Well technically yesterday, but the Z4 finally had the paint correction detail I’d promised it two years ago!

Cannot believe how much better it looks and the Ruby Black really is stunning in the sunshine :)

Might have to look into getting the roof redyed now :oops:

Changed the drive end crankshaft oil seal
Fitted the new flywheel
Fitted the new clutch and release bearing etc.
Re fitted the gear box

Note to others that may want to do this themselves this is not easy on your own and on 4 axel stands in a single garage. Bit it is now in, JUST all the other little bits to re fit next weekend or the one after.

Changed my dipped beam bulbs out for Osram Night Breaker 200s as the passenger side bulb had blown. I'm still pretty underwhelmed by their output to be honest. I think I'll see if I can lift the headlights a little, but the projectors themselves could do with a clean too...

I understand what you say- and have to admit I’ve never considered it !
I think there’s a “roadworthy construction “ clause - I’m going to ask now!!!
