Hey All,
I'm Nero, I'm an electronic engineer who choses to teach
I've been into cars for at least 20 years.
I seem to enjoy tinkering more than the driving aspect!!
I had a MK Indy(pic included) with a 2l pinto in it, but after a couple of operations I found it increasingly hard to get in and out of, also, I was fed up being caught out in the rain!!
So..
I bought this (i think its the cheapest z4 in the uk) with the intention of returning it to stock..
I'm sure I will have many questions over the coming months, I am also fairly knowledgeable on a few bits and pieces so I hope I can offer advice as well as ask for it.
So far..
I've replaced the center brake light and given a quick detail..

Yes sorry electronic/electrical. Huge difference.
And yep, had a foot in holland and uk for the past 16 years now. Prefer Holland tbh. Prepares for backlash...
