Hi, My new (58) BMW Z4 arrived today. I have already made a few tweeks.....Chrome Exhaust Trim, Chrome Grill, M Valve Caps and Blue Tax Disk Holder. Might try replacing the Festoon Bulbs to a blue led next????

What do you think?

Thank - A Stubby is a great idea - will see what ebay has to offer. Just set up the bluetooth for my two mobiles and that's all working now. 8)

looks good, get the mangowalk as it a perfect fit and matches the base size and colour, you will find more details on here.

Legit! :thumbsup:

...whats a tax disc holder? (Dumb yankee here!...haha)

In the US, large cities like Chicago require a city sticker be mounted for all residents, showing you paid your fee for owning the car. Every year you scrape it off, clean the glass, and mount a new one.

In the UK, they've got a more sensible solution. You get a plastic disc every year, so you mount a holder on the windshield and every year you swap out the disc.

The disc is actually paper, not plastic. We can pay the road tax online or at post office. Not sure about US, but cars with higher CO2 emission pay more tax in UK. :(

Interesting. We used to have inspection stickers on the cars here in Oklahoma, but they did away with it.

I like the UK solution though! I'd end up scratching my windshield every year! :P
 
Just ordered the Stubby from the US on ebay....actually bought two, my mate has also recently bought a Z4 and after seeing mine today he is putting in an order for a Chrome Grill and exhaust trim!! :lol:
