Hi,

newbie here from Chelmsford in Essex, not my first BMW (had e46 M3, e28 52i auto in the last 4 years) but my first Z4,2003 3.0 15s (103?) sterling grey, sports suspension, pro nav, black interior, bluetooth.

Love the car, just cant get along with the run flats on the front, seems to wander everywhere, only had it a few weeks, was going to have a poke around see if the wandering is to do with tyres or the steering arm bushes like on my old e46 M3 (which i also swapped the rear trailing arm bushes for powerflex, is this a common failure on e85s too?)

I want to keep the 17s for winter tyres, but am considering spacing them out a bit and whacking some eibachs on, but with all the cost and hassle of doing that does anyone know of some Z4M alloys for sale locally? as that'd do my spacing for me and sit well with the sports M suspension?

ANyway, been lurking for a couple of months getting the lowdown before purchase so thought id say hi

Tim
 
Hi and welcome to the forum Tim :thumbsup:

Your zed sounds nice, have you any pics to show us as you will soon find out we like pics on this forum :wink:

:worthless:
 
i'll be honest, I havent taken any pics, its all been a bit dark and miserable lately!, so for now i'll be a pain and say 'use your imagination'... as ive seen about a million identical sterling grey 3.0 roadsters on here lol

Maybe when iv'e fitted my ZHP knob and the custom bmw performance style alcantara gaitor im making i'll get round to pics :D
 
Hi there your problems are more than like as you say the bushes common problem on the zeds as well.

I had similar problems changed the bushes loads better. Look at the ARB bushes mine where really worn.
 
I can post pics of my previous cars if that counts?!...

Ah cheers Dave, just seen them, they look good. Might have to drop over after pay day if you are quite close and they are still around
