Right then as you all may or may not have known my old car was a bmw e46 3 series saloon that i loved and used, however there comes a time when you need to move on and up in the car list so i thought to myself why not and went for it last friday!
here is my good old friend brad (bmw 3 series)
And after going to pick up my new car I am now the proud owner of a 3 litre BMW Z4 with low millage in Maldives blue! and her name is Zara so here she is:
I know the pics rant great but she is a dream to drive and goes so well! after only two days of ownership I have already decided to make a tiny little mod list ready for the next year or two, some things that ill do this summer and the rest next year!
The list is:
Stubby Ariel - Fitted
Retrimed steering wheel - in the next two weeks
19" staggered deep concave alloys in black - Next year
Black kidney grills - Next year
Maldeaves blue break callipers - Next year
Clear indicators - Next year
Dodo Jucie cleaning session - Next week
So then first thing will be to get her all cleaned up and polished and remove all of the swirl marks and make her look brand new again, after that ill post some pics, I'm also going to be getting a retrimmed steering wheel pretty soon, calling tomorrow.
So thats all for now, I'm hopefully going to be able to give her a wash tomorrow and taking her for a checkup with my mechanic too.
Big jump from what you had before. Hopefully the insurance doesn't rape you over it.
Have you photoshopped some of your plans yet? I get a bad feeling the black wheels, black grill and de-ambered lights might make it look cheap. It's your car obviously, but it isn't great when you spend a good bit of money on wheels and tyres and hate the look of it.
Not yet I havnt but not 100% on the black yet ill be trying it out one day, but I do like the idea of the black alloys showing off the blue callipers, and again i might de amber it or just leave it as is, still got a lot of thinking to do yet
Will have a go at photoshoping it another day this week to see what it would look like and will post the results!
Not very mech savvy lol yeah mine is full amber all the way around and am going to get on to the photoshopping on wednesday hopefully lol
as for the wheels these are what Im looking at:
Think in full matt black with black centre caps with 8.5" fronts and 10" rears with 19" all round will look mean as will have a go soon with photoshop like I said
will be nice to see what happens lol, got to take some nice pics of my car first though to photoshop
so today it cleared up for about 2-3 hours where i decided to clean Zara's sexy body with some very nice smelling shampoo by dodo juice,
after this it tipped it down with rain so then got chance for a quick few pics down the road before it was too dirty again so here you go guys:
Also photoshopped the alloys onto the car that I'm looking at, and Im thinking of scrapping the black and going for brushed aluminium instead! as they look a lot nicer!
Black look more distinctive, I agree go better with the roof. they fit the roadster look. other ones clash with the roof and made me think they should be on E92 coupe
I will take a side on pic int he same place when the sun finally gives me chance and try photoshopping the wheels on with the roof down for more comparison, as I'm not 100% not he black or the brushed aluminium yet, however i do know I'm waiting till next year as the set I like cost a fortune in there own right ha!
Yeah I'm trying to figure it all out in my won head, and not sure yet on whether to keep the ambers or go clear, plus deciding on black and aluminium will take me a long time hahaha
as for the price i haven't mentioned it yet, but she was £6500 from just up the road, was a great find as i viewed quiet a few and was disappointed with the condition and some of those were a lot higher in price
So i photoshopped some alloys onto the car witht he roof down and tried to make it look real, let me know what you think:
MOD LIST:
Stubby Ariel - Fitted
Retrimed steering wheel - ORDERED (fitting next tuesday)
19" staggered deep concave alloys in Aluminium (or black) - Next year
New kidney grills - Next year
Maldives blue break callipers - Next year
