Loos like you've got some replacement lights fitted, they look very smart.
Had to settle for the Zed, how dare you .
I hope there is a good amount of sarcasm in your post :poke:

Yep, plenty of plans, just requires plenty of money now :rofl:

The usual things really, lower it slightly, new wheels, spoiler, splitter, skirts, hopefully think up a few small unique mods along the way :)
Look forward to your plans, agree with the funds! Never seem to be enough for all my ideas!

Hi everyone I am new to the group
I recently found this Z4 forum. Interesting discussion points and exactly what I was looking for,

In September 2016 I bought a Z 4 2.2i se E85 2004 , excellent condition inside and out. Had been looked after before the last owner, with 64k miles shown and two owners from new with full service history, up to the point of sale. It required a new mot, new tyres, tracking and brakes discs and pads,

I spent the winter washing cleaning the bodywork, having it serviced by local dealer, new mot, I then put into my garage and hibernation for the winter. On getting it out for its first run in March I hit a pot hole and broke a front off side spring. I manage to get the garage to collect and had both springs replaced.

However I have noticed that when driving at normal speeds 30. 40 mph in a straight line, I occasionally feel like the steering wheel is sticking, it then frees itself, cornering
and roundabouts are ok. But it seem worst when it is warm or sunny.

As anyone else experienced similar or know of this problem.
