New Z4 Owner in Cambridge

[IAmOrion]

Hi everyone,

I picked mine up Sunday 12th June and so far am happy. I am "IAmOrion" aka James, from Cambridge!

I've bought it as a "do-er-upper" as it needs some TLC. The body work has some scrapings and a dent one side where the 3.0i logo is. The roof doesn't work, driver side headlight fixings are broken, wheels need re-furbishing, it is a CAT D but obv VIC passed. Has the 6CD Changer, Sat Nav, Electric Memory Seats, Folding mirrors etc etc. 71,000 miles, just serviced, few parts replaced and passed MOT with no advisories (The headlight sits in place fine... I'm assuming no one poked it during the test lol)

All in all, I paid £1500 so I'm happy. Nice project car to keep me occupied at weekends.

Hi James and welcome from me near Lincoln, another E85 3.0i owner. You will have fun doing up your car and enjoy it on sunny days in between I'm sure. If you need info please shout up.

Tony.

If you fancy a roadster decal for the centre brake light I still have a couple left.

Looks like a nice interior in there too. I think you did very well for £1,500. You ought to do a progress thread then you'll have a record of what you have done. Mine is titled "My Z4 . . . . . . My way" in the Progress thread forum. Look forwards to seeing your posts mate.

Tony.

Thanks No decals needed - I literally just bought my self a vinyl cutter! Arrived today. Planning on making some Z4 E85 Perspex windbreakers. Instead of paying an american company near on £400 - or other UK companies £100, when you can DIY it for £20

Very nice! How much did that cost you if you don't mine me asking??

Is that perspex inside an original deflector frame?

 

[andyglym]

to the forum from West Cumbria. Great price

 

[t-tony]

I can't remember exactly but inc. the engraving around £32 I think. Yes it fits inside the original frame next to the mesh.

Doesn't include the side marker roundels though - I bought 2 x 82mm and made them fit lol

I'm still debating actually, I *think* permanent - but going to add a remote too I think
