What a first week
So I picked up my Z4C just over a week ago, so I thought i'd give a little update.
I've covered just over 900 miles of mostly motorways (unfortunately), but also with a cracking drive up the Horseshoe Pass in north Wales a few times. I still absolutely love it!!
I'm not going to be doing much to the car modifications wise. I have however been looking up the sound generator mod, it just needs o sound a touch fruitier to go with the performance, but we'll see.
The car get's a lot of attention, the people who know what it is remark of how rare they are, and the people who don't think it's some kind of exotic sports car!
Anyway, here's a gratuitous picture parked in front of the house:

(Yeah, it's a bit dirty, being cleaned tomorrow )

Welcome to the forum!
Sound generator? I'm sure at the end of next week you'll have a few other things you want to pursue as well
Be sure to get some more pics up tomorrow

Looks fantastic!
I'm also a new coupe owner, so know what you're feeling. The blue is really smart.
Hope you get a nice drive in this weekend, I heard a rumour the sun will shine

Lovely car. Fast becoming a classic.
Other easy and cheap mods if you're a manual is CDV removal and a weighted gearknob (ZHP or Storm-Motorwerks V1 or V2) really improve the shift. (Hopefully you're on normal tyres and not runflats)
