I second the suggestion to do the oil change BEFORE storage and as you have not yet - change the coolant and brake fluids(every 2yrs from that point as well). Possibly the diff fluid as well if...

To see if it is fair I recommend running a value on KBB.com, NADA.com and Edmunds.com as well as looking on autotrader.com. Should give you a good idea if they are priced right.

The Hankook V12 EVO's are always a good choice equaling the PS2 in testing and a relative bargain to boot. The Continental Extreme Contact DW is also quite good(I have them on my car now). That...

I am guessing you called the wrong number as there are several folks on other boards who have called and had them come and help. Did you see the printed link I posted above? Pretty specific.

The bottom spoke can be modified to work with the M wheel. You have to use a dremel on the backside of the spoke to thin it a bit. There is a thread on here somewhere about how to do it. Looks...

Excellent explanation. I appreciate it. Now I don't have to take mine apart to look. That sucks about the carrier also being plastic. One day that part will go for sure.

I am interested as well. Does anyone know if the OEM handle is just a screw removed and then replace? I assumed the release wire was attached to the handle, but maybe not?

IMHO the E89 Z4 has nicer materials/build than the E85. Just so happens one was made here and the other in the motherland. Just an opinion, but I am sticking to it.

Yes- TRIMHORN you certainly don't want to have your car listed as a "2007 Z4-M Roadster" as it clearly is not. They did not offer an "M convenience package" in 2007. You have either a 3.0i or 3.0si...

Interesting - so it was factory. That has to be a very rare bird for sure. I was under the impression the sport/active material was only available on the regular seats.

The rear turn signal bulbs are called "chrome amber". You don't have to buy the OEM parts. Ebay has nice 7507 chrome amber bulbs for $8/pair shipped.... Another name brand version is "Solaris".

I would assume an 06 325 is similar to the E85 Z4. If so there is not a registration process so the dealer is pulling your leg. I could be wrong and the E46 forum should be able to confirm, but I...
