Lovely looking car....in fact there's an exact replica of it sat in my garage! I only bought mine about a month ago but already loving it!
 
Looks lovely, 107's do set the Z off don't they. I do like the first photo, shows off the great lines :thumbsup:
 
They are THE best wheels for the Z4 IMHO :)

Regarding the CCV, I'm going to change this as a precautionary measure - can someone point me in the direction of a part number please. I'm assuming it's not too expensive and not a difficult job?

Lovely, clean, original example! Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Aboard, lovely looking car, especially when you consider the age/mileage. The zed definitely seems to be aging much better than its competitors of similar vintage such as the MK1 Audi TT, 986 Porsche Boxster, Mazda MX5 and Honda S2000. They all seem to be showing their age to me, then again, I am biased! :D

No mods planned as she is just perfect as is. . .


thats what most of us said :D

I'm constantly reminded by the wife I made that promise! :rofl:

Lovely looking Zed, these cars just don't seem to age do they :thumbsup:

Just said this myself. That will teach me to read the thread properly before posting.

You seem to have mis-quoted me here - or thats how it appears.
these are not my words: I'm constantly reminded by the wife I made that promise!

Hello and Welcome ! You've got a really handsome Zed there in a great colour ! :wink:

I fitted this ccv recently: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/262184950052
Not the cheapest but a good quality brand. It's not a difficult job to do. More time consuming as there is a fair few components to remove to get access. There are plenty of useful videos on YouTube. :thumbsup:
 
Just had a major stock of luck. I was investigating the prices of the wind deflectors on eBay however, when I went to clean the rear screen, there just happens to be one on the shelf :D

Hi and welcome. are you auto or manual ? If manual I would strongly recommend removing the CDV, it really makes a difference to the clutch feel and gear change (especially first to second) and getting a weighted gearknob (Storm werks V1 or V2 or ZHP) to reduce notchiness.

Gearbox oil change is good maintenance for autos and manuals, although a lot more expensive for autos (needs about 9 litres versus 1.5 litres for the manual).
 
Thanks for the advice csquire4. I've been strongly considering doing the CDV delete as launch and 1st to second leave something to be desired. I'm also going to change the crank case breather as a precaution.
The previous own removed the foam from the sound generator by the sounds of it - can you buy the foam to replace it and where does it go?
 
I took the plunge too today. Can't wait to get her home 2003 3.0 Auto. 55k miles on the clock got myself a gem. :driving:
