Second roadster. First z4

Post by jmotsch » Mon May 22, 2017 1:51 pm

Hey all,
New z4 owner here in iowa. Came across a very clean and well maintained 03. About 70k miles. Sport and premium package including nav. Brand new tires, and paperwork of maintenance done on the car going several years back. I couldnt resist.

Like i said this is my second roadster. My other is a 1966 datsun roadster with a few odd ball mods. Here is a pic of it. Will probably be selling this.

The only issues with the z4 was a broken plastic peice on the nav screen preventing it from going up and down, which i have already fixed with plastic weld. The previous owners solution was to velcro it in the up position lol. Also, the rear console door needs replaced as the handle is broken. I have also added an aux input while i had the nav screen out.
Used plastic weld to repair broken piece on the nav

Let me know any other suggestions or things to look out for. Also any accessories or mods you have enjoyed on your car.

Also i have not found the answer to this, but is there a way to permanently turn up the brightness on the nav screen without it resetting everytime i turn the car off? Thanks

Hi and welcome.

Thanks for the pics - black Roadsters are the most photogenic. I like the Datsun as well, I haven't seen one of those before.

The main thing to look out for are the crazy guys trying to persuade you to replace that gorgeous whippy aerial with a stubby.

Enjoy :driving:
