Hi new arrival
Hi everyone
Just bought a z4
Not sure how it happened but my son wrote off my mx5 and here we are.
3.0i manual and I love it
Sound generator mod already done sounds great
Car was a bit unloved when I got it but I thought there was a good car hiding underneath.
I'm sure I'll have a lot of stupid questions in due course as I try to bring her up to spec.

Hi new arrival
Welcome to the forum and Z4 ownership.
A manual 3 litre is a great choice, and it looks lovely on those 107 wheels - no wonder you love it!

Hi new arrival
Welcome aboard! Keep your son away from the keys, these young ones are not used to rear-wheel drive.

Hi new arrival
Thanks everyone
I'm pleased with the car generally and I really wanted this spec with these wheels/engine/manual box and colour.
It was tricky to find a car with everything I wanted.
Roof motor already relocated and working so that's a bonus.
There's a few niggles that I need to sort
Roof is stained only faint but bugs me
Drivers door handle sticky
Water in the car and the boot
Headlamp condensation/refurbishment
Its had paint on front bumper/wings and bonnet which now I've polished it , its not the best .
But nothing major
Only big issue is it won't fit in my garage which is a shame I thought it would but obviously the mx5 was a lot smaller
It would go in but its mega tight and I think I'd probably damage the car at some point so it'll have to stay on the drive.

Hi new arrival
Probably...but you can always just ignore them if you do.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
