We have a new member in the ranks. @Holliez4 She’s bought herself a stunning Z4 Roadie with the M54B25 lump, car has plenty of goodies. Having been previously owned by an Z4 enthusiast you get a good impression it’s been relatively well looked after. For its age and spec it’s a steal.

First up are the day of sale photos.

Within days hollie didn’t mess about buying lots of new bits. First up were the brakes. Along with a service and some new sensors.

Starting with the service and new oil level sensor

This weekend Hollie wanted to take her Zed to the next level, she’s surrounded by noisy zeds so it was only right we gave it a full stainless exhaust system. While under there we removed the prop and replaced the handbrake mech. The Z4 handbrake has a design flaw where if you don’t pull the button in it wears down the teeth on the mechanism, see here.

Working mechanism we saved from the last Z4 we broke.

These exhausts are a bargain for £340! Such good workmanship.

Messaged them today about Z3 exhausts..gap in the market for off the shelf stainless, especially as most OEM z3 exhausts are approaching the end of their natural life. If anyone else wants to ask them too😎👍

As far as I’m aware they only do Z4 E85/E89 I’ve tried getting them to consider doing a Z3 but they don’t seem interested.
