Morning all!
Have considered a Z4 on several occasions but finally bit the bullet this weekend after selling a 987.1 S Boxster and needing to pocket some cash whilst keeping a roadster in the garage.
Drove a few cars, pre and post facelift, M54 and N52, and decided I wanted a nice pre facelift M54 as I love the engine. Found this one not too far from me being sold by a lovely retired gentleman who seemed as genuine as they come. Has only done 54k miles and is in very good condition over all. Exterior has the odd blemish here and there but cleans up really nicely. Interior is amazing for a 22 year old car. Drives really well - obviously not quite on par with the Boxster but probably 80% of the driving experience in a better looking car for 40% of the cost). Wheels need a refurb. It's Sterling Grey with the cream/beige interior, which is a colour combination I really like and the same as my E61 530d LCI (well, that is space Grey with beige, but you get the gist...).
Plans?
- Wheel refurb or swap
- Springs and spacers
- Needs new floor mats and high-level brake light
- Short shift and weighted knob
Would appreciate any suggestions or recommendations on any/all of the above!
Looking forward to being part of the community and meeting some of you hopefully!
Cheers, Ben

Great looking Z4 and a few other nice cars too by the look.
