Hello! New-ish Z4 Driver

Post by Rsipad » Mon Jul 11, 2022 10:13 pm

Hi everyone,

This is my 2006 BMW Z4 with 76K miles. I have previously been active on the forum (checking what's going on every week), but felt nervous making this post. Now I guess I'm here haha. So here's some information about the car: it is a Montego Blue 3.0i roadster which has been in my family for over 10 years. My parents moved on, seeking more comfortable, practical cars and now I am old enough to drive (been driving for about 2 years now), so the Z4 is my daily.

Some modifications I've done over the past year and a half:
Backbox delete, 3 inch tips
Storm Motorwerks shift knob
Spacers: 15mm front, 20mm rear
Black kidney grilles, wheels
Hardwired Vantrue N4 dashcam

In addition to this, I've done very basic maintenance like cleaning and detailing the interior, cleaning engine bay, headlight restoration, waxing the paint, replacing the 10 year old tires (:o), getting an alignment, and replacing the battery. Overall, I'm hoping to meet new Z4 drivers in my area, mod the car, continue keeping it in good shape, and having fun!

Hello and welcome to the forum, you car looks great and from the registration plate and steering wheel being on the wrong side I’d say you are from the USA, it must be a great place to own and drive a convertible. :thumbsup:
