Looking to buy a Z4 on a budget

Yeah would be nice but i only fold them up in carparks i dont like how once folded rain can just go straight into them... Also you can fold them down while driving but wont go up if you ever wonder..... Welcome to the club! Had mine just over a year now also have a grey roof. :thumbsup:

Having only owned the Z for 2 days now I'm really taken by its build quality amazing looks and driving it is a real pleasure. Quite fortunate that the previous owner replaced a lot of the suspension bushes and also new springs. The seats are lovely and comfortable and the engine sounds amazing!

Noticed my alloy door pulls are scratched a bit so would like to replace those but a part from that it's been very well looked after.

A very happy Z4 owner :D

Hi Paul, my interior handles were scratched as well, instead of replacing them I used some satin vinyl wrap.

I would love to garage mine but the TT is tasking up that spot, I have thought about chucking the TT out and putting the Z in lol! But with all the little jobs I need to do the Z it would be better off sitting on my drive. I will get a car cover for it though so that way it will stay clean.

That looks OM it's that good great job. I do want to get mine back to the way they were and trying to work out if the Finnish is paint or if it is metal :-/ I did notice they just unclip off so would be easy to replace or refurb.


Paul
 
Cheers Dan. Very helpful knowing they just gently lever off :thumbsup:

I'm sure replacements wouldn't cost to much :cry:




Paul
 
Having just restored an Audi TT MK 1 I know how expensive trim parts can be so not surprised that piece of trim would cost that much!

That's a very good point never realised there was other types of Finnish :-/ once the trim is removed they might be a part number on the back.
