I`m not surprised it felt better after a new engine

I read it back to myself and thought ‘that’s not great grammar’ but then thought ‘I’m sure nobody will notice…’

It feels like a new engine

Trim pieces painted and nearly ready to go on. Bad light, but it is actually Maldives Blue to go with the car.

I'm liking the idea of matching the body work. Make sure you let us see once it's all fitted

looks great!!

Can I ask where you got the pedals from? Any particular reason you didn't do the accelerator pedal?

Final piece in my trifecta of ‘must haves’ for my Z… heated, electric, m-sport seats, courtesy of Rob (Usel). Massive thanks to Rob, who went the extra mile (or 150

) to not only transfer seats onto electric bases, but also swap over the occupancy sensor to make sure they worked properly and drive to sleepy West Oxfordshire to fit them for me. As Tim Nice-but-Dim would say ‘a thoroughly bloody jolly nice bloke’

I couldn’t be happier with them and they make the car an even nicer place to be!

Mr_E85Bim, got them from a Dutch BMW-related shop, but the fit and finish isn’t perfect particularly for the accelerator pedal so left that out. I’ll get myself an original set of BMW performance pedals at some point

I will. Barty’s are pro, but mine were done for chips in my cardboard paint shop.

haha I was doing my best to not mention your "paint shop"

Bartys interior is pretty special. Keep noticing stuff each time I look. That steering wheel!!

Removed the rather bright black grills and replaced them with standard ones.
