 Blue side of Manchester!
My second Z4, first was in 2004, 3.0 roadster silver bought with 5000 miles on ! Fitted a carbon air box and Eisenmann race exhaust to that as soon as i'd bought it , along with clear lights :D Saw it last year and scared the then current owner by getting out at a set of lights and telling him about it lol. Sold that for a Porsche 993 C4s! Always fancied another Z4 and think the Coupe is one of the nicest looking cars ever made! Bought my Si, sapphire black, with every option but nav, by the look of it, just before Xmas as a user1 I've got a few other cars i play with then just don't get rid of :( I've changed the runflats to Goodyear F1 a2's (main difference upto now is huge reduction in tramlining) ,need to look for a spacesaver , got some Eibachs to fit(135 del from germany off Ebay,bargain), fitted new plugs, standard air filter (which on an 85,000 miler was the original, even though the cheeky main BMW dealer had ticked it changed last service!) usual stubby, clutch stop modded (great trick), removing the clutch release valve/ engine oil change when the weather turns, black grill, de badged, wheels refurbed in my trade mark grey, Mtech 12mm spacers front, 20 rear, got a set of Piranha discs f/r to fit, with Redstuff pads to fit. Having a backbox done tuesday! I've painted the interior door pulls and 2 of the steering wheel spokes Audi silver (i had some in stock lol) the other spoke was broken by a previous owner. I also machine polished it over Xmas, as it had 2 previous Lady owners, who'd had it serviced well (well paid for, see above anyway), but not taken care of the paintwork. It's come up very well, although i may have the bonnet/bumper/wing tops painted. Changed some of the badges to black carbon, rest to follow, along with a rear plate surround with M sport on! Done the M gear knob mod, nice difference ! Will get some pics up soon and try to remember a before and after video on the Exhaust! Think that's everything, foe now :roll: I also have a Porsche 944S2, another german 3.0 50/50 coupe ! i can only say the Z is a modern, much better sounding version of it, which i think is high praise indeed :)

Welcome! :)
 
Cheers "TR4man" and "Marlon." I will get some pictures up soon ;)

MattHall91 thanks for your comment. I'm sorry you were unable to "read" my post, I thought this was a forum and not a classroom!
I'm a member of several forums and it's keyboard warriors like you that ruin it for others!
Do me a favour, if I post again, don't bother attempting to read them, you'll only end up looking for faults and I'll struggle holding back next time!

Welcome! :)
Cheers, i can read it now !
 

This is after i machine polished it with G3, then 3m machine glaze, then Poorboys Black hole then Poorboys EX-P sealant!
Tyres were fitted after this photo! Spacers are on and the wheels fill the arches much better, no clearance issues to report, but will see what they're like after Eibach's fitted. Should be fine!
Will post more pics soon and video of new exhaust, providing all goes to plan next week !
 
Welcome to the coúpe club. If you're getting rid of the 3.0si badges could I get them for a fee please :?

Pm me your details. I'll check they're in good condition, I used twine to remove them so I think they're fine. You'll just need something to bond them on with, each letter was separate! You can have them !
