Yea I got it from harry fairburn (spelling?!) BMW via eBay. It will 100% fit a z4 - all the knob fittings across the range old and new are exactly the same!

You’ll have to excuse the mark in front of the stalk - i got a bit carried away with the sanding part of the dremel - have since managed to sand and paint it out but haven’t taken a picture. The install was actuallly very simple using all the guides on this forum.

Took advantage of the nice weather to take the seats out and give the interior a proper clean!

Nice work. This is a must for any Z4 owner who likes clean cars.

I found all sorts of rubbish underneath my seats. McDonalds chips, money, you name it :lol:

Up to warwick on Friday with work and averaged 43mpg! Not bad from a 3 ltr! Having six gears makes a real difference - I was driving between 60-70 the whole journey as busy rush hour. Image
