BMW Z4 Coupe

[Mehowski]

Fingers crossed you'll get as good of a parking spot on Saturday as you did last year

Very keen to get another go at shooting this!

Not a major update, just getting the car ready for summer and all that good stuff. The roadster has been receiving much of my effort and time as of late.

Ended up replacing the discs, pads and sensors. All with ATE parts. No need for pictures, pretty self explanatory there.

Next step was to remove the daytonas. With the wheels off, I was an opportunity to clean the barrels properly and hit them with a good amount of sealant.

Next came the MOT. (Borrowed a set of mv3's for that, thanks mum!).

I almost didn't want to give them back!

Pleased to say that the car passed! Now onto preparing the car for this Saturday where it'll be at Goodwood for Players Classic.

Started with new grills (which are now fitted) as well as fog light blanking plates, and lastly, a new front splitter.

Oh yeah, and you can see the Tiger Claws made their way onto the roadster. :

this thing is so swanky, weird to think 30 years from now this car is going to be an absolute icon

Just followed you on insta and noticed you daily another Z4, but a roadster! That's awesome! How does it compare to the coupe?

Anyways love you're build, so clean and simple, yet still striking, keep it up!

Cheers!

To put it simply, it doesn't compare! The coupe feels so much more polished and refined (comparing pre-facelift to facelift models too).

The roadster is great as a cheap daily but it'll never replace the coupe!

Speaking of which...

Ended up swapping the pads on the car prior to needing an MOT later this month.

Used it more as an opportunity to play with some new equipment!

A few from Westside in September, here are some of the pictures of the car!







and lastly, some I got after Westside. I wasn't really going for a 'look' just found a cool-ish location after taking the long way home!

Looks good man, I dig the new color of the wheels.

[Mehowski]

Car looked lovely on Sunday, I took a couple shots of it, I'll chuck em here when I get through all my pictures. Also your photography is amazing man!

[Queef|Chief]

Bet this is such a fun car! And with a built in pussy magnet im sure you get plenty of attention

[NeilP]

I don't know what it is about this current wheel set up but the car it so much more attractive than it was on the tiger claws.
Really like it how it is at the moment.
You planning on attending Players this month? Would love to see this thing again and take some more pictures.

Cheers! Yeah I was at players today!

So...'update' to this thread.

Spent the past three days preparing the car for Players.

Lots of polish and wax ended up giving it a pretty good finish which I was happy with.

Still need to get the front end resprayed though.

A few ideas floating about...going to wait it out and see what happens.

Need to sell the current daily first and get a more 'interesting' daily.

In the mean time...
