After a 2600 mile euro road trip last year in an un air conditioned Audi, I decided I needed something different, after melting in high 30's for 2 weeks.
I decided on a Z4, being a big BMW fan, having previously owned and dearly missing my E46 M3 and the GF having a E91 335d.
Bought back in July with 62000 miles on the clock and completely standard, still running the devils tyres, runflats.
Originally from Wellsway Bath, which strangely is where the E91 was also from.
Since then I have....
Fitted a stubby.
Machine polished and waxed.
CDV removed.
Fitted an aftermarket wind deflector.
Upgraded the crap stereo and speakers.
Fitted S2000 seats.
Recently pulled apart the old seats for the elements and fitted those to the Honda seats.
Meyle HD lollipop bushes.
De badged.
Lock blanks painted and fitted.
New rear bumper brackets.
Red film fitted over reverse light.
Refurbed some 108's(never again, lots of snapped bolts :-x )
MPS4 fitted all round
15/12mm spacers fitted.
New center badges.
Cruise retro fitted.
Eibach springs.
Treated hood with Autoglym water proofing.
'O2 pilot' mod to reduce oil consumption.
New Excide battery.
Pics.
Plans.
Maybe a rear ARB. Royal steering wheel re trim and ZHP knob. Other than that mostly overhauling stuff like bushes as and when they need doing.
Also plan on another road trip this summer. Only done about 1000 miles since purchase 9 months ago pottering around the South Hams, so will be good to get some proper use from it.
