Projects new/old…

[bigwinn]

I think I’m close to finishing everything I want to do on the new car:

The E89 wheels have really grown on me and I think they are staying!

M-Sport seats are the future… love them

Really enjoyed sorting the front and rear suspension, plus the engine/vanos work I did this weekend has really transformed the drive. I can’t advocate vanos refresh enough!!

Retrimmed the steering wheel today, not with a mewant kit but similar- good quality from China!

Tomorrow I’m catching the train to pick up a new project! My first 3.0 manual! The biggest and most shocking thing about this is that ITS NOT SAPPHIRE BLACK!

Will update when I get it home

If you slowed down a bit life would be cheaper!
Do one job, go and have a beer. Wander back the next day, do a bit more.
Stop diving in and doing it all in one go. You'll have Z4 burnout.

Did you do the CDV?

No thought I’d leave something for another day!!!

I put the wheels back on after the rear end refresh, dropped it off jacks, went for a test drive, stopped at the corner shop and am now working my way through a tinnie or two.
Now that is a work/life balance.

Good job
There soon won't be any Z4's left for others to fix up 8)

It’s an addiction

Think class a might be a cheaper hobby

You want another one after you’re done? I’ll drop mine round sometime and you can fix it up for me?

Hi Stuart, it's good to see someone rescuing unloved Z4s and bringing them back to how they deserve to be.

E89 wheels do work well on E85/6s. I had a set on my previous Coupe, and now have some on my 3 Series daily.

M-Sport seats are a huge improvement. IMHO they should have been standard on all Z4s!

Have a good drive home tomorrow in your next project that isn't Sapphire Black.
