Hi All

2007 E85 Roadster 3.0Si Auto in Rubin-metallic black, 19 inch alloys, 109k

Based in Bracknell, purchased last year and have had to do some expected (front suspension, control arm bushes, oil leak) and unexpected (Auto Gearbox light came on..ouch, totally flat battery after winter) work on it. Now running smoothly and am slowly getting round to a list of smaller jobs I would like to do, did the official wind deflector recently and stubby is on order. Not a mechanic by any means and don't have the tools to lift the car, but willing to learn and have a go on various bits. This forum seems like a great place to do that.

Spent a few hours doing a full polish and seal last weekend so good time to show a pic and sign up i think!

Will start posting in correct sections for help on bits to do shortly.

Well if you do have a set of 4 with none repaired or split you have yourself a rare set of wheels

As above those rims look great on a Z4 I always thought they would when looking at them on 3 series your car looks a very nice example

Welcome to the forum OP.

Your car looks lovely - I think a light interior works really well with Ruby Black, which looks stunning in the sun.

I'm just down the road from you in Sandhurst so will look out for you once we are allowed out to play.
