Looked at a '06 Z4M Roadster, like it but.....

FOUR FLUSHER · 02-27-2011, 07:45 PM

I found a one owner 16K mile ZM, looks very sweet in bronze with off white interior, couldn't drive it since there's too much snow, my question is, on the door panels the leather was kinda puckered, that normal? could it be fixed? ideas?

ZStig · 02-27-2011, 07:54 PM

puckered? not normal

Ah, one of my favorite combos - you saw a Sepang Bronze car with light sepang interior! I'm guessing it had the Madeira wood trim as well?

As for the door - yet, the leather is supposed to look a bit loose. Either that or the factory messed up all of them.

Like this, right? Slightly wavy?

wrh3 · 02-27-2011, 07:59 PM

Yes, mine looks a bit loose too as do the others I have seen- it's normal

FOUR FLUSHER · 02-27-2011, 08:09 PM

thanks, yes just like the pic, I think it would bug me, it's on all ZM's??? just more notable on the light leather, could it be fixed to lay flat or forgetaboutit??

All Z4s are like that. Sure, you could fix it somehow, but I personally wouldn't bother.

ZStig · 02-27-2011, 08:43 PM

its part of the design, just accept it. I thought you were talking about something more serious

here's mine

FOUR FLUSHER · 02-27-2011, 08:56 PM

hey Roffle, what kinda wheels u sporting? got some more pics of your car? love the color

dazed^ · 02-28-2011, 02:27 PM

Maybe some padding underneath would straighten it out. Probably not worth the effort though.

It's funny because the loose look of the leather on the door panels was also one of the first things I noticed when examining the interior. Oh well, call it character.

Nikki · 02-28-2011, 02:34 PM

I've been eyeing that roadster as well. Good luck!

mhughett · 02-28-2011, 02:36 PM

I think it gives the trim on the door a softer, more luxurious look than if it were pulled tight.

Thanks! they're 19" Miro 111 from **********s, machined silver finish. I'll post some new pics when I get home, but if you search for threads by me, you'll find some "old" pics. I love this color too, it looks amazing when bouncing off sunlight

ZStig · 02-28-2011, 06:37 PM

I'm going to paint the "posts" between the splitter and the bumper black soon

FOUR FLUSHER · 02-28-2011, 07:02 PM

How's the ride on those 19"? checked your posts, I like your wheels and also the M6 wheels in one of your posts. How much did you get for your stock wheels? The car I'm looking at needs new rear tires asap, looking at options before I just replace with OEMs

esqu1re · 02-28-2011, 07:17 PM

Nice, Roffle!

wildag · 02-28-2011, 07:37 PM

That's my interior. Love it. The light colored seats mean far less heat in the summer, and the dark interior bits mean the inevitable dirt/dust is less obvious.

Bugs me.

DON"T replace with the stock tires. Conti ExtremeContact DW or Hankook V12 Evo are much better choices. There are other great tires out there as well. The stock tires are not worthy of a repurchase.

BTW- how much are they asking for the Z4M?(always curious to know where my cars value is)

fighting_fish · 03-01-2011, 08:35 PM

I'm also curious as to how much you offered. That car was listed at 30 originally, and has come down to about 27. For 30 you could've picked up Roffle's car, although now that the supercharged imola one isn't for sale anymore, maybe you're out of luck

I'm keeping tabs on all the bronze m roadsters
