Gone and bought me an E89!

[Pondrew]

Pondrew, I also own a 2013 Msport 18i, wait til you get it mapped it will come as a big shock as the difference is phenomenal

Top of my list. I need to drive it "as is" a bit first though; a) so I know the "before and after" and b) to make sure all seems well mechanically before upping the boost.

White is the 2nd best colour after VO an the only real spec you need is heated seats for the fine winter morning drives

I may need to buy a map! (do they still sell maps?) I've only lived here a year and the other cars have sat nav so I get lost at the end of the road!

Oh it won't be going out in the winter! Apart from this winter as need to make sure it's all OK before the stealer's warranty runs out.

Nothing better than a drive on a cold crisp winters morning with the roof down, heating on full blast / heated seats working - great fun

Obviously as long as it's a "necessary journey"! :wink:

Well you need to go to Asda for something - petrol maybe :rofl:

 

[Pondrew]

Yes I've heard there's a garage selling cheap petrol that's 100 miles from me. I may have to check it out

Here here and I can assure you no jackets were worn in the duration of this drive - just put the heating on 26 and turned the heated seats on.

Hello and welcome to the forum, car’s looks great but I would have thought you would have rolled out the red carpet and not black, although it does complement the white paintwork

Mine is now fully functioning and its a great bit of kit just to get the mirrors to fold on the key and one touch roof, never mind the roof operation off the key or when the car is moving

When its snowing outside, your baby is exactly where it should be. Tucked up nice and warm

No chance that mine is out in the snow - still on run flats and I live in the wilds on top of a mountain with a dirt track for a drive so no gritter or snow plough to get me out -

So thought I'd share how my Z4 is progressing after a few days of work (been too cold most of the time to do work in the garage).

Sorted the few paint issues, mainly front bumper:

before:


after:


Changed all four discs and pads. Discs are TRW painted black and front pads are TRW low dust:
before:

after:


Some others:


All fluids being changed next week, then wheels refurbed, then a re-map. That will do for now.

I personally would not go spending any money on those 326 alloys but instead put it towards some nice aftermarket or more sturdy OEM BMW alloys. Your car is looking good by the way

I know they are fragile but I really like them. They are all undamaged so far. :scratchhead:

Well don’t say you were not warned!!!!
