My new z4

[Sludgepump]

Not a new member as such -this is my second Zed

Japanese import in Maldives Blue with 53,000 miles on the clock

Looking to replace the brushed aluminium with a slab of wood for a more classic look. Anyone got some wood going spare?

Not sure about the alloys either. Would like to return it to stock with a set of daisy 103's (I know, I know, but
I quite like them). They've got runflats on them but the ride is nowhere as near as bad as I expected, having only
ever driven on normal tyres.

Checked the roof drains (all clear) and have already fixed a saggy roof lining thanks to a 'how to' on here

I've also attached a picture of the front lights with their black reflectors instead of the usual shiny chrome ones. Also
front indicator is white which is unusual for a pre-face-lift model

That sir is a good find

Personally I think 107s look great on Maldives cars

There was a thread with someone looking for wood trim on here that pointed to Facebook as someone was selling there

Welcome! And 10/10 for pictures too!

What engine is that Sludge....?

Looks great, change the wheels as you say and all's good.

[Smartbear]

Great colour, is your zed a 2.5? I think it was the 3litre cars that had the silver reflectors & the 2.5 got black ones.

Hi and welcome back to Z4 ownership - they can be addictive.

I really like the wheels it has but I appreciate they aren't OE ones. I'm not a fan of the Daisies but I like the Turbines and 107s.

Anyway enjoy getting it how you want it.

Hello and welcome to the forum - clean looking zed

[DMike]

Great find, a sharp looking zed in one of the finest colours. I like the 103s too (have kept mine in storage for later use). 107s, like bigwin suggested, look fabulous on maldives blue zeds.

Nice Zed, welcome to the forum!

Thanks all
Meant to say - its a 3 litre

Looking good. Enjoy your new Zed.

Lovely clean example. Like you said, wheel change and all good!

[N4LLY]

Most excellent ! Congrats'

Welcome to the forum, great looking car, looks so much nicer with the non orange indicators. Personally I don't mind the wheels you have on the car.

[Z4mal]

Great looking car and certainly the best colour …but I’m biased welcome!

Gorgeous car. The wood will look really nice.

I recently bought a Merlot 2.5i and added plane wood trims.

Found it on eBay;

May not be to everyone’s taste, but I think the wood trims are so luxurious.
