I'd go for the Royals retrim personally, that's what I did! Mine's on 160k too, still going strong!
Another 'thumbs up' for royals. Stick around the forum long enough, they pop up on the buy and sell section 
You're lucky the airbag light was so easy to get rid off! The door is an interesting one, assuming it was the passenger side, would that have also been a fail??

How many laps of the Nordschleife did you do in Germany? And did you have traction control on or off?
If the pads were new before, then they shouldn’t have worn to the wear indicator, especially as the rears do a lot less work than the fronts.
Also your steering wheel looks like it just needs Dodo Juice and some elbow grease. Personally I wouldn’t bother with a re-trim unless you wanted to go for Alcantara.

Hi and welcome to the forum Joel - eventually! 
I've enjoyed watching your videos, and my car appeared briefly in the one you did at the Ace Cafe in 2018!
RBM is a good choice too - my car has been there a few times this year. The car sales place next door only started focussing on Z4s after they saw how many had been through Ross' workshop. :lol:
And congratulations on your mileage milestone!

Looks like he's joined to promote his video then left....classy!
Joel, out of interest I also dropped in on your YouTube comparing an E85 2.5 Vs your own 3.0, within a few minutes you say you think yours has the M54 block, you are not sure if the 3.0 came with M-Sport suspension as standard or whether the 2.5 you are driving has it, also your 3.0 is on 17" wheels which is making it ride lower. Top stuff mate I'll ditch the lowering kit I was about to fit and drop down the 17's, thanks
..... and I'll pimp this one for you because as the title suggests, it does genuinely tell me something I didn't know about my Z4 namely the "hidden Z" in the design, thank you :lol:

Interestingly if you look at the side window it forms a 'D', the door shut-line is clearly an 'I', the wheel arch an inverted 'C' and I'm sure there will be another letter but I'm not sure what the hidden message is? :wink:
