That explains it - thought it was set up for oval racing

Haha, in that case I'm going to disappoint you!

The only thing I'm considering is a de-baffle of the backbox. I may have a look at the brakes somewhere along the line because one of the previous owners decided it was a good idea to paint the stock calipers red

They're now black again but still look s**t.

If you do one thing, then get a ZHP gearknob, for £50 it makes the world of difference to the gear change.

Would love to see some more pics of a fully paint corrected and coated MC...get them added

Look ace!! I too am a lurker, looking to purchase a Z4Mc in June. Just waiting to find the right one at the right price, with the correct maintenance done as per your car!

Enjoy.

Is that gearknob part number 25117896886?

I might add new pics. Been too busy driving it to take photos. I'd highly recommend a paint correction if yours is anything like mine. 13 years is a long time to accrue scratches.

That's the one - link here:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-BMW- ... SwLklcrLFu

I've had them in my last two Z4s and really like them.

Some would argue that is the correct location for the M badge

The Z4, for some reason, is the only model that gets the M badge on the left side

Great looking car man! Is that first photo in one of the villages on the A3400?? Sure I recognise the buildings around

Good luck with it all anyway, hope you get to enjoy many miles

and if you are based somewhere in the Northern Cotswolds, I’d definitely recommend Everything ///M3’s for your maintenance, Darragh’s a great guy
