Just got myself this machine! Needs a little work on the left side as someone managed to crash it through some doors but working on it slowly until its ready to go on the road! New door fitted already!

Suggest you also register on the Exclusive Maldives Club thread... gorgeous colour though I am biased.

Welcome onboard...
 
Hi and welcome - bonus points for photos in your 1st post too! :thumbsup:

Good looking Z4 (for a Roadster), but those wheels look a bit lost in the arches - what size are they?

They do slightly, that's how I bought it but they're 225 35 R18 on the front and 245 35 R18 rears I think.

Thank you man! Its a 2.5i roadster the 192hp I believe! Its currently on 15mm lowered einbach springs and 5mm spacers (or so I've been told). Also with rain sensors, power folding wing mirrors and fully auto roof. Having a new windscreen fitted next week! Really in need of a new passenger side wing mirror too if anyones got any advice on finding one of those! Having real issues so far.
 
Yes, a pre-facelift 2.5i will have the M54 engine with 192bhp.

Tyre sizes sound OK, but maybe it's the size of the wheels that makes them seem lost - you'd need to take them off to see what size(s) and offset(s) you have as it's usually stamped on the back of them.

You could try posting a "Wanted" ad on the Classified section of the forum for your door mirror - it's free!

I hope you get the issues sorted - it's good to see a Z4 getting the TLC it deserves. :thumbsup:

To be honest I haven't taken them off as of yet, definitely want to at some point as I'm not even sure they're genuine BBS rims (doubt it). I will definitely try that because I must have talked to about 15 different breakers now including BMW as well and no one can find one anywhere! Wasn't sure if its worth me starting a topic and uploading photos as I fix stuff?

I suggest before having the windscreen fitted, you show the fitter
1. The auto lights work
2. The rain sensor works

Then after fitting check 1&2 above again.

I’ve twice had past challenges with a new screen fitting, hence recommendations above

Ohhh thats a good idea actually thank you for that, do the auto lights work from the same sensor unit as the auto wipers behind the rear view mirror?
 
Welcome to the forum and another classic MK1 Z4 :thumbsup:
I see you have the rare folding mirrors, got any photos of the interior
