Hi everyone - just picked up a 04 2.5 z4 with 70k miles. Super basic, manual top, etc.
I’ve done a few simple mods: black grills, stubby antenna, amber taillight delete/overlay, new shifter on the way.
Next up: new fluids, coolant system overhaul and some new wheels/tires.
Question for the group: what does everyone prefer suspension wise? My driver side is about half an inch higher than the passenger side, so thinking something is up with the springs/shocks.

Hi from Charlotte, NC
Welcome. Love a Z4 in red! Also like the overlays for the indicators too.
Suspension wise you probably have a broken spring, so cheap enough to replace all 4 with either OEM or lowering springs.

Hi from Charlotte, NC
Which springs do you recommend? I’m fine with lowering it a bit.

Think its a 30mm drop IIRC.
