Car Forum / BMW Cars / August 2006Z4 question for novel I'm writing
Hey -- I'm writing a piece of fiction, and in it, an '06 Z4 is involved in an accident. I was about to have a piece of evidence left behind at the scene -- a piece of the turn-signal lens -- but it occurred to me that I'd better make sure that's practical. Could it happen? What I mean is, I know some lower-end cars have an amber plastic turnsignal lens that could easily shatter in an accident. What about the 06 Z4? Is there ANYTHING on the front end of the car that might get left behind at an accident scene (hit-and-run) that could be traced back to the make and model? Many thanks! >Hey -- I'm writing a piece of fiction, and in it, an '06 Z4 is involved >in an accident.

If the car is a US model, those have a small circular reflector on either side of the front bumper, added in 2005 when the headlights went clear. epbrown -- "Everybody wants a normal life and a cool car; most people will settle for the car."

Or on each side there is also the roundel light. The foglight lens is pretty unique to the Z4 also, I think. I just got my Z4 and accidents aren't really what I'm thinking about.

About how big is it? And, uh, what's the knockout plug covering up? Many thanks! Ken > There's a knockout plug on the front end that would provide a paint match.

Same thing it does on all cars - the towing eye. --- Sam >> Thanks for the suggestions.. The knockout plug should do it.

More specifically, it covers a threaded hole into which the towing eye (from the toolkit) can be turned. |
