Just bought 2003 Z4 2.5i. Needs a lot of work. Roof motor, new alloys, paintwork to start. Need to get it on a ramp to see what condition underneath is in. Wish me luck :D

Thanks Jabber. Might post some before and after pics when I get some of the work done. Don't think I've seen alloys so flaky before!

Yep. I think it's going to take a while. Not entirely sure the alloys are salvageable. Looking for something to replace them with.
