Hey guys,

New forum member here, I did post something prior to the purchase of the new E89 35i for some last minute buying advice and the replies / advice I received was great and I really appreciated that.

I'm two weeks into ownership of the new E89 35i, I've owned two previous E85s but seriously impressed so far. I do a mixture of short and longer journeys - the new car must make my shoes heavier cause I'm only averaging 22mpg!! :lol:

There's some work I want to do to it at some point both aesthetically and under the bonnet - this forum has some great advice / topics so I think I'll be on here quite often! :)

It's now at the end of tomorrow and the end of the week after next is not so far away and still no pics!!

I shall hold back on my "Hi and welcome" until we see pictorial evidence of this alleged Zed!

Enjoy :driving:

Hey guys - it's 9:45pm here, I still have time :thumbsup: I was hoping to take the Z out at lunch time at work to get some decent pics but wasn't able to... mondays are terrible! I have only the 1 image which was taken on my phone, not the best picture but hopefully it gives you guys an idea!

I'm hoping to put some time into it this weekend and get some decent snaps after a good clean. I'll put them on when I have them :thumbsup:
