After the wife got a new job which meant she needed the car (320d touring) we needed a second car again. So I hunted around a bit and found an 03 2.5i se spec z4 with 40k on the clock for £6k with FSH and mostly BMW. it was up for 6.5k but I got him to £6k due to the wheels (picture further down) which I think was a fair price.
I'm not into modding but I do like to know roughly about what I'm buying which lead me to this forum. I've had my Z4 for two weeks now and I love it! I used to really really miss my mk4 Golf GTI 1.8t ever since I sold it a couple of years back but now........ I'm not even looking back! I've not changed much, I've had a Parrot 9100 fitted for the phone and music which is great, and I then discovered Gaptech..
So I fitted the RCH+ module, which having not tinkered with anything on a car before done first time and walked away from the car (remotely closing the hood) with a massive Clarkson style smug grin!
So I had her valeted externally yesterday, fella came to the house and done a stirling job, even if it did honk it down straight after and didn't really stop! This morning got up to walk the dog, to steam literally coming off the hood in the sunshine, which I wish I'd got some snaps of on my SLR as it was like dry ice, mega!
Anyway Day off today so thought I'd go for a little drive and stopped to take some pics, they are from my iPhone, so not the greatest of quality but here she is.
That is a cloud on the bonnet! The picture did make me freak out at first when I got home!
The inside and outside really is mint not a mark, all the leather is tip top, and the engine bay is really clean! I'm not so keen on the gimp style wind deflector which obviously isn't on in the pics, but the side covers make everything nice and neat when the hood is down. Just a pain in the arse to fit.
The only bad point really are the wheels, they aren't really curbed at all, but it's as if the fronts of them (all) have oxidised on the laquer. any thought on what to do? As in get them sprayed/refurbed? costings? I love the look black inside and laser cut on the out, but not quite too sure what to do.
