Being truthful I've never liked these car, as a lad at work has one and it's looks abused and wrecked.
But I quite like yours rob

Cheers Clarkson.
Quite a lot end up a little worse for wear because they can be costly to maintain, but that's what comes from buying a car that was 35k or whatever when new.
I always try to tidy my cars up, so this one's no different.

Oh, and thanks for letting me use the washing facilities
Looks hard! Just a shame about the colour of wheels!
I know, I know. Painting them was effort, I get so bored of sanding!!!!

Thank god! That's the impression I'm trying to give to my place of work. "Can't even afford new tyres" is the angle I'm going for.
LOL! Cheers Vein.
You're right, but this would make me look richer. But really, I'll be getting one at some point.
Kinda like the wheel colour
Had a hit to the head?
FLOL!
I like it on the bogey green wheels
The wheels themselves are great, just a shame we painted them funny TBH.

I love it on these wheels (not the colour though). Seems to give it a more purposeful stance. What have you done with that bumper mate?

The key fob charges while you're driving it.

It's in my garage, lol.
Cheers, yeah I've sorted it now!
For some reason I needed to resync it with the car again, worked a treat after that. I'm glad it worked, the key costs a couple of hundred quid

Cheers mate. It's still at Lukes
(blame Luke). But I'm in no rush to get it painted, it just something I wanted done.Thanks for that, I'll swap key fobs over every once in a while! ha!
Care to give me the re-sync thing? I lost the ability to drop/close my windows with the key and think it may need syncing.
Winter rubber?? Old track rubber that have glazed and drive like I'm on ice you mean? Yeah, that's what I fitted

Couldnt tell you off the top of my head mate but do a search on the z4forums, easy enough, lots of seemingly random clicks at certain times!

Turns out winter wheels were a good idea this year:
Strip down of the BBS will commence this week, I'll photograph it as I go through.

I should have come over mate!
Vein, I've done loads of miles, including quite a few just for fun, it's such a controllable car with the light back, it doesn't have a lot of weight to pull you about so I drove around a lot of deserted roads in Luton/Sidcup very sideways having great fun.

If you're like me you haven't exactly had a wealth of chances to try and get the car sideways, i.e somewhere you don't have to worry about hitting something if you spin or whatever.
The snow is a great place to have a go and see how it reacts because it'll do what it normally does but in slow motion/with a lot less power. I'd definitely get out and try find a car park that's still iced over!

What are the wheels off? Got a pic of the actual wheel?

I spend far too much time sideways
Cars looking good mate, they sound fantastic with a fruity exhaust
Cheers Russ, I can't wait to get it back to summer mode though, along with a bushes refresh and alignment I should be in love with it again.
I have been considering an exhaust but I'd need to buy a new sound generator as having the foam removed from mine means lots of induction noise, and tbh I'd only want one or the other!
Does it make them droney at motorway speeds?
The wheels are actually BMW style 32's...
They've got an "interesting" paint job we did for a track day for a laugh (which looking back I regret because they're lovely wheels).
They're sprakling graphite splattered with luminous green....
I've left them dirty all winter...

Just had a quick browse, really like your z4. I'm really warming to these after a good friend of mine had a 3.0 with with what I think was some sort of m spec leather interior. Only thing he had me do to that was change the hydraulic roof motor after it failed to to water ingress. Still wasn't a bad job.
Great car mate

I think that's the //M? I'd love to be proved wrong though!
Well, I didn't do the mod, Laura, did, so I'm not entirely sure what the foam is supposed to look like. If I could see some pics of some or something maybe I could cut a sponge up and stick it in? lol!
Thanks mate, I love the sport seats, but they're an expensive game! I have the standard black leather which is OK, but the sports leather just looks immense. I've been pretty lucky with my roof motor so far, next weekend I'm going to clear the drain holes out as this is supposed to stop the problem.
It depends on what make you go for Rob, some can be a right earfull, and it's hard to decide what is loud and what isn't - have a bit of time on youtube and have a listen, see what you like, as some sound awesome
Maybe I'll have a look, I'm not sure if I'd regret it or not...
