A few upgrades wanted & help needed (E85 2005) Hi everyone! Firstly a little “hello” as this is my second post (my first was about ten minutes ago!) on the forum! My name is Taz, I’m a Londoner living in Eindhoven and have recently bought myself a lovely E85 Z4 from 2005. I love the car - of course - but there are a few changes I’d like to make and am hoping you can assist! The audio is of course one of the changes but I’ve posted on that topic area already, so we ignore that for now. From a ‘styling’ point of view, I’d like to change the following: - current standard leather heated electric seats to more sporty M-Performance or other seats (do not want the 2005 Z4 sport seats). I’d love to retain the heat/elec functions but I don’t need leather (it’s also ok of course), I just want more support and a better look. I’m also completely useless when it comes to DIY so will need a supplier who can install for me. Appreciate any recommendations, thanks! - steering wheel - I have a standard leather wheel with volume/voice function buttons, would like something again more sporty, more ‘M’, perhaps with alcantara. Again can forego the function buttons if necessary. Again, any help with suppliers / installations, greatly appreciated, thanks! - my headlamp cluster is a little ‘foggy’ now, would consider upgrading to clear lenses (and better headlamps themselves if that upgrade is available?) - finally, I’d love any recommendations for a professional cleaner/detailer and even some protection for the paint. I’d prefer avoiding spending ‘000s of Euros on this (the first quote from my research was EUR4500, the car cost me just over EUR12k so that didn’t make sense :)) so again, any recommendations HIGHLY appreciated. Thanks in advance guys for all your help, look forward to the replies I’ll upload pics once they’re synced to this device. Cheers Taz

Complete audio overhaul (E85 2005) Hi everyone! Firstly a brief hello - my name is Taz, this is my first post as I’m new to the forum and to Z4 ownership. I’m also new to Dutch so please excuse the English. I just bought a lovely 2005 Z4 which I’m thoroughly enjoying, except for a few small things. One of the main ones is, of course, the audio system, which offers no Bluetooth connectivity and I’m thus restricted to the radio! I’’m looking for solutions which a) do not require me to DIY (believe me when I say I’m useless!), b) offer me Bluetooth connectivity (I don’t have a USB or aux input), and c) could potentially offer me more modern functionality, including (is this possible?) an upgraded screen with more up-to-date graphics, Apple Car Play (ok I’m getting carried away perhaps)!! I’m so curious to learn what’s possible and if anyone can recommend any highly-regarded suppliers, who can install as well, I’d LOVE to hear from you. Thanks in advance everyone and we’ll be in touch. Oh, I live in Eindhoven but traveling to get the upgrade / installation is no issue, especially now the sun looks like a permanent visitor! Cheers! (I’ll upload pictures of the car once they’re sync’d)
