Are you going to get a big sticker along the door bottom saying BMW, so you can remember what that one is as well? :rofl:
You should try it, you might like it........... if you can afford it, that is :poke: :fuelfire:
Are stickers expensive :rofl: :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

Isn't it sad, I had 2 dents knocked out of my doors today, one was the size of a 5p and the other was as a result of a knob in a car park.
It's sad because I didn't take a before picture and even if I did you probably wouldn't have seen them and now the work is done you wouldn't notice because the doors look as they should....

But........I am over the moon with them :thumbsup:

This past weekend my Z4 passed it's smog test. I thought it was going to fail due to the 3SIM mod on 3.0i N52s, but it actually passed. I think the tester was a bit confused at my reaction to the news :rofl:

Today I recharged the AC. Gauge on the hose said it was in the low-mid green, but max setting felt like 70-74 Freedom units. Made it to the middle of the green section and it's actually cold now. Now I'm ready for summer :driving:

I used my 2006 Z4 Coupe as a normal runaround because my other car needs attention. I enjoyed it!
