All being well Paul, got to give it a damn good clean though. Dealer said he would chuck a bucket of water over it before we picked it up, and I think he did just that
New owner of the E85 will make himself known later I think

Lovely Tony
You can buy some completely different models which include led lights in a chrome housing. Almost £100 a pair, but essential.Absolutely breathtaking colour combination, white exterior offers plenty of possibilities for modifications, you'll have a nice time for sure!
I haven't dealt with E89 so far, so what's wrong with the side indicators @Nodzed ?
Regards
Dominik
Tony.
I guess the money can be spent on worse stuff than that 
I'm anxious to see what they'll look like. A shame the side indicators are no more integrated in the BMW badge.

Anyway, I got stuck in after Roy and Andy left for home. Shirl had gone out with Gary and Izzy to visit a local horse care centre.
First job was fitting these because I had 1 set left and because they make your car go faster,
you ask @andyglym.
The car is on Bridgestone Potenza (runflats) on a staggered set up.
Wheels are style 296.
Next thing was I started cleaning and treating the lovely red leather.
Driver's side done so turned around and ready to do the passenger's side incase it's wet in the morning.
See a before and after view, was well ready for it. Another little plan for tomorrow and one done today.
More tomorrow, hopefully.

Very nice Tony.
Where did you get the air valve caps from?
I had a set on my Z but they were stolen :-(
And what are you treating the leather with?

I'm using some Andyglym products Dawn 
, leather cleaner and leather balm excellent products. Started using it way back when I had my Mazda Eunos about 15 years ago, it still has a great smell!!

And the tyre valve caps from…?
Absolutely Keith, horrible things. My E85 was on them when I got it, sad to say these are nearly new with 8mm on them.
They grip well but road noise isn't nice on the tar and gravel surfaces we have locally.Tony.
Looking great Tony. I can confirm that shiny dust caps do make your Zed go faster
Scrounged from outside tyre fitters at Tanvic Tyres, where they got them from .................................... ask no questions etc. etc.

I found this on YouTube, it shoes the replacement side repeaters being fitted. A huge improvement.I guess the money can be spent on worse stuff than that

Only bought it so I won't get involved in another Z3 is better, nicer, more old school than an E85 Z4 Pete (s***, I hope than didn't mean all Z4s) , and if you believe that you'll believe anything. It's a stunning car mate, handling sharp as a tack and I'm happy the old one went to a good home too. I do like the styling of the E89, where the centre console is more like the Z3 and also I like the "clamshell" bonnet too.
