- Oil and filters changed
- Bought an under tray of a member on here, and inspection panels for wheel arch.
- purchased the bumper clips as bumper wasn’t fitting quite right, ripped off via eBay for a pair £66 :(
- purchase red leather dye to give side bolster a touch up.

Todo list
- paint front bumper
- refurb steering wheel trim and under handbrake trim as OEM as possible.
- add a silencer as it’s had back box delete but it’s very loud and drones, I’d like noise but a bit less.
- Full mop and polish to get the paint back.
- front tyres.

Also maybe thinking of changing these deep dish alloys.

Nice bold interior. Don't know if I could live with black wheels with that colour of car deep dish or whatever - somehow there's nothing to help define that classic coupe shape.

One word of warning though - if that heart is a air freshener be very careful where you hang it. The plastic finish on the Z4 steering cover reacts baldly to contact with or drops from some air fresheners and blisters up.
 
Yes I took that off as I’ve seen it happen before to other cars, thank you for the tip though.

I agree I really like some of the original z4 alloys like the split rims, I love them. Just finding the right wheels that don’t break the bank.
 
A stunning red and black coupe. :thumbsup:
I would put red brake calipers behind those wheels and let em ride.
 
Very cool looking Z4. 8) If you are keeping those black wheels then I agree with scootr re the red calipers. :thumbsup:
 
Congratulations, and welcome to Coupe ownership. :thumbsup:

Like you I always wanted one but it took me until 2014 to get one, and now I'm addicted to them. :lol:

Red calipers would look great even if you did decide to change the wheels. My current Coupe had red calipers when I bought it as well as the 2 braces behind the kidney grilles, which I really like.
