Evening all,

Thought I might as well introduce myself. Bought a Z4 spur of moment purchase, either that or the car was going to the scrap Yard. Poor little thing had been left neglected, all tattered, forlorn & un-cared for on a main road.

Not sure what I’ve gotten myself into, but it will be a nice little project for me and No.1 son.

Car has been parked for just over a year when it was taken off the road due to the brakes being totally shot, MOT expired in July 2018, previous owner had purchased a full set of Pagid Discs & Pads, these were thrown in the boot & part of the deal.

I''ll post up a running log in the Z4 discussion, But here's a quick glimpse of the car after a weekends work

p.s. dont mention the weeds in the Drive, The Mrs has been going spare with me about them!!!

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like the perfect reason to buy a Zed. Pop the wheels in the lounge for a few days. The Mrs will be delighted when you put them back on the drive. :wink: .

Hi and welcome.

Sadly I can't see your photo, but well done for saving a neglected Z4 - and hopefully it will be a fun project!

Hi and welcome.

Hi all,
Try that, also like the idea of the wheels in the lounge!!

 

[Mr Tidy]

Photo shows now - which is good as your car looks great!

Mind you I am a sucker for red seats. :roll:

What weeds - I've had, and seen, far worse drives than that! :lol:

You could always suggest Mrs Spoon might like to deal with them if she has an issue with them!

Mr Tidy, unfortunately I'm Not that brave, its my 50th Birthday next month - not got this far with backchat like that

Still a bit to do to the car yet, both cosmetically & mechanically, but here's a bit of red Seat porn for you

 

[srhutch]

How the hell could you scrap that.

Might saying what you paid?

 

[Spoon]

Don't Laugh in the Very low hundreds

 

[Spoon]

Oh, and £80 for a battery & £80 for recovery !!!

There’s another great thread here, though yours seems in much better shape https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=115537

Maybe you could share notes together if have similar issues, otherwise welcome

Don't Laugh in the Very low hundreds

you could get that just for the seats

That’s what I was thinking hence asking the question.

Lovely!

As others have said, your M-Sport seats are probably worth more than you paid for the car - great purchase!

Cheers Guys, itching to get it finished & out on the road, unfortunately works getting in the way!!

Hi Peter, sounds sounds like a plan, just got to get it on the road.

 

[g3org3y]

What a great project! Silver paintwork + red seats = win IMO.

 

[Spoon]

Just need to get the final bits done then take it for test.

Hopefully, shouldn't need anything (Final last words!!!)

Blimey, talk about a bargain car. Be good if you do a write up on what you found and resolved etc . Can't believe these cars are going for so little !! Great to save it though
