My Z4 ........................... My Way (Part 2).

What you got planned mods wise Tony?
 
Bit of a shock Tony, makes mine even rarer now. Will we be seeing the new steed at Beckingham, can form a pair of bookends with Denise and Keith

All being well Paul, got to give it a damn good clean though. Dealer said he would chuck a bucket of water over it before we picked it up, and I think he did just that =))
New owner of the E85 will make himself known later I think

Absolutely breathtaking colour combination, white exterior offers plenty of possibilities for modifications, you'll have a nice time for sure! :scorecard:

I haven't dealt with E89 so far, so what's wrong with the side indicators @Nodzed ?

You can buy some completely different models which include led lights in a chrome housing. Almost £100 a pair, but essential.

Anyway, I got stuck in after Roy and Andy left for home. Shirl had gone out with Gary and Izzy to visit a local horse care centre.
First job was fitting these because I had 1 set left and because they make your car go faster,

The car is on Bridgestone Potenza (runflats) on a staggered set up.

Very nice Tony.
Where did you get the air valve caps from?
I had a set on my Z but they were stolen :-(
And what are you treating the leather with?
 
I'm using some Andyglym products Dawn ;), leather cleaner and leather balm excellent products. Started using it way back when I had my Mazda Eunos about 15 years ago, it still has a great smell!!

Definitely get shot of the run flats on the 19's when the time comes.
 
And the tyre valve caps from…?

Absolutely Keith, horrible things. My E85 was on them when I got it, sad to say these are nearly new with 8mm on them.:( They grip well but road noise isn't nice on the tar and gravel surfaces we have locally.

Scrounged from outside tyre fitters at Tanvic Tyres, where they got them from .................................... ask no questions etc. etc.;)

Only bought it so I won't get involved in another Z3 is better, nicer, more old school than an E85 Z4 Pete ;) (s***, I hope than didn't mean all Z4s=))) , and if you believe that you'll believe anything:thumbsup:. It's a stunning car mate, handling sharp as a tack and I'm happy the old one went to a good home too. I do like the styling of the E89, where the centre console is more like the Z3 and also I like the "clamshell" bonnet too.
