20 Year old newbie...with first ever mod

[DLegendD]

Have had my Z4 for a week now so thought I'd say hi, it’s a 2003 2.5i in Sterling Grey, bought from a previous member. Before I bought the Z, I had been spending everyday reading up about them through this forum, very knowledgeable.
My previous car was a 2004 Ford Fiesta so a big difference, time had come to get rid of it and have always loved the look of the Z4's so thought why not
Everything has been running perfectly (so far) so very pleased, here’s some pics:
First drive back:




My first Mod... Stubby! Aerial just wouldn't budge so unscrewed from inside, left to soak in WD40, still no movement. So placed aerial into vice and eventually got it apart:



Much better

Hi and welcome.
Nice motor and good man for putting a stubby on.

You're doing well owning a zed at 20.

The slippery slope that is a stubby ..

Ha thanks for the replies guys. Loving the car... work and save for something you really like is the best way to go.
Get alot of the 'saxo' guys wanting to race at the lights, tempting but no. :lol:

@tomscott : The tires are Duran Performance A-One, have read they're not the best but had a load of tread left when i bought the car so they'll do.

Am after a new third brake light and front roundel/badge but cannot find anything online, best to go to the dealers and have them order in?

I sourced my replacement third brake light from the US, but have bought a load of stuff recently from a very helpful chap at Arden BMW Maidstone.

Drop him an email for a quote mate. Tell him I sent you. :wink:

Think the clear facelift one is around £60 including the lower tension springs (a must, as they original ones cause the corners to crack) and nuts. I bought another red one as it goes better with the black paint (think yours would look better with the clear one though).

The badge can be sourced via eBay, or try this chap (Ian) - [email protected]

Best of luck.

Cheers.

Thinking about it, ask Bob at Arden for a quote on a replacement roundel. May do a better price if you buy both (third brake light and badge).

Thanks very much I'll give him a message and see what price he comes up with, hopefully won't be too bad.

Welcome mate, I got mine at 20 too (only 21 now), great age to own a Z 8)

Great looking car I like the wheels but I must say I wondered about the tyres too
