gave it a quick wash and got some pics, needs a polish/wax ideally but i didn't have time.

mods it has:

///M multi-function steering wheel.
///M gearknob.
///M front bumper.
satin black powdercoated ellipsoid alloys.

i've only done small bits so far to tidy it up:

fixed a broken cupholder.
stubby aerial.
new plates.
flatblade wipers.
wheel nut covers.
wheel arch fixings.
new wing mirror glass.
getting cruise control fitted next week (just need the stalk).
new windscreen also getting fitted as this one has a chip.

Love it but do think the wheels look cheap. Silver would be a lot better imo. Nice ride though

i agree, but don't want silver as then it'd be the same as all the others.

i may go for a glossy anthracite/black as when they're wet, they look good, but for now they will do. it's also really easy to keep them looking clean, as opposed to silver which shows up all the brake dust.

Looks bloody lovely that.

Sort of agree with wheel comments. Can't make out the detail but I wouldn't go silver as darker wheels on Z4s really brings out the side swooshes and chunky arches. Anthra is way forward.

Despise the fake carbon handles though!

Steering wheel is boss

get one

they are fantastic cars, and i've been getting 28mpg on the work commute (mixture of sitting at 70-80 and a quick overtake here and there). my focus used to struggle to get in the low 20's.

it sounds fantastic inside too, as the previous owner removed some foam which stopped the exhaust sound into the interior.

easy to drive so can cruise around or drive like a lunatic, only thing is the suspension is very firm so you do feel the bumps but you expect that.

cheers, got these pics just for you

the carbon handles are just to cover horrendous scratches to the paint underneath. cheap fix for now.

just had a look and wow, what a difference it made to his! don't think i'd be confident enough with opening the lights up though. may have to pay someone

handbag goes with my ray bans and hand cream

changes the throttle map iirc, nothing drastic, can only feel the change when driving like a madman.

rich - not too sure tbh. i'm 6ft and fit comfortably but my gelled up hair takes a battering from the wind. depends if you're tall because of your legs or body i guess.
