Hey everyone! I've been doing the odd post on here in the last few weeks in anticipation of picking up my first (new-to-me) Z4.
Picked it up last Saturday, and its been AMAZING. It's an '06 Coupe, fair few miles on the clock (hence I could afford it!) but it seems in very nice condition. Sapphire Black, 3.0 SI SE, Red Interior (not a fan, but I'm learning to live with it until some affordable Black M Sport seats appear on eBay...).
Here's some piccies... of it 'unmodified' (at least by me), followed by a few more showing the initial tiny mods I've done below (I have plans of a few other small mods and tweaks, which I'll share with the forum if I ever get around to them!)
Yesterday I swapped out the slightly haggard aerial for this stubby one (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649), which looks a bit more modern (and less worn) to me.
I also switched the grills for these Matte Black ones (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Matte-Bl...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) which look super mean 8) (don't ask me why the eBay listing shows an E89 Z4 – they're definitely E85/86 fit).
My only plans for future mods are:
– Sound Enhancer mod (potentially next weekend if I get time!)
– Putting some decent bulbs in (Philips X-treme Vision or something)
– Possibly might add a tint to the rear and 3/4 windows (although my rear-view mirror seems CONSTANTLY dimmed so maybe not a good idea)
– Want to put some 19" CSL reps on. Waiting for these (https://cmwheels.com/product/19-staggered-csl-style-wheels-satin-bronze-e90-e92-f10-e46-z4/) to come back into stock :roll:
– Might swap Seats and Door cards for black ones, if the right ones show up at the right price
– Might put one of those 'flip out screen' Pioneer radios in... if I can face the cost of it!
That's about it! I'm loving driving 'the Batmobile' and will be hanging around here a bit more often.
Cheers!

Each to their own I guess! Keeping the original grills handy should I want to return it to stock (or more likely should one of the black ones drop out, as the fit on one isn’t great...)
