Is that a shortened number plate? These early E85 fronts with the 'shark mouth' look great, better than facelift but the short plate makes it a bit 'Hitlerish'? maybe it's just that it's blacked out, just IMHO a short plate does'nt go with a 'long mouth grill' underneath. Car looks a very clean example.

Just a thought, I'm no styling guru..
now that i keep looking at it im going to remove it lol

Good idea, they do look good the pre-facelift cars with the front plate removed, especially the big bulky thing we have over here. Wish it was road legal this side of the pond to dump it!

I think small UK plates look good on any Z4 bumper (assuming you don't wish to go illegal and no plate)

Bumper evolution on mine, but always with a small plate:

Perhaps I should run a spot the difference from 'new' to now. Seats, bumper, wheels, lights, sills, etc.

Yes - I think so. Was a day last year just driving around the Peak District

Nice road from behind the car up a typical Derbys. dry valley


Thanks Marlon. Not too shabby for a 13 year old car
