Hi everyone,
Like all of you out here I to appreciate the beauty of these cars. Good to be around likeminded people.
Here is my 2003 Z4, 2.5i (hope this works).

Welcome mate

Welcome to the forum and top marks for a photo in your 1st post
Where about's are you in the UK

 

[RDFlo]

Thank you and I'll definitely ask some questions. I've hit a curb the other day and damaged the front bumper, front and middle under tray/plastic shield (not sure how it’s called), wheel arch. Stupid icy road...
Any ideas where to get these from?
I’m still trying to get to grips with the structure of the forum, so haven’t search for parts yet.
I’m thinking of a Z4M bumper conversion, but the shielding comes first.

I'm based in Liverpool buddy. Do you still have the MR2? I sold mine to get the Z, but miss it. What a cracking car that was.

Hi and welcome. Roadster well done

Hi and welcome to the forum

Hi and welcome - lovely looking Z4.

Sorry to hear of your mishap - I'd try BMW first for parts. Some of them are surprisingly reasonable! (Although others aren't).

Welcome on board.

I think loads of people have caught a kerb or two with the front bumper seeing as though the bonnets are massive

Just dropped the gearbox - thought it would be quicker than refilling the coolant (not sure at the moment!). I say 'just the gearbox' that's after taking most of the back end out. Did all the suspension/shocks & polybushes last year; everything sand blasted and repainted while it was off. Shreded the fan belt on the way to the MOT - it must have done all the 100K+ since 1995 so changed it and the cam belt.

Did you do the cam belt in situ? supposed to be a very tight job to do. Got a photo of the car then ??
Is it NA or turbo ?

Yep it's tight - but doable I'll try and get you a photo - might go to PM and let the OP have his thread back!
