Thank you @Micke! I do enjoy it. For the last few years it has been the same events, mostly the same roads and places. It's not bad at all, but I should try to find something new to experience with the car. Maybe take it on a longer trip next year. Anyway, I have hopefully some nice autumn...

I find it hard to believe that my car will be 20 years old in late October! 😲

Some photos from a warm late-summers evening. I’m struggling with finding new photo spots in my surrounding area. It feels like “I have that photo already”. But maybe that is natural after having owned the Z4 for 8 years now. I still adore the design of the coupé, inside and out.

Having coffee along some of my favorite roads. The inland roads are best when looking for driving pleasure. The scenery is nice along the coastline but there is always traffic in the way. Stopping for ice cream at a local beach.

I like how the hips and the flame-surfacing shapes are enhanced by the sunlight coming from behind.

Early spring together with the daily. The V70 has been in the family since new. They are two very different cars to drive. I think the contrast between them makes me enjoy the Z4 even more when I take it for a drive. Last autumn and early this season I had a code (2E84) for the water pump in...

I haven’t got around installing the parts I bought last year yet. The current brakes are still fine. Regarding the dampers, I’m hesitating on the choice for B4. The more I read, the more unsure I get. I probably should have gone for some dampers with the proper length for M-sport springs? We’ll...

Thanks for the explanation. The Koni seems to be much more advanced damper compared to the simpler B4. Makes sense that they perform better. Like, you get what you pay for. 😅

How are they compared to B4? Sportier/stiffer? Are they comparable to B6/B8?

Where did you install the Ctek connector? In the engine compartment? Or on the battery? I have been thinking about installing a quick connector under the hood. But came to the conclusion that the wires had to be extended to make it work?
