Booked in this week for discs, pads and brake hoses all round together with front wishbones and track rod ends and finally gearbox and diff fluids.

Then will be off to Cornwall, and then the Lakes the weekend after. Can’t wait.
Cars looking very good, James :thumbsup:

Cleaned it ready for Sunday. Then took it down to Seaton for a walk on the beach and a half. Came out Z4 covered from stern to bow in sea gull poop. :cry: :headbang: :headbang: :shutup:

Hope you are keeping well

Had a great day out with other forum members on a drive to Princetown across the moors. Luckily the weather stayed good so lots of roof down driving.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

    Off with the old, on with the (a bit) new(er). Car is a 2003 roadster (2.5i).
    The three fixings at the front attach the large plastic front undertray. Do the three fixings at the back attach to anything on this model? There is nothing on mine, but then I bought it with lots of bits missing.
