Hi from Bourne, Lincs.

Just picked up myself this 2.5 '04 Z4 after a run of mx5's (and a Z3 a few years back).

Just a few jobs to do on it at the moment...

Full service
Fix/replace stereo (not working)
Replace wheel centre caps
Tidy alloys
Full detail

Ha, cheers. The other half of the garage has a run of metal cabinets down one wall so everything's away :D Painting it all gave me the excuse to throw everything out that wasn't needed.

Cheers all :thumbsup:

Few jobs done so far...

- Full service
- Got bonnet open (instead of a 2 second job turned into a 2 evening job as the catch had seized but thanks to the forum I found that's not uncommon and also how to get into it through the grilles and to free it up).
- Ordered alloy centre caps
- Removed stereo (dead.. even removing the front face and tightening up the catch holding the wobbly on off button didn't help) so that needs replacing
