The newest newbie owner!!

Postby mikee_j - Thu Jul 29, 2010 8:55 pm

hi all,

posted a few times already and finally put a deposit down last weekend for a zed. Therefore, its time to introduce myself. Picking up the zed tomorrow and can't tell you how excited i am. iPhone pictures below, but will get some better pictures once i have the keys.

In terms of spec. its 2.0i sport, montego blue, 57 plate, only 4,000 miles on the clock. Extras it has wind deflector, bluetooth, comfort pack, heated seats and few others i can't quite remember at the moment. I've been driving round in a 1.7cdi astra for the last 4 years and this is a present to myself for my promotion at work!! Work company car policy and stupidly high insurance (london postcode and 27 years old) restricted me to the 2.0i, but coming from the astra is going to be sooo noticable in terms of performance.

Bought at a main dealer, so probably paid a little too much for it, but got a great price for the astra and knowing very little about cars, i don't have the nerve to buy privately. BMW warranty helps for the peace of mind. I'll be using as a daily commuter around suburbs of london and countryside driving at weekends and did i say... can't wait to get my hands on it!!

anyways... hello to you all and see you out on the roads :thumbsup:

I just ordered a new 2011 Z4 sDrive35i with manual transmission two weeks ago and am new to the forum. I was curious if any of the forum members had any ideas on how long it actually takes for delivery. The local dealer etimated 4 to 6 weeks.

Thank you all for the very warm welcome...

...wow... i love this car!!! picked it up today at lunch and unfortunately had to get straight back to work, but went for a drive after work and i love it!! I can only imagine what the 3.0 is like!

Surprisingly only one negative/jealous comment from everyone at work. So many of them were very impressed... the montego blue colour and the pearl grey oregon leather is just amazing.

A very happy man
