Hi all, my name's Craig and I've recently purchased a 2.0 SE Z4. Car has full service history and is in great condition with 40k miles. Overall I'm chuffed as nuts with it :thumbsup:

I know some observant members will notice that I've been a member since 2011!! Confession time... This is my second Z4, first being a 3.0 pre face lift in Maldives blue with Aero body kit (I'll get some pics up if I can get them off PC). I used the forum a fair bit back then but never posted. Now it's time to make amends since it's only fair to give back to the community :D

After my 3.0 I moved to a 3.2 V6 DSG TT. What a car... but at 24 mpg I couldn't justify the running costs

So after making some good memories in my previous Z4 I thought I'd give it another bash! As a daily driver I'm finding the 2.0L to be a nice compromise between £££ and 'Go-Go-Go' haha!!

So far I'm loving it, even turned my hand to modding for the first time. Yesterday I wrapped the aluminium trim with carbon-look vinyl

Totally chuffed with the finish, and surprised myself with my ability to do it!! Trust me, if I can, anyone can haha!!

Next mod, replacing the lil biscuit tin lid wheels :thumbsup:

Hope you like the pics!

What did you use on the area below the hand brake? Looks like a little tray arrangement?

Thanks! No tray arrangement- my gym pass is under the handbrake in the last picture. Maybe a bit of an illusion :D

Hi Javi!

Yes I've seen some of your posts! You've had a few sets of wheels over the years if I recall? A nice set of wheels makes a massive difference imo :thumbsup:

Nice mod, well beyond my skills, I've got a 2.0 as a daily driver, no complaints whatsoever. :thumbsup:

Haha, as I said if I can do it anyone can. I'm generally useless at this sort of stuff! My tips would be to keep a track of the million screws you remove and don't be scared to pull ridiculously hard on the trim!! At some points I thought I was going to pull my shoulders out their joints :o Testament to a well built car I guess!!

I'm loving the 2.0! Was a tad apprehensive after the power of the 3.0i and TT but I actually really like it! She's a gutsy beast :rofl:
