Understandable, but not forgivable!

Still, at least it’s in cleaner hands now :)

Impressive progress in such a short time though, I spent all winter doing bits and pieces that you did in a few days :lol:

My wife has been fighting cancer the last three years and as a result, has plenty of hospital procedures. She had a Suprapubic catheter bag fitted on Tuesday and is home in bed rest. I’ve booked the week of to ensure she ok, but it also means lots of tinkering time when I’m not being nurse!
The Z4 and other 2nd cars before it have been my savior and keep my head straight!

Todays update.
Finished the Oil filter changed at last and fresh oil put in. I put in 6L having drained out 4.5L. I suspect it hasn’t had an oil change in a while.
I’m having headlight issues I’m trying to sort out. The right headlight doesn’t function at all. The
xenon bulb works in the opposite side, as does the igniter, and the two of them together, but nothing works on the drivers side. I’m not really sure where to go next with that? Any suggestions?
In that note, can you buy the seals that fit into the headlight rear cover? BMW only sell the full cover. Water has got into the Right side headlight, so just as well replace both of them.
Then time for a clean. Two buckets of hot soapy water and lots of elbow grease, and it’s looking ok. It needs a good clay bat session and probably and professional cut and polish, but need to sort the passenger wing first and the other more serious bodywork issues.
Any, here are some updates to enjoy with your eyes!
Ta ta.

I am very sorry to hear that, that is not a nice incentive and I wish both of you the best with the fight.

Very good to have an exit for the pressure though :thumbsup:

This would be satisfying even if you hadn’t owned it before, going to be even more so because of your history with the car :thumbsup:

Phoenix rising from the ashes…. Well, soot at least.

There’s a phoenix yellow E85 (I think) being broken on FB - might get a front wing and door possibly. Act quick though, I think it’s getting scrapped tomorrow from the post. Location is Liverpool :|

Not sure when it’s going as this post was 23hrs ago.
