Brilliant great to see a Z4 back on the channel 👍🏼 how on earth did you manage to get that for just £900 😳 although the M badges de value it by 2 grand 😂
Sounds fan-tas-tic! Great idea for a project car to sell on and at £900 will appeal to many, will watch with interest. Always good to share the nitty gritty details like the costs & exactly what parts changed. All you need now is an Ed China 😉
From my research, the US cars had 2 pairs of cats. EU cars have just one. Both US&EU have a centre section silencer/resonator and a back box. So I believe you now have no CATS. It not impossible to pass an MOT without a cat (my old TVR Tuscan passed with no cats, but you have to rev the nuts off the engine/get it really hot, to pass the emissions.
This is the Z4 with a smaller engine you should have picked it one up with 3.0 SI or even the M version, those are the ones that are worth it anything under a 3.0si it's kind of lackluster.
Hello ben Did you feel a lag at low rpm with auto gearbox compared to the manual coupe ? My coupe z4 is auto and my roadster m54 3.0 is manual I feel always like roadster is more responsive about the throttle pedal than my coupe auto which has little lag when i foot on accelerator pedal I always think it is due to auto gearbox but it seems your cheap z4 even if it is an auto is responsive more than my auto coupe Please give me your feeling as you own the 2 gearboxs For example at 40mph when i foot on the accelerator i have a little lag 0.5s with my coupe when there is no lag at all with my manual Please do the test from'40mph with the manual'and the roadster and please let me know
Ben, if you can't turn a profit on a £900 Z4 it's time to pack it in. Sounds like a twin of my car which has 44,000 miles on it and is also that rare Sterling Grey!!

Nice to see you back in the e85, I think a much better looking car than the e89 👍👍
Those M badges 😅 this’ll be a fun series. Now you need to join me on my project car series ;)
I'd watch haha
Cars in the UK seems to be very cheap. Looking for an E85 3.0 in the Netherlands. Almost all cars are above 10.000 euros...
Sounds fan-tas-tic!

Would love ed to do all the work, then I just pop up at the end to drive the car and sell it 🤣
The auto is so underated....it's smooth and as a daily the auto is the option. But £900!!!!!!!
Yes couldnt agree more. I definitely overlooked the auto in the past, but I'm in love!

What an amazing deal. Good luck with the mods
Good video Ben. I just purchased a 2.5 manual which I thought was a bargain at £2,450. Blimey!
Welcome back to the club. If you wrap it don't go orange...I don't like the competition!😂
😅😅😅😅
remember and seal the membrane that sits behind the door card if its not sealed it will let water in just in case you never knew 👍
Looking forward to this series!! Great bargain 👍👌
Joel , you have some competition 😂
😂😂😂
Great video, making me pine for my old E85 haha
enjoy Ben :)
Buy this one 😜
@@be1441 I just bought an IS 250 yesterday :P

Wouldnt be able to get one for £900
It’s a straight six. No need for anymore power on local roads in the UK or USA. The 4 cylinder versions are a different story.
Hello ben
Did you feel a lag at low rpm with auto gearbox compared to the manual coupe ?
My coupe z4 is auto and my roadster m54 3.0 is manual
I feel always like roadster is more responsive about the throttle pedal than my coupe auto which has little lag when i foot on accelerator pedal
I always think it is due to auto gearbox but it seems your cheap z4 even if it is an auto is responsive more than my auto coupe
Please give me your feeling as you own the 2 gearboxs
For example at 40mph when i foot on the accelerator i have a little lag 0.5s with my coupe when there is no lag at all with my manual
Please do the test from'40mph with the manual'and the roadster and please let me know
Sorry mate, I no longer own the car so can be no help
Next video: "Sorry Constable, I had no idea this car had been stolen!"
😅😅😅

Great vid!!
You could probably sell the engine alone for 2k+

Yea if I cant make make more than £900 than I'm doing something seriously wrong 😅
Rubedo Alaberti haha
Does the fake “M” badges make it go faster?
The non M Sport - M Sport
This is going to be interesting
Subscribed based on the z4 theme.
🙌🙌
Any chance you can find out the exact exhaust mode done to it? Would be great to know 👌
Will make a future exhaust video when its finished and insured 👌 it does sound great
@@be1441 Nice one Ben, looking forward to it, loving the series thus far!!
@@joelsomerville6102 thank you 😁🙌
Cocaine in the gear stick
Lol 😂
🔥🔥🔥
Gotta remove those M badges right away. Ugh
How much?
I say in the video
Manual swap it 😁
The automatic works just as well and no clutch to ever change.
WRAP IT LIKE THE OLD ONE 🤣
Dont tempt me 😜
@@be1441 dual vlog wrapping with xiolage and ben. 🤣😂
It's a beautiful color. Why ruin it with a ghetto wrap?
@@bigmacdaddy1234 I quite liked the blue colour he had on his last one mate. Everyone can have an opinion 😊👍
Glad i didnt buy mine in auto, looks boring
