You say it come from Scotland? Any pics before so we can see what the salt and bad weather does?
Also love the rear lights. Where did you get them?

Great to see another Z4 getting rescued M1TCH.
It looks great now, especially with that Bi-Colour interior!

Looks lovely!! Can I ask what tire sizes you’re running on the rear 224’s? I currently have 265, 40’s on mine, yours looks as if it’s sitting better.M1TCH wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 11:09 am After saving this at auction and being parked in Scotland for most of its life the restoration is nearly complete
