Well I have had my Z4 for a week now, sadly only had 2 really decent drives in it.

Popped it into my mechanic to change the brake discs front and rear, which has somehow evolved into removing the front bumper for a respray as there was some lacquer peeling off and I knew it was going to bug me.

So I have now got to wait a few more days to get it back but should be looking nearly perfect by then.

Watch that bank account as the modifications can come quick n fast.
Retro-fits especially dependent on what spec you have, better stereo, bluetooth, USB control, upgraded seats, auto wipers/lights, diming mirrors, Android iDrive screen etc, etc, etc

The next mod is never far away :) £22 upgrading the angel eyes to bright white was money well spent on my 2010 E89 .
There is a thread on here which ones :thumbsup:

Thanks, the various links had expired, but these look the same, so going to go for them. Will report back.

These look identical too, but half the price, not sure what the difference is...

Fitted these this evening. Very happy with the colour, match the xenons perfectly. No error messages.Like others have commented, the outer rings aren't as bright, but still definitely worth the £28.
