Your Z4 looks great, but you seem to have some other BMWs to go with it - lovely!
I do - 3 more! e23, e28 and e39...

Fitted a Seat Occupancy Mat Emulator £6.50 from Ebay and it cleared my airbag fault. What a result.

The rain stopped and the sun appeared, so went over it quickly with some Williams wash & wax, leaves a nice glossy finish.

Then done a bit of maintenance. Bonnet catch was really stiff, so greased that up and it's working nicely now.

Then stood back and checked out the ride height with the Bilstein B4's and eibach springs. Front sits a little high, compared to the old knackered shocks, but it clears speedbumps now and doesn't bounce everywhere, so it's better as a daily driver.
