Sorry thought the S was for the sport button models. In which case I have 2.5i m54 question as above regarding pcv valve.

So life can be a funny old thing! Some times your ahead some times your behind. Some times your can just sink! I have some great things happening a second child on the way. And some really terrible stuff too. I can’t see me finishing this car any time soon and cash is going to be needed. So the Z4 is for sale.

I know I had help from people on hear. I will do a for sale add for all the big bits. But if you prove you donated and need want anything small from a Z4 for your Z4 message me. And it’s yours it’s the best I can do at this moment in time.
My little blue zed is in lots of bits. With lots of things started and not many finished! I may have found the limits of my time and ability!!

Oh no.
That's not good news :cry:
Of course getting your second child is, congrats :thumbsup: but I ment the car :lol:

Are you selling the complete car or do you do a part out?
The latter is of course more work but usually far more profiteable.

Sorry to hear things have forced this upon you. You must be gutted to have to walk away from all the hard work you've put into this :( .
I hope things come right for you and we can see you here in better times.

I would live someone to buy it and finish it. But it’s probably going to get broken. You fancy that ECU?

You have no idea how gutted I am. Suffice to say things are not great for me right now for this to happen.

If I strip the car of bits I will keep the chassis. It will still give me something to play with.

Sorry to hear you won’t be completing the project Mat. Was an interesting proposition and I was keen to see your progress and completion at some point but I can understand the deviation to a ‘new project’. :D

I think I slipped you a bullseye towards the build after you helped me solve my own issue with the troublesome throttlebody on my own zed when I first got it and for that I’m still eternally grateful!

I’d love put dibs on your battery bracket and bolt if poss?
And what are u doing with the nav screen if it has one?

Good luck with the new addition!
