Well, I left the fold a while back after selling a gorgeous 3.0 in black. Shown here: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16225
In the interim I've had an RX8 and recently learnt to ride a motorbike and bought a K7 GSXR 600. (LOVE IT!!!)
Anyway, I missed the Z4 so have been and bought another 3.0i se in sapphire black, on elipsoids, with sport seats, satnav, cruise control, ipod, folding mirrors etc etc, so fully loaded interior. The outside needs some TLC to get it looking as good as my last one, not sure whether to refurb the elipsoids as they have some bubbling and kerb damage, or go back for BBS LMs again, or Alpina alloys...
Anyway, I'm going to do my best to get it up to scratch tomorrow, interior, exterior, roof etc but know it will greatly benefit from a professional DA polishing with some attention to the paintwork. How much should I be looking at for a decent full body DA polishing? Not ££££ finish, just nice and shiny and swirl marks / light scratches removed.
Pics to follow tomorrow if I can get it in respectable shape. The engine bay has not seen a clean in years :thumbsdown:
New car to do list:
1. Remove foam from sound generator (All of it! :evil: ) DONE
2. Check DISA
3. Refurb alloys (Keep silver or go different?) Doing next week, full acid bath refurb,
4. Clean / paint calipers (Look so rusty!!!)
5. Replace rear discs and pads. Brembo discs and pads waiting to fit.
6. Stubby. Fitted.
7. All red rear lights. Vinyl tint samples too small, bit look like they'd work. Larger price bought.
8. Black grills. Waiting for new bumper for full transformation.
9. M front bumper. Possibly fitting facelift bumper instead.
10. Powerflex bushes. Will enquire when getting discs fitted.
11. LED number plate lights. Fitted.
12. LED sidelights. Fitted
13. Retrim boot with new black carpet as previous owner spilled white paint.
14. White side repeaters and new badges. Bought, ready to fit.
15. Quad exhaust. Dreaming a little bit here.
16. Soundproof doors, drivers door sound horrible when closing!
Its good to be back.

I'm not a detailing guru by any means, but I see everything and it bugs me...
