hi guys
Back again once again for the renegade master
oops sorry, im back with another z4- i am just making this thread to track my progress to be honest
Service station pic (keele i think)
I purchased Z4 number 6 on the 19th March 2019 and It is the most immaculate/unabused example I have owned so far.
My z4 history is as follows:
2011 - Z4 coupe 3.0 si sport - sapphire black
2012- z4 roadster 3.0i se - sterling grey
2015 - Z4 roadster 2.5i sport - silver grey
2015 - z4 coupe 3.0 si sport - monaco blue
2016 - z4 roadster 3.0i se - titan silver
2019 - z4 roadster 2.5i se - Ruby black
The ones i have had before simply dont compare condition wise and the way they drive - they have always been plagued by faulty engine sensors - hesitation / misfires OR tramlining / steering shaking when braking / constant speeds etc - all of which niggled the balls off me .
Anyway, I was expecting much of the same with Z4 no.6 but the drive back from leicester to manchester proved faultless - due to the car has only had 2 previous owners and has covered just 83000 miles - It says a lot for good owner ship. The worst z4 i've had is ironically the most expensive one i had (the z4 coupe bought in 2016) it had loads of problems with steering being wandery at speed/osciliating etc, i spent fortunes on getting it fixed, never got to the bottom of it, so its a massive releif to buy one that actually drives the nicest, and was the cheapest z4 ive bought to date!
Its pretty basic spec wise, aside the fact its Ruby Black, it has
-oregon black leather (non heated/manual seats)
- no cup holder
-no mats
-no s/w controls
-no cruise
it has an OEM wind deflector i havent seen before (straps to the roll over hoops)
I have a few plans which obviously include lowering it
Im good friends with Richard (the owner of stance+ ) so i have some Stance+ ultra coilovers on order already and im currently on the lookout for some nice 19" Wheels
I gave the car a good once over with the machine polisher at the weekend, the paint is pretty much flawless aside the usual stone chips on the front bumper which i have since bouht a touch up on ebay for a 5er. thats this weekends task
other plans include
ZHP knob
exhaust tips (it has none presently)
mats
replace interior light with the upgrade one - it has the basic one with no map reading lights.
m sport steeering wheel
M sport seats (pipe dream, i am tight , and wont pay a lot for them, so could be waiting a while)
The wheels will be up for sale soon, genuine 241 spoke wheels with 4 mint bridgestone runflats will be powdercoated silver and they look great as im sure you'll agree, nice alternative to elipsoid/108s with the same specs (8J front et47/8.5J rear ET50)
here are pics from the FS ad
some from when i got it home
Thanks for looking
