Very, very nice. My first mod would have to be the one that opens and closes the roof with the key and the one touch module so you don't have to hold the button down inside the car to operate the roof :D

Did you take these pics or were these the ones from the seller? If they are from the seller, its nice to see some decent pictures taken to advertise a car which so many sellers forget to do :head:

They really make it look stunning :bow

The new group buy.....

http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic ... 6&start=45

page 4 half way down is pricing

You 'must' get the Remote Control Hood plus the One Touch close. (RCH+) £95.99 +p&p
The remote means with a sequence of 3 presses on the key fob it will open or close the roof , whilst you walk up to or away from the car.
The One Touch means you press the button in the car for half a second and let go and the roof will continue to open or close fully whilst you drive away.
I had this on both of my Z4's.... they are brilliant.
They take 15 minutes to fit under the ashtray, and you just connect 5 wires into the harness, He provides Scotchlok connectors but it is better to solder them. cos scotchloks are not as good.

Then go for the Intravee set up which displays playlists etc from your iPod/iPhone on the sat nav screen.

Lovely car with the MSports seats too.. enjoy

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Hi si-forks. Looks tasty. My son is looking for something similar. Do you mind me asking was it a dealer or private purchase? Where did you see it advertised? Enjoy the 3litre. :-)

Not alot to be honest, snapped rear springs, ensure roof operates smoothly and as it should, worth just checking engine bay brace isn't cracked, I think this was more on the coupe's, have a listen to the engine at idle for any cluch release bearing issues, usual stuff for any signs of body repairs, ensure all electrics work etc.

ticking on the si engines, valve lifters can stick and BMW have even fitted complete modified cylinder heads in the past to try and cure them. If you hear any ticking log it with the dealers now whilst the warranty is in place. If it gets worse you can then say well I let you know.
