We went with the black SensaTec seats/interior. We sat in both these seats and the upgraded seats and liked these better. Also heard they last longer and hold up better after years of use.

New M mirrors

The double slat gloss black kidney grills are on the way.

Also some yellow rim blades to go with my black wheels

AND the 50th anniversary Badges also on the way 😍

The M mirrors look good.

I bought a stove for myself and I gave Z4 power.

Notice the dirty z4 covered in mud, the gloss black wheels looking grey from the mud, and my shadow in the photo.

Definitely not professional lol

I feel like the z4 deserves m mirrors whereas the new m240i coming with m mirrors makes no sense

The M mirrors look nice! I have been debating them myself, where did you order them from and did you install them yourself?

Found a perfect parking spot lol!

Also…. Today I found out how bad 4 day old chicken wings left in my trunk smells like. Left a grocery bag in there. Ooooops!! Even after an hour ride with top down it was still smelly. Had to take air fresheners and Febreeze to a whole new level lol.

I saw your post on FB, Gene. Hope it works its way out.

Aliexpress for $22. They look real nice and are good quality too. Installed myself but the z4 mirrors are a massive pain compared to the f22 m235 I had.

You basically need to pop out the axtually glass mirror where you view behind you first. It's attached magnetically. Then, you have to squeeze the clamps of the mirror cap and push them out. It's very difficult and you need to both squeeze the clamps and use a trim remover or knife or something and push in between the seems of the mirror cap and mirror assembly.. But once you do it the m mirror caps attach easily. If you are struggling go have someone else do it you might damage something

👿. I have pet chickens and many pet parrots. Birds are our friends not food 👿👿😭😭👿. My chickens all behave like humans and understand us better than any pet dog ive ever had. They also have a genuine sense of humor and are definitely more intelligent than even the husky I had. 👿😭😭

Everything is food to something. I've seen how chinese prepare cats and how koreans prepare dogs for meals. It is what it is. I eat chicken, I eat cows, I eat pigs.

HAH! you're there too? Nice. Yeah so far so good. Used febreeze to work its way out.

I did a little round to the highest mountain in Germany (half an hour up, 20 years down). It's a prison 😉
Happy New year to all members here.

Id disagree. To me, it seems like you are describing the chickens curiosity in its search for food as intelligence. They are some of the dumbest creatures I’ve experienced.

They are pretty fun to have, though. Particularly have them trundling and braaacking around you while cooking chicken on the grille!

Ugh. Not fun, I can imagine. I spilled a full flask of coffee in the trunk of my old car. Had to rip out all the panels and wash them down to get rid of the smell - of course, I think you have everyone beat on ‘bad smells’!

I must admit, I’m now a bit paranoid about putting any liquids in the trunk. If it spills, it’ll roll and drip into battery compartment.

I always wear gloves because I like it, thought it would protect against wear on the steering wheel leather (I prefer faux leather), but apparently it quickly eats the color away 😭

Anyway, the 50th anniversary badge looks awesome.

It's raining heavily here I'll post the badges on the exterior later. Already adds a much more premium touch than regular badge

That's actually not true. Research has shown that chickens have a great deal more intelligence than they're given credit for but, to get back on topic, I gave my Zed a good cleaning after feasting on some delicious fried chicken from a local restaurant (actually a fried wings and catfish basket). Happy New Year all!

Well, not in my current experience - maybe this intelligence kicks in after the first season?

I need to get mine cleaned - even though there’s only slight dampness on the roads the past couple of days, the back is absolutely filthy. It does look like the mud flaps have done a reasonable job of keeping dirt and wot-not from being thrown along the sides, though.

What about the door sills? Do the mud flaps help?

I would say yes, but I’ve not driven much prior to the flaps in any poor road conditions to say it’s better. I do see more spray/dirt above where the flaps are on the side of the car - looks like it comes through the side vents from the wheel well. The flaps don’t block the flow through them.

[gkgeiger]

Has anyone posted pictures of said mud flaps. I’ve only ever used them on a pickup truck.

‘Mud flaps’ may be a bit of an overkill description.

They are specifically designed for the Supra, but you can get them to fit:

https://zl1addons.com/products/supra...f0c09baf&_ss=r

Here they are fitted on someone’s Z4 (don’t have good pictures of mine):

https://g29.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...postcount=1138

I’m not 100% happy with them - they are not a direct fit and need a bit of minor work (drill a hole in the front, holes drilled in the flap itself, trimming of some supplied spacers) such that they don’t look as clean as they could, but you have to look close to see that.

Thanks for posting that. Since I don’t have my car yet, is this a problem?
