Sold it, brilliant car had no issues at all with my 55 reg Z4, done 18000 miles and all its cost me in 3 years is a set of tyres and a service but decided to go for a change bought a BMW 1 series 118i M Sport convertible. 
What did you do to your Z4 today?

Washed it, scrubbed the roof and then went over the car with some sonax
Car now covered over to keep it clean for a week.

Retro fitted wind deflector what a difference it's made Mrs Rally is very pleased 
Used this guide to drill the hoops so only removed the rears for the inserts.
I purchased the deflector and fitting kit secondhand but brought the inserts new from BMW
It's been a busy day I also fitted a clear third brake light it looks so much cleaner very pleased.

Friday I had a day off, so I FINALLY was able to give the car the detail it's been crying out for since I bought it in 2014! Full decontamination, Iron X, pre wash, clay, tar remover, rinse down, Polish and then finally wax. And then dress the black trim and the wheels. I still need to spend some time properly cleaning and sealing the wheels, and polishing the glass but I'm so chuffed with how the paint has come up
And then yesterday I had one of those very special drives down to Goodwood. Not often I end up laughing out loud at how much fun a car can be but crikey we are a lucky bunch to own these cars - the driving proposition a well sorted z4 can offer is right up there in my opinion!

Funny you should mention that. I was trying to turn right out of an intersection. View was blocked by cars parked on the side of the road. Thought there was a big gap and edged out. There was actually a WRX heading for me (not speeding, but the sight of that letterbox on the the bonnet is often a good clue that the driver won't be under the limit. Stereotyping, I know, but often true...). I put the foot down about half way and the Z4 got a bit sideways around the turn. Scared me a bit, but I think the DSC/Traction Control sorted it before I really had time to react. All I can think of was there was something on the road surface as I've driven with that much throttle before without any problems.mr wilks said:Yorkie Z said:

Just looked it it, admiring the way the light covering of pollen went yellow in the rain, and feeling really glad I'd washed it the other day. 
Nothing done yet technically, but took advantage of a 20% EuroCarParts discount code and ordered the below for £65. Going to do an interim oil service on the Coupe. Last had an oil service June 2015...nearly a year so why not!
2x4litres Castrol Engine Oil (Edge 0W-30 With Titanium FST Fully Synthetic 4Ltr)
1x Mann Oil Filter
1x copper sump plug washer
Not bad for £65, right?
