Hi all,
Just picked up an 03 2.5 Z4 yesterday, looking at most of the cars on here i know i'm at the bottom end of the market but I think I got a cracking deal and considering it was the Z or TT for sub £9k ... you know the outcome!
No doubt i'll be requesting your in-depth knowledge on a few matters over the next year. My initial thoughts budget pending would be ditching the amber lights front & rear. Early research suggests that I may have more trouble upgrading the rear lights to the new style (french fries?)
I do prefer them to the circular old school lights, but again... budget pending. If any of you know prices & places or people able to carry out the work that'd be great.
The other modification i'm considering is fitting an after-market stereo with ipod connection, sat nav, dvd etc... Although I've notice the stereo isn't standard din size so i'm presuming there's an adapter facia plate? That said, I do like the original shape of the stereo/dash and wondered if there were any drawbacks to an upgrade?
Before this list gets too long i'll mention my one and only concern, the Z feels slightly juddery at speeds over 60mph. It's not pulling to left/right and there is no vibration in the steering. The vibration is mainly felt in the drivers seat. I'm wondering why this may be. Tyres? Tracking?
Anyways... hello to you all, I'm off for a drive!!!
