Post by Stevgolf001 » Fri Mar 26, 2021 5:04 pm

Afternoon all,

Just picked our first Z4 3.0, firstly many thanks to timmyboybunter for first finding it, secondly test driving it for us and providing some excellent advice.
Have also pinched a few of your original pics as I understand pictures are compulsary. :D
As can be seen needs a dam good clean and a bit of TLC but that's part of the fun.
I am sure I will be on here quite a bit seeking your advice and expertise.
Will keep people updated on progress but first thing booked in is a service.
Cheers Steve

    I know they are only 17s but I love the look of those Turbine wheels, and hope you can get it up to scratch fairly easily. :thumbsup:

    If it came with the plate in the photos that was a bonus!

    Ah, smashing - glad it all worked out :thumbsup:

    Yes I would have washed, serviced and flipped it if you didn't go for it - so I'm actually glad you did :rofl:

    Turbines look great. Really suits the Z4.
    I’m sure with a bit of elbow grease and it will be sparkling and looking tip top soon enough.
    Congrats on the purchase. :driving:

    Can't believe how clean that is - almost the exact opposite to mine :thumbsup:

    Anything unexpected tripped you up so far?

    Nothing yet, did have the coolant light come on a few times but no leaks and coolant is topped up. Didn't come on today though and booked in for full service next week so hopefully that will be sorted if still an issue. Just waiting for all the upgrade parts to arrive :thumbsup:
