Glad you didn't let your engine woes get the better of you Jamie. I remember reading when you said the 2.0 had gone bad. Your car is mint. Alpine mint of course. :thumbsup:

Good work Jingle. Love it.

As you know, I have the 3.0i SE Manual in manufactured alpine white and just ticked over 35,000 miles. Do you know how many 3.0i SE's were made out of the 51 for the UK.... I am now even more intrigued how rare mine might be if there was only one Si. What is the difference between the SE and SI?

SE v SI? Pre Facelift / Facelift?

As mentioned, I'm still bloody curious how many white Pre Facelift 3.0i Roadsters were made for the UK....mine could be 1 of 1 or not much more in view that there were only 51 alpine white models across 4 engine sizes / pre facelift / facelift. Does anyone know where this information can be found?

Si is an engine spec, so the si was available as se & sport variants - all si cars are facelifts (post 2006) :thumbsup:

Your friend who did the work has done an excellent job. I assume he's done similar before? Was there much electrical and computer-y stuff to sort out?

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh, so if you're down Hargham Road way, pop in for a cuppa so I can have a nosey.
The guy who done it has a unit down west carr road and had his own Z4, an older pre facelift m54 engined car which he put a supercharger on, but has broken/sold it now. Once it’s on the road I’ll pop round and put it side by side with yours, there’s a couple of wires that I would like to check are in the correct place (not sure if they go over or under etc.)

The wiring was done in Norwich by EAC, and from what I’ve been told it was a nightmare are and it was much more work than anticipated :oops:

Hopefully the weather starts warming up soon and I’ll see you around town with the roof down! :driving:
Finally spotted you last Sunday, coming out of the Besthorpe turn on the slip road.
I was in the black 2.2i, waving madly over the top of the windscreen. :D
Didn't get much chance to view yours but it definitely sounded like the exhaust is working. :rofl:
Glad it's back on the road where it belongs.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Funnily enough, I had a brief run out with Jingle driving on Saturday morning!

OMG!!!!!!!! What a drive and sound. Not only does it look the part and goes like stink.

Fair Play! :evil: :evil: :evil:
