Hello from NE newbie

Post by mike n helen » Mon Jul 28, 2014 10:22 pm

After spending many months watching the classifieds on this forum, I have eventually gone out and bought myself a Z4MC. I've owned a Z3 and a Z4 E89 (I think it's called, the convertible hard top 23i) in the past as well as a 1M (which I regret selling) so decided it was time to combine the two and buy a Z4MC. Didn't want to spend a lot of money so opted for a slightly higher mileage one but with only two owners, first guy owned it from new for 6 years and has a full BMW service history and the second guy for two years and covered less than 3K miles. Overall it's seems to be a very clean car in good condition considering it has done 72K miles. A few jobs needed here are there which I'll get round to in the coming months but nothing serious and only to satisfy my desire to try and get it back to it's original show room condition.
Here's a picture with one of my other toys.
