Recent impulse purchase
Hi all
A recent impulse buy has seen me venture into z4 ownership. Having driven around in a transit van for the last 5 years a new job and change of lifestyle meant I could buy a 'fun' car for the weekend. Never really considered a z4 and actually went to look at something else, the z4 was sitting next to it and next thing I knew I owned it.
It needs a few thing fixing on it as excepted for a car this age but so far I've been pretty impressed with it. The previous owners have made a few interesting mods which will need to be rectified but noting too tricky.
I'm sure I'll be on here with loads of questions as and when they arise but for now that's all.

Spec would help, it's a 3.0i, 6 speed with a red leather interior.
It has m badges stuck all over it including on the key so a little bit of patience and time will help with that, not too keen on the black rims to be honest, whilst they are in mighty good nick I'm still not 100% convinced and think it would look better with bigger silver wheels.
The boot was a surprise to be honest, much bigger than expected.

Hi and welcome.
I’m sure those daisies will be replaced once you’ve seen a few 18” alternatives. Stubby would be a good mod also if not already fitted.

Thanks for the warm welcome, if I wasn't off to a classic show on Saturday in Northampton I'd take a drive down to the ace, this was actually purchased just around the corner from there. I'll join you on the next.
