Time to say hi!
Hi everyone!
I bought my 2003 Z4 3.0i a week ago today and joined the forum straight away-happy to say it's been smiles on both fronts! Am loving the Zed-it's a fantastic car to drive & seem to be finding every excuse to pop down the shops or pick the Mrs up just to be able to bury the throttle. I'm keen on keeping it as OEM as possible but the 2 mods I've done since owning it have been the sound generator mod...he he he-god that noise makes me grin like a loony The other mod was a bottle of Zymol leather cleaner to get rid of 12 years worth of previous owners greasy hand sweat off my steering wheel. I'm by no means OCD but you should've seen the filth on the terry towel when I was done
I'm based in Twickenham but have strong connections with Kent still & would like to pop along to any meets/cruises in either Kent or Surrey-seems like plenty of Z4 owners in both places!
I'm attaching photos (if I've mastered Photobucket correctly) and the spec list cos I know you guys love it! The car is pretty fully specced so I've got more bits n bobs on it than the 07 320d I chopped in for it-can't get enough of the electric folding wing mirrors: simple things please simple minds eh?
Great forum by the way, from what I've seen so far everyone seems friendly and like minded so thanks for having me onboard!

Re: Time to say hi!
Welcome to the Forum, great looking Zed.
Re your steering wheel - Swiftly put me onto 'magic sponges' (cost very little on ebay - come in packs) with a little water to dampen one you can really clean up the leather wheel (I was amazed how much muck came off) and get it back to a lovely rubbery feel - I do mine regularly as I like the look and feel of it matt - a bit of leather treatment from time to time keeps it in top condition.
