Hi all, I purchased my new to me z4 a few weeks ago. Just getting to know it and make a list of the things I need to sort out! Some of you may recognise it as the previous owner was a member on here. I’ll have quite a few questions in the coming months I suspect!

May she give you many trouble-free miles! The tyres were an advisory from her last MOT, hopefully, they have been replaced. Watch the oil level, they can be a little thirsty. The cooling system should also be looked at, the expansion tank, thermostat, and pipes are rather brittle but the previous owners may have replaced them.

Welcome aboard. Nice looking car. Even better with the roof down.
Not sure what plans you have but at that age it should have all the looms in place for adding stuff like cruise, folding mirrors etc if you don’t already have them.
Huge amount of info on this forum and if you can’t find what you need just ask.
HQ of 'Norfolk Zed Rescue'.
Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

Thanks all. Plans at this stage are to fix all the immediate issues, then I’ll be looking to take it to some Autosolos and Sprint events next year.

Hardtop fits fine, I think it’s just the angle of the photo!
