With my recent acquisition of a 2006 Z4 3.0si, I am excited to get it out this spring to enjoy. Since I live in snow country, this was purchased with the intent as a summer toy, not a daily driver.

But as with virtually all used vehicles, this one too, comes with a list of items that need my attention. (I know this when I bought it, no unpleasant surprises yet)

My initial shopping list:

Front Console Blank Cover below radio (out of site, but still annoys me to know its missing)
GPS Antenna (car still thinks it's in Texas)
SOS button (missing)
Rear Center Console shell (stress cracks on top)
Boot Struts
Wheel Center Caps
V32 Firmware for Computer
2015 Nav (unless there is a more recent version avail)
Headliner for top (small tear on passenger side)

There will be more, but for now, this should keep me busy.

Put some snow tires on it and enjoy. :driving: Only past couple years here in MI have I not driven it in snow due to the amount of projects that I had going on. And welcome :D can’t wait to see her

No idea if they have what you need at this point, but https://www.redlineautoparts.com/bmw/ is where I go for used parts for the Z. Hopefully they have something for you that will get your baby right.

I have already ordered most of the parts I listed above. But will certainly keep this one bookmarked for future!

Nice bike, I guess you have the right roads for it over there.
That was some distance to go to collect a car!
