Welcome, looks a nice car. I'm sure you must be enjoying it after the KA.
Welcome to the forum Emma, lovely car 
I wouldn't worry about the wheels too much for now - nearly winter, salty horrible roads... Maybe best to have less desirable wheels on. I have them as winter wheels for my car, they're not so bad :wink:
As for badges, if you want originals then best getting them from Sopers BMW in Lincoln - call their parts department and ask for Mark or Jamie and tell them you're a member of the forum. You'll get a discount, 10 or 12%. Original indicator badges will come with adhesive already on the back, really easy to fit.

Bumpy - I now park the furthest away I possibly can to anything to avoid the cretins that cant park 
oke:
Yes Gargy - its a slightly different feel to the 70bhp KA :wink:
Im looking after my pennies already Caemon! Thats why I have an essential list (aka the badges, ashtray etc) and the dream-on list (aka new alloys etc!).
Still want to get the private plate as one of the first things - that along with the badges, I reckon itll transform the car like magic :evil:
Im liking all these ideas though - Everyone has differnet opinions and in a forum its going to be never ending money spending in my head! :fuelfire:

Thanks for advice Bing 
- will give them a ring and see what they can do for me!
Im going to have a busy lunchtime £££
I dont want to go silly with it all, I just want to make her look the best she can and in the best condition - anything to enhance her!
I have to take pride in her now I have a decent car

Hmmm, probably should have caveated what I said about badges with... Don't expect eBay prices - I asked about a full new set - two sides, front, back and four wheel caps - and the total was £140 including VAT. However, I am going to do it because I've faffed about with c/f badges from eBay that need fettled and stuck on and whilst they look good I simply can't be assed doing it all again 
Disca, you want any OEM parts (rather than second hand or eBay) then I'd always go to Sopers. They do a great deal, but also their service is second to none and delivery is very fast... All of their P&P is free too, at least on the smaller items I have bought from them.
Yep ,agree with all of the above, welcome, nice car
Nice car! welcome to the club...
+1 for Sopers of Lincoln for parts, happens to be right by my parents place so when i visit home i have an excuse to buy things
Also i'm with Bing on the wheels, keep em over winter and look at something like 224s maybe for the new year. Get yourself a stubby too, something like this thread: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3095

I have changed my indicator badges if I can find them you can have. For the princely sum of postage.
As for the gear knobs when I start making them again they will be £40 £30 for the handbrake handle and the matching radio knobs a £10 a pair or £5 individually.
