RBM, bumper & front fogs

Post by BostonJohn » Sat May 01, 2021 6:31 pm

Hello all, I’m a new owner of about 3 weeks sorry I’ve posted before. My Z4 is a 2.5si in Carbon Black. It had a new roof motor last Sep but it was not relocated so I’ve booked in with Ross at RBM to move to the boot. Had the estimate for bumper repaint as it’s stone chipped and has a scuff on one side so I’ll book that in next week.
Stuff to do the infamous water pump and thermostat as I’m booked on the ferry to Spain next summer, deferred from this year for obvious reasons!
While the bumper is off does anyone know if front fog lights for a coupe are the same as the roadster? I’ve seen the thread about car parts 4 less but they only list coupe fogs. If not I’ll get the hairdryer out as they are full of moisture.
Other things to do? Of course!!! I’d like new discs and painted callipers, coil packs and plugs maybe.
The list is endless so I won’t bore you but it’s all part of the fun, isn’t it!

Thanks for any input.

If you are going to RBM for your roof motor relocation you could get Ross to do your water pump and thermostat while you are there, unless you'd rather replace them yourself.

I had the same problem with the fog lamps on my previous Z4 - drilling a few holes in the bottom of the lenses helped quite a bit.

Keep having fun! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the replies. I will get the water pump done before I go to Spain next year but won’t really use my car until then. I did about 300 miles a year in my last Z until I went to Spain. I do plan to get Ross to give her the once over so I know how much to budget for.

Thanks again
