years old and still looking quite modern.

Thanks! Yes definitely I love the colour and they still look good at 16 as you say! Just in need of a bit of TLC.
