Welcome. You can't beat Sterling grey[ref]Z4 COUPSTER[/ref] and [ref]Andy-M[/ref] it was the only colour for me!
Jobs I've completed in my first 6 days of ownership:
1. Sticky steering resolved.
2. Carpets shampooed and brand new mats fitted.
3. Interior thoroughly cleaned, Magic Tree binned.
4. Engine bay degreased and dressed.
5. Tired steering wheel replaced with a tidy original.
6. Front left damper spacer blocks removed (!!).
7. Both doors soundproofed.
8. Sound generator foam removed.
Jobs to do:
- Fit my new rear springs
- Wheel alignment
- Fit ZHP (copy) gear knob
- Relocate roof motor
- Replace discs and pads all round
- Many more minor tweaks
I have had an absolute ball in this car since resolving its major handling issues. It's excelling itself and of the 400 recreational miles I've already covered in it, only 20 have been with the hood up. I'm in love!

Don't forget pics of all the little upgrades!! And for me it was sterling first. Tbh I.wanted a Stratus coupe but could not find one in budget, so had to settle for Titanium... But I love it to.
I need to look at how you guys document your cars on here. On previous forums I've had my own thread in the owners' gallery and updated it as I go along. Hopefully it's similar on this forum.Z4 COUPSTER said:
It sounds like you've ended up with a good compromise there. The grey suits the Z4's lines really well. The Z4C looks stunning in black though, I must say!

Black look good but it's a pain in the arse to keep clean...My poor Z3 never looks clean..well in my eyes.

Hope you sort out the sticky steering.
As for a thread documenting your car, start one in the E85 / E86 Z4 discussion section.
I sorted out the sticky steering the day after I bought the car, thanks to info on this forum Okay, will do. Thanks for the pointer.wonkydonkey said:ThanksMarlon said:Nice looking Zed - congrats
