My first Z4 2.5

Looks great! What bulbs have you got in there? Those headlights look very bright.

Apologies but I don't know. I think they are HIDs?

Nice cls wheels mate

Oh ok, I thought they were. I had hid's but they kept flickering and weren't 100% compatible with the auto lights function, so ditched them in favour of some Philips halogens which are rubbish.

Lovely zed - still dirty though! It's much more important to have a clean car than actually drive it

I have a felling it will be dirty most of the time (living in a rural area the roads are covered in mud from tractors at the moment).

Enjoying the driving experience too much methinks, however, a clean is planned soon.

PS Roof down all the time.

PPS Seat heaters are excellent.

I am just over a week into Z4 ownership and all is well (very well).

Had a great drive to work this morning:







Great car

One month into Z4 ownership and I still haven't washed the car as the roads are very mucky around here.

But I am looking forward to giving it good wash soon:



On my "To Do" List:

Refurbishment of soft top with Renovo and change front discs (E46?) to something a bit bigger.

The longest ours has gone without being washed was 2 weeks

At last a decent day weather wise so I finally got around to washing the Z4 for the first time since purchase just before Xmas.

I had the car serviced last week and mostly good news.

However, some advisories have been raised which I will sort asap:

Aux belt perished
Rear trailing arm brake pipes corroded
OSR and NRS brake pipes corroded
OSF bottom ball joint excessive play
Front flexi hoses slightly perished.

The garage (independent BMW) washed the car for me which was a pleasant surprise:

The love affair with the Z4 continues (250 miles trip around North Wales last weekend ), even though I kerbed the nearside alloys









A bloke in a van arrived this morning @ 0830hrs and 2 hours later (£55.00 per wheel) all as good as new.

The outer rims will catch the slightest of kerbs if I am not careful, so a good lesson learned, and the car is now back to it's former glory:





PS Looking at the above I need to tidy up the calipers asap.
