Hi all,
I've owned BMW's before but never a Z4. Just picked up a 2006 2.5i Sport in Ruby Black. Its just coming up to 58k and seems to be a very well looked after car.
I've already gleaned a lot of info from the forum in the short time I've been reading so thanks for that already. Hope to learn more and maybe meet a few others. I'm Bucks area.
At the moment not too many plans for it other than to enjoy it although I may get a remap just to give it a little more pep?

You mean apart from swapping it for one with a proper roof?
Looks lovely - what's the strange orange dot above the rear tyre?

Cheers guys....
Proper roof ..I needed a drop top back in my life (used to have an mx5 years ago) plus I've just come from 8 years of motorcycle only (Fireblade) ..so not ready to be fully caged in yet.
The orange dot is my editing skills, must have added it when cropping the image...either that or its an alien orb.
Couple of things...
I need to get the Bluetooth pin from the module in the boot. If I do this, will music work once paired or is it only calls? It has Business stereo with mic on steering column. If not I'll need to either get the Bluetooth adaptor to the back of the stereo or do the aux input mod.
Also, didn't realise until today but love the hill assist...never knew it had that.
Remaps....go with any as much of a muchness or any specific/ favourite. I know it will only go from 170ish to 193ish but I think it'll be worth it? I have a quantum chip guy 5 mins from my house at £249 for a remap.

Who buys a roadster then welds a roof on?
You all sound a little insecure to me.

Welcome to the forum, lovely looking car.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
