As my Zed is fast approaching its 9th birthday ( only 61k ) I've decided to start servicing and fixing things myself ( as much as I can). paying for dealers to look after it won't enhance the already low resale value. So, yesterday I got down and dirty with it and did a full service with a little added extra. I changed the oil and filter,coolant,drive belts,and fitted some really sexy HEL braided brake lines along with a brake fluid upgrade to 5.1. Then, to top it all off I replaced the front and rear anti roll bar bushes.I am amazed how much better it drives with the bushes replaced,really stunnuing difference.The next mod is a re trimmed steering wheel in black alcantara, then a wheel refurb and finishing my stereo upgrade.Who cases that it's almost worthless, I love the thing and am going to keep and make it better. What have you done to your this weekend?

Bought some 2009 Z4 OEM rims for some winter boots - if the seller responds to my text & tells me their house number, will collect them tonight
I just need to work out if they are 18 as advertised or 17" rims.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320979059071?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_500wt_922

That's a bloody good deal
I washed mine and fitted some new number plates.
I hope so... advert says 18" by 9" rims, yet quotes 8j x 17 eh2+ is29... am sure they're going to be 17", just need to find s'more reasonably priced winter tyres

even on 17,s they should look swell . more aggressive offset will give them a wider stance on E85/86
