Hi everyone.

First post here

Just bought my first Z4, 2003 2.5 sport titan silver.

In need of a little work to get her back to her glory. But that's what I was looking for.
Looking forward to all the help and advice from all you experts out there.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

Enjoy getting it back to its best, and don't be surprised if people want to see photos of it!

Welcome to the forum, as others have said, photos please. :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

Hi guys
As requested photos here.
Jobs required are,
Drivers side seat bolster needs looking at (worn)
Passenger seat electric forwards backwards not working
Wheels need refurb.
Roof not latching fully when retracted (locking shut)
Some internal trim needed as cracked and been botched together.
Gear knob needs replacing (twists around)
Full service needed.
Advice needed on camber rears seem very inward.
Top needs deep clean (Already purchased a carbusonic kit)
Only 53000 miles on the clock and mechanically seems sound but needs the tlc to get it back to where I'd like it.

Certainly looks smart and that's really low mileage. Good luck getting the niggles fixed. :thumbsup:
