New Z4C owner

[Bmwz4ruby]

Got my first Z4 Coupe about a month now and done around 700 miles in it. Absolutely loving it in every way, feels like an event when you get in it (be that sitting in or driving).
Wanted one for an age and been looking (half heartedly to gain knowledge on them) for years.
Anyway one came up that was not out of my way to travel so thought I would look. Turned out to be the exact spec I wanted for a great price.
So I bought it and here I am a very happy owner.
It’s a 2006 Ruby black SI Sport (manual) with heated Sports, electric memory red leather seats. Auto lights, auto wipers, Bluetooth phone connection, headlight washers, rear parking sensors, cup holders and aluminium trims.
I will be putting an Aux port in it (already purchased), fitting cruise control (essential for long journeys) and getting the alloys refurbished (self job, paint already arrived).
Looking forward to learning more about it and getting info off the forum.
I need the loom and stalk for the cruise so please feel free to point my in the right directions.

Lovely looking Z4C, welcome to the forum. Looks like you have some scars on the door though .

PM Srhutch for a custom cruise control loom (very reasonable) but you’ll need to source an OEM stalk or get one off fleabay.

Enjoy the new wheels.

Thanks and the scar is a reflection due to it being so shiny. Ha.

Just realised the scar is me taking the picture.

Hi and welcome to the forum from a serial Coupe owner.

Most of them have the Aux port. My 1st was built in October 2006 and had it, but my 2nd was built in August 2006 and didn't - but I found someone had already fitted one in the glovebox so it might be worth having a look if it saves you a job!

Mine does not have one for sure but it’s an easy job to add the 3 pins to the 12 pin plug with the Bluetooth.

Will do it next week.

Minor update.
I have now fitted the Aux port, stubby aerial (worst job to do as the threaded stud sheared, had to remove aerial base, drill and tap) and also fitted Cruise control.
I have also changed gearbox oil and fitted a ZHP gear knob. So much better now.
Clutch delay valve mod to do and rear diff oil (already bought) still to change. Then refurb alloys (already have the paint etc).
That should do it for the time being.

Wheels now not getting a refurb and have bought a brand new set with new tyres. Will fit them at the weekend and update with some new pictures and a few other details.
