Checked it. Looks like the engine is there. What's the problem? Powershift posted:I love those things. Right? If it gets quiet, you need to make sure something hasn't fallen off. Scionix posted:This thing rips You mean the corners below the headlights? Hard agree. That just looks like it's a base model with unpainted fascia (in that spot, anyway.)

dphi posted:Are you going to try to match the factory paint with wrap? I'd actually like to see how that turns out looking, also not a fan of that design decision. Yeah, gonna just match the oem gray, should be pretty cheap too, no need to take off the front bumper. I am also gonna remove the Hyundai badges and the lettering on the back. I’m not ashamed of owning a Hyundai or anything, I just like the badgeless look better.

Picking it up on Monday to replace the boy’s troubled Volvo V70. 2003 Z4 2.5i 5-speed , about 112k miles. The story is the shop owner had this car sitting in a garage bay for a while to use it as a parts car but didn’t take anything off it, so he had his daughter use it as an art project. He just put new brakes on it along with some other stuff, and brought it to Carlisle to sell. It’s getting inspected Monday. Needs a good interior cleaning but we plan on keeping the paint as-is and getting a matching custom plate. Suggestions are welcome.

Nobody thinks anything about you, but the fact that the "Z" label is currently ruined isn't really in question. In the general public, reception may not be rosy.

You only need to add 3 more lines to each Z to make it into the strike symbol and then people will just think you're a big Family Fued fan instead of a Putin loving fascist.

If you don't give a poo poo what a bunch of people say on the internet then don't give a poo poo what a bunch of people say on the internet and instead ride through your car show where nobody cares rather than bitching about people, on the internet. Your average not-online person is probably going to be a lot more familiar with the Russian Ukraine War though rather than going "Ah, a Z on a BMW, must have to do with the Z Roadster" though, probably. Spray painted Zs mean a thing now, and it isn't BMW.

And Nissan, for that matter. Very few people associate "Z" cars with BMW. Plus, the fact that the Russian "Z"s were spray paint scrawled on things complicates a gray car with "Z"s spray paint scrawled on them. What I was going to say before all the hubbub, was that it looks like a combination of vinyl, spray paint, and permanent marker. It'd be trivial to get the vinyl off, the spray paint would be pretty easy. The permanent marker should be easy to clean up, too. Unless you really like the spray painted "Z" scrawl.

Has everyone forgotten that this is a Z4 we're looking at? A Z 4. Z 4. It is commonly referred to as a Z car. Because that's what small BMW roadsters are. Z cars.
