I posted a few pics on z4um but have since treated my baby to a bit of Zymol Vintage action... :D
Awesome car, when I saw white in the flesh I was in love. Trying to remember from Z4um here, but did you have it on order for a while?

Good memory - I certainly did have it on order for a while (so long in fact, that sixspeed managed to buy a nearly new white one and kit it out with the CSLs before mine arrived...!)

You may also remember the hassles I was having with the stealer (basically being a bunch of incompetent monkeys!)

I've finally managed to sort out a reasonable amount of compensation and hope not to have to see them until the first service is due (which I will be paying for with my £500 voucher received as part of the compensation... :D )

500? I was quite pleased I got 250 + free SatNav upgrade to 07/02 but mine was just a terrible delivery.

I ended up with the £500 voucher towards servicing, £250 worth of accessories and the strut brace free (although they refused to fit it because it's not an ///M product and I had to wait for the third one to be delivered because the first two had parts missing... :roll: )

Should have thought about asking for the SatNav upgrade too - maybe I'll do that when I go for my test drive in the new M3 that was promised as soon as their demo arrives... :wink: :D

Good afternoon Mr Gearbox... :wink:

Right back at ya (again!)... :P

Speaking of gearboxes, how are you finding the CDV mod?

Maybe this isn't the thread for it, but a quick update / review would be much appreciated.

The one big thing I miss about my S2000 is the gearchange and, while I know I'm never going to get the Z4MC's to be as good, I'm interested in anything I can do to move it in the right direction... :D

I did the mod on my 3.0, but not on my M as I find the gearchange on the M a lot easier then on the 3.0. Don't think the effect is as great on the M as it is on the other models ...

Flymo,

The update on the CDV, is that it's so good now, I'd completely forgotten about it! Whereas before I had lots to complain about and it would bug me over and over, now I just drive it like a "normal" car and I'd completely forgotten it was a problem to start with!

I am removing the CDV on another Z4M in a weeks time, so might create a how-to for the M ...
