New Z4 from the Netherlands

Post by Deejac » Tue Aug 15, 2017 10:50 pm

Hi everyone,

After 4 years of owning an enjoyable Z3 1.9, I finally upgraded to a Z4. I imported it myself from a private owner in München (Germany). It has the right combination for me; 3.0i, 6-speed manual, blue color, beige leather. :driving:
So far, I changed the original style 108 wheels (corrosion) for style m193 wheels, refreshed the fluids, installed an AUX cable and unplugged the soft-top drains.

Cheers,
Jack

Hi and welcome OP.

You've found a great looking Z4 there, and I really like those wheels. :thumbsup: Are they a bolt-on fit with no rubbing and no spacers required? (I quite fancy a change from my 108s while they are still in decent condition)!

Welcome to the forum - those wheels do look good.
Being a left hand drive will be a bit of a bastard though :? . I had a LHD Fiat X/19 many years ago, and it was always a bit of an event trying to pass anything as you have to drop back far enough to be able to see past the vehicle in front, then make that gap back up quickly and overtake...

EDIT - Sorry, just saw you're in the Netherlands :lol: :roll:

Enjoy the new Z4 with the steering wheel on the correct side for you :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the reactions! :D

@Mr Tidy; Yes, they fit without any troubles. The ET-values are a bit different though.
The 108's, et 47 and et 50
The 193's, et 34 and et 37
I can't really feel a difference while driving, but it definitively looks better from behind.
