Hi

first post on here so thought it polite to post here before asking for help!
I've had the Z4 for just over a year now, it was a bit of an impulse buy but I always liked the classic GT shape of the coupe and values seemed to have bottomed so seemed a good time to buy. It's been pretty rock solid to be honest which I'm really pleased about! It's an auto with paddles (my first auto) and now I'm not sure I'd go back to manual, it's just much easier to live with as a daily and changes gear faster and better than I can! So far I've polybushed the RTAB's and had full alignment, put in an aux cable, done the sound generator mod and just fixed a few little niggles here and there. I'm planning on putting new wheels on soon, the 108's look really tatty and I want something lighter/racier. I'm also looking for a roof bar solution so I can stick a bike on it rather than out the back on the Saris rack which is a bit wobbly! Anyway that's me, I'm off to the problems page to talk about coil packs!

cheers
 
welcome to the exclusive coupe club

if i'm not mistaken somebody as fitted roof bars button can't recall who or how
 
Ah yes I did see that pic on google images, I'm using a Saris Bones at the mo but the paint work isn't thanking me for it! I also would like to be able to get in the boot without taking it all off, that's my secondary objective, hence wanting a roof mount solution.
BTW, are your wheels Dotz Mugello? I'm torn between something dished like that or a CSL style wheel... My favourites so far are the Klutch SL14's but a bit more than I want to spend ideally.

Thanks
 
Welcome to the forum, 108s can look tatty very quickly - let us know what you decide to replace them with. Personally I like Taz's deep set alloys.
 
Welcome to the forum, dont worry about adding two more wheels to the car, you already have the 4 you need! :wink: :P
 
Welcome to the forum!
Nice work getting one with a fixed roof ;)

Hi JimBob,

Did you get the roof bars sorted? I've just purchased a Coupe (not even collected it yet) and I'm looking to fit some bikes on the roof. What width bars did you use?

Cheers, :D
