Z4 M Project - Sapphire Black

Post by Philly_Sweden » Mon Feb 29, 2016 8:04 pm

Hi.

This will be a small project/photo journal for those who are interested.

My name is Filip, 31 years old from Sweden.
This is my second Z4 M, I had a Sepang Bronze earlier which some of you guys might know about

I am a real M fanatic and this is my 8th M.

You can see all of them here if you want to:

Well, on to my current car :)

The project will be about "restoring" it to mint condition. I would say the condition is 7 out of 10 but in a couple of weeks it will be 9,5/10 :)

I have also ordered the M strip for the passenger side and also ordered new pedals, dead pedal and plastic covers in the trunk that had scuff marks

Next week it will have its front bumper and side skirts repainted then polished and waxed

Stay tuned :)

Hi Filip,

What a great thread, one which I will follow with interest! You clearly love an M car given your history of ownership!
I do remember your sepang bronze M and always thought how tidy, clean and well cared for it was.

I look forward to seeing more as your thread progresses and seeing this latest beauty become a 9.5/10 :thumbsup:

I'm very envious of your view from the kitchen window as well!

X3 radio buttons look good! Do you have a part number at all?

I can't get over the view from your kitchen window :!: I need that to relieve the boredom of washing the dishes. (I'm guessing you have a dishwasher though :wink: )

I remember your Sepang Bronze Zed, especially a picture you posted with a background of Forrest.

I too will be following this thread.

From your pics I think that you started at better than 7/10.
