35is Z4 log

Hi and welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:

That's the 2nd post I've read today from a new 35is owner. Enjoy it while you wait for your Lotus. Hopefully you can come up with a plan to keep it as well!

430 Exterior and interior mirrors – folding, automatically dimming (apparently the car has this but my mirrors don't fold when I lock the car is there a way to turn this on? or does anybody have some info on this?)

Probably stating the obvious but have you pressed and held the lock button for a few seconds

Congratulations on the new motor, looks great 👍
 
I'd kill for that grey! My favourite.

What are the round thingies hanging from the front bumper?

no problem stating the obvious if someones missed the obvious haha, no I haven’t, i will give that a go thank you. Previous cars i’ve had fold the mirrors from a single click at the same time as locking

i was wondering if it might throw people, my grandad took the picture out of his living room window and they are a reflection through his window

You have to press the close button on the key fob for about 2 seconds to get it folded.

Perfect thank you
 
Unless you install a Smart Top, in which case you can configure it to fold just with a single quick button press.

Would recommend the Smart Top to any E89 owner, just for the one touch roof operation alone :thumbsup:
 
That's a really nice zed you've got there, love the colour combo, don't come much nicer than that :thumbsup:
 
Hi all just updating my thread to say the car received a single stage detail + ceramic coating this weekend from epiccarcare. my first time I've had this done and it looks amazing, apparently the paint had around 100-120 micron thickness all around before works and paintwork was already in good condition only real swirling was on the black A pillars which apparently is quite common, came up a treat though as you can see in his before/after video he posted to instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNIZ6MtYCN/?hl=en

The car feels like glass now and super glossy, can't wait to get a first wash in a couple of weeks to see how the coating helps. There were some nice cars in the detailing bay too!

I love that grey!
It's a lovely colour and came up super well after the detail!

How much did it cost?
He did it for £500, I had been quoted £1000+ elsewhere but as he doesn't use a mobile van and does it from his house he has low overheads basically. Only downside is that you have to make arrangements to get picked up after dropping your car off and then also get a lift to collect your car. My car had to be in for 2 days, 1 day to detail then next day to apply the ceramic and let it harden for a bit before driving. For the money I saved though I pulled a favour from a friend for a lift!
 
With a new car coming early next year I have put my 35is up in the ads section. If you wish to see the advert you can find it here, thank you
