I've owned my Z4 for 3/4 months one and thought it time I start documenting any progress made with the car in one place
The car is a 2004 2.5 in silver with black leather, the car has had 1 previous lady owner from new with a full history and a genuine 36k miles. I was picky about a few bits I was looking for one being heated seats which in my opinion are a must in a convertible and the elipsoid wheels having always liked them.
I was also fortunate enough for the car to have had a new hood motor a few months prior to me buying it as I am now aware this is the Achilles heal of the Z4
Anyway some pictures :
Overall I'm really pleased with the car, there's a few cosmetic issues to do all of which will be done when the weather improves. The wheels all need refurbishing, and the front bumper has 1/2 parking scuffs.
Plans for the car are as follows;
Refurbish the wheels in either standard colour or more light gunmetal shade
Ditch the run flats - i know this is a popular thing to do, they really are too harsh especially for the roads around where I live so they will be replaced at the earliest opportunity.
Eibach pro kit lowering springs and 10/15mm spacers - again another popular mod but I like my cars to look a little more squat than standard and the fact that they actually improve the cars ride further makes it a no brainer.
Potentially upgrade stereo to Alpine Ida with speakers to match
Front and rear strut braces
Brake upgrade to 3.0 spec
To unlock a little more induction noise whether it's by fitting the sound generator from a 3.0 or aftermarket filter with heat shield etc
As always all comments/opinions welcome
