Front end! Peppered with stone chips and being a black car they're very noticeable!
I've toyed with the idea of a respray, but honestly it's used every day so I can't see it staying unmarked for long. I think I'd rather save the money for anything mechanical.
Don't get me wrong, it doesn't look bad and most people wouldn't bat an eyelid at the marks, but I've always been a bit picky over my own things!

Getting there. I'm starting to make a "hnnnggg!" noise getting in and out.

I'd love to agree with you here Colin , but I have had three Z's to date, a 2003 E85 which I sold with 82k on the clock, which was without any rattles or squeaks, and was easy to fit both MFSW and cruise to because of the looms being already fitted, and then a 2009. E89 sold with 42k on the clock, again no rattles or squeaks , and now an Z4M with 32k on the clock , and again no rattles or squeaks . Now I have to say I am one fussy bugger when it comes to buying cars , and for looking after them, so my conclusion is that I've realised your car and my car do not suffer from any of these rattles and squeaks because ......... they are both in the best colour .... Red !

An interesting theory Bryan - Red demands more attention, both on the road and on the assembly lineDietcokeman wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2017 11:23 amI'd love to agree with you here Colin , but I have had three Z's to date, a 2003 E85 which I sold with 82k on the clock, which was without any rattles or squeaks, and was easy to fit both MFSW and cruise to because of the looms being already fitted, and then a 2009.

+1 for all the points you just mentioned - couldn't have picked them better myself.z4pilot wrote: ↑Wed Jul 19, 2017 9:18 am Door pin rattling right behind my ear! Need to try the insulation tape trick - one for the weekend.... Crappy glovebox catch - can never decide whether a gentle close or sharp slam is the best tactic.... Paint that seems to scratch/chip easily, but then takes forever to buff swirls out - why??? Crashy suspension - did BMW never look at the quality of UK roads when they designed the thing? I thought they did part of their testing on Belgian cobbles, not just at the Ring...
But then I park it up, walk away, look over my shoulder and forgive it
