Help! Bought a Z4 like this, any ideas what was here and what these cut cables mean?

New to the forum:)
I got my first Z4 a few weeks ago and absolutely in love. I have the 3.0 SMG Model.

I found part of the firewall removed and some cut cables which is messing with my OCD. Does anyone have an idea what this could be?

unless I'm getting this very wrong you appear to be missing an ABS pump??

I thought similar, but then wondered................is this left- or right-hand drive?

It’s a left hand drive, not the UK model.
If the abs pump is missing that would be quite bad.
It’s the 2005 model also, if it helps

How about the brake servo

Has that been moved?

Surely it doesn’t matter if it’s LHD or RHD where stuff goes- the right hand side of the uk engine bay is the fuse/relay box?

Yup, just looked at mine (RHD) and of course the brake servo etc is all there.
Underneath is the same big grommet that you have, but on mine there is the loom coming through like yours, but all the others are blank (short tubes but the rubber seals across the ends)
So this must be something the UK didn't get?
Got a few members in the US and Europe, hopefully one of them can help you?

I'd think the brake servo would be right above the brake pedal regardless wouldn't it?

Stuart, does yours have the BF grommet underneath? Has it only got the central loom coming through?

if it helps here is a US spec engine bay I think
