Timeless design. Absolutely beautiful. My dream car. Most underrated sports car on this planet.
you said it perfectly Frank. Totally underrated and such a gorgeous vehicle. I've been daily driving it since the beginning of June, regardless of the weather. Thanks for watching!
I own a BMW M4 and an E89 Z4 but picked up a 3.0i E85 last year. Beautiful car! When these were new I was just starting my career and only rich business people drove them. Now that I am a rich business guy I bought one. 😀 For about $400 you can get the LED halo headlights. They really make the car look like a modern BMW. Thanks for the video!
Greetings from Germany from another bearded E85 driver, and thanks for your nice introduction of yours. It is like a timemachine from a happier era and always a pleasure to enjoy the inline 6 in that tiny body.
Thank you for watching! Also, i have a random question for you. How fast have you had your Z4 on the amazing German highways that you have access to? Not that I promote or enjoy excessive speed or fast driving, but I'm curious how it handles at speeds above 90 MPH..
Great video. I'm a proud owner of e85 too. There's actually a bluetooth module adopter being sold on Amazon for 20 bucks. Easy install and clean.
Funny you mention that adapter, I JUST installed that a couple days ago and it works fantastically! Easy and very useful upgrade. Thank you for watching!

Awesome video GTyar. Your enthusiasm for your car is infectious brother. Good to see your video. Thank you for showing off your new roadster. Looking forward to the next video. 👍
As always, Thank YOU so much for your support and your kind words. Hope you have a relaxing sunday bro!
I have a 2005 2.2 with 90kms on the clock. I have had it sitting in a shed for three years, occasionally getting a short ride (about every third Sunday afternoon). I keep thinking it needs to be sold, but every time I watch a video like this I feel that I really really really cant let it go.
Welcome ot the Z4 club!
The beep I think is if you have something on the passenger seat it sets the seat belt alarm off but only one beep, mine does but yours might be for something else. Or the reverse sensors sometimes beep. My rocker gasket is leaking so going to fix that. I purchased cup holders and put them in myself…..dead easy 2 screws. I’m not sure if you are a fan or if you think the car has a sporty enough sound but look up CZcams “Z4 backbox delete” something you might want. I did it and it’s the best sound ever. But you are right what you say about the driving of the car. It’s an absolute pleasure to drive and hugs the road exceptionally well. Best BMW ever I recon 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks for the intel Garry! I'm very curious about this backbox delete... I'm definitely going to check that out. If i could make the burble i hear even louder, that would be pure magic. I love your enthusiasm for your car! Also great to hear that the cupholders are easy to replace, I might try and tackle that project next.
Finally got around to watching this, so glad you figured out the roof situation by yourself I could imagine a shop would just default to replacing the entire hydraulic system, put it back in its original spot and never touch the gutter lol. So good on ya for the utilitarian fix. Also love Chimkin and the car looks like a dream.
Yes, i was so fired up when i finally got to that hydraulic motor and extracted it from its watery tomb. Chimkin was also excited =-). Thank you for watching!
And they were made in America in Carolina I think and there were only not quite three hundred thousand built so they are a keeper investment 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Just bought a 2005.
Looking forward to more videos.
Looking forward to making them =-) Congrats on your acquisition and thanks for watching!
Have a look underneath you’re heater dials that’s were I found my aux input when I was cleaning my z4 I don’t know if the pre facelifts have them hope this helps good luck with ur new Z4 👍🏼
Enjoyed the show & tell, truly not much work do be done on a 20 year old car. Glad you got the roof working :) The Turbine wheels are lovely, maybe a refurb at some point? I got mine done about 8 years ago and it was so worth it, although mine are not the Turbine style and are tricky to clean, probably the slowest part of a basic wash. Shame about the headlights, I think they are beyond a refurb with all the oxidisation and the leak issue you had, maybe a nice clean used set can be acquired?
The engine bay is so clean and the underside looks incredible too. There's so much to love about the e85 and anytime I watch any videos I just want to get out and drive mine. Regarding the bleep, mine sometimes does it on start up and I have no idea why either? but it will do it when the temp outside is low and the temp LED reading flashes to warn of possible icy conditions which is good. Enjoy the car during the months ahead, I live in Ireland so the summers are short, just nice to get the roof down and hear that raspy straight 6 and the wind in your hair.
Thank you for your intel Mick! Yes, this e85 really is amazingly clean, aside from the headlights of course. I do agree about the headlights, they are too far gone to try and rehab. I am actually looking for replacements on ebay, but will most likely wait till the end of summer before acquiring anything. Also, the Turbine wheels are definitely in need of a repaint, which i will also take care of once summer is over. I'm so in love with these wheels by the way, so unique and striking, and ultra easy to clean. Thank you for your support and I hope your enjoying your summer in Ireland!
Dope
Super easy with the cup holder. Yehhhhh deffo do the back box delete. That deep sound suddenly becomes a head turner. Get her really warm like get engine to fully heated up, for me usually takes 5-10 minutes. Then second gear wind her up 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘the top end roar suddenly becomes a “proper racing motor” sound…… gotta hear it to understand. You will actually laugh to yourself it sounds “that good”. Mods and stuff is easy to do like stick on carbon fibre kits that fit over things really well……actually improves and if it’s not your thing it’s easy removable. Tasteful without taking the style of the original look. Yep she’s low😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑 I’ve bought the large plastic splash guard for under the motor, stops wet spray coming up into the botttof the engine bay but being low….. I know how the original one is missing……probably speed bumps victim. I’m of a thought that they are one of the nicest body shapes I’ve seen👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
