Hello from Dubai

Post by Tilo » Sun Feb 23, 2020 4:37 pm

Hi all,

Just bought a 2004 Z4 3.0i manual, originally from the US.
Always fancied one.
I was looking for a second car, fun to drive and so I don't put too much mileage on my other car.
Got a nice deal on this one (I think).
Looks pretty solid so far.
Pictures below from when I got it.
Some mods done already:

- removed all lettering
- painted over rear side markers
- fitted facelift climate controls (metal trim knobs) and changed from F to C
- replaced rear taillight from yellow/red/white to red/white's
- replaced red third brake light for white
- replaced yellow side indicators with white's
- removed rear muffler
- painted front lower grill to match kidney grills

Looking to change cluster from miles to km, change rims and remove the yellow headlight reflector next.
Waiting to get my OBD cable and learn how to work with NCS Expert.

Cheers!
