New Copart Auction Buyer - 04 2.2 E85, 6 weeks and many mods in...

Post by ljcollingham » Sun Dec 11, 2022 9:11 pm

Hi All,

As per the subject line, bought my 04 roadster 6 weeks ago now as a modding project since completing my X3 build.

Ive been documenting my ownership from winning the Copart auction through the series of mods and yesterday installing a hardtop via a google image folder: https://photos.app.goo.gl/X4mmBdzfp75CZY1QA

Really enjoying my Z4 experience so far and have joined here to gain further inspiration, share ideas and join the owner community etc.

Thanks in advance,

Lloyd

Hi and welcome to the forum Lloyd.

Going by your photos it doesn't look like it had much damage, so it's good to see it being rescued. :thumbsup:

Hi, thanks for the welcome, yeah she escaped serious injury (CAT N) - just the drivers wing to swap out and a new engine under shield to fit. :)

Thanks Stuart, can't wait to bring her over. Even though it's only 45-60 mins, it'll be the longest/furthest I've driven her so far...
