highly doubt it would be amazed if it did.

the wheels were seized (moved it using 2 trolley jacks) so i can't see the engine being in the best shape

Obviously check it first. But new fuel and a few cranks with distributer disconnected then will be all good.

They did plastic covered original ones, then with the 1303 they went like that because of the curved not flat screen

It will be interesting when you're 80 and talking to your great-grandkids (let's face it, you live in Essex) about how when you were their age you owned a BMW Z4 and posted lots of pictures of it on the internet on a website based on a 1990's hatchback where you had a reputation for being an angry man
