Hi "again",
I feel a re-introduction opposes,
so i joined a few years back, looking to buy a Z4 e85, but ended up going for a mk5 golf gti (i think i fancied the turbo and practicality), i've still got the golf and it's not all that bad :)
I also have a KTM duke 4 690, that is being sold to pay for the Z4 :roll: (love the bike, but french drivers are nuts, and don't fancy sliding down the road on my face because some old farmer had a bit to much of the red stuff over lunch...)
So, wanting to have some form of a vehicle with 4 wheels on the ground, but something fun, i thought why not get a roadster... Hesitated a bit with the TT 225 (almost bought one), but then said F**k it, go for the 3.0l Z4 8) !!
So me being in France ( :headbang: ) (i am an ex-pat by the way), and with the price of a LHD extremely expensive over here, i bought one in the UK (wich my mum is going to bring down for me at the end of the month!!!), and i cannot wait to get in it and take her for a spin :driving: !

So of course, like everyone on here almost, i want to do some mods :evil:
from what i hear, it's already got the Gaptech module :thumbsup: , and some sort of a cone filter under the bonnet (havn't got a clue yet wich one), but i think that's about it..

Here's my list of bit's i'm planning on doing:
First the pug stubby (thanks to the forum i got that :thumbsup: 11€ from the dealer)
I've just bought a pair of LHD rear lights so i'll have a symetrical rear end :P (85€ second hand), i also plan to tint the orange cercle's dark either with fly eye stuff or something else ? i'd love to have them clear aswell but can't justify spending a huge amount just to have them clear !
De-ginger the rest (side indicators + headlights), is it best just to get clear side indicators straight from BMW?
Headlights, i'm going to need LHD ones anyways, so probably just go for the aftermarket AE's, but unsure about halogen or HID ? HELP :rofl:
Painting the calipers red... The car is black, so i think it could look quite nice
Original looking boot spoiler : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Boot-spoiler-BMW-Z4-E85-/251294342172?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a824f5c1c ! need some advice, or knowledge of someone that's already done it? how easy? or just get the bodyshop to do it ? I really think it make's the arse end look great :D

I think that's about it for the moment, i'd love to do an interior mod, but i think it's going to cost a bomb... I'd love red seats, but hard to find, and expensive ! Thought about replacement seat covers...? anyone done this ?

I'm trying to post a photo... Bit of a noob when it come's to forum's... just made a photo bucket account, hope that link works

Hi and welcome back. Black Roadster is the choice of the discerning Zed owner!

Hope your Mum enjoys the drive. When I took my Mum for a spin in mine she declared that she wanted one - and she's well into her eighties :o

Nice dogs too!

Picture below. All you have to do is copy the content of the "IMG" box on Photobucket and paste it into your post:


 
Nice place to have a Zed - welcome to the Forum.

Lots of work to do on it then - I'm sure you'll get out and enjoy it as well! :lol:

Quite a few Zed owners came from motorbikes and enjoy the roof down experience.

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the kind welcome,
I agree a bmw does look good in black, and the Zed is no exception ;)
I think my mum will have a great time indeed bringing it back haha and she might just fall in love with it :rofl: lucky the dogs won't fir in it !!!

And thanks for the image :D

It should love the french roads :D and i'm hoping it will be loads of fun
 
Lovely - if I lived somewhere with a better climate I might have been tempted with a roadster, so enjoy!
 
Welcome back. :thumbsup:

Just be careful your mum doesn't turn around half way and nick it. :wink:
