Newbie from Manchester, Hi there folks !!!

Post by silverzed » Sun Jun 11, 2017 11:42 am

hi. I've bought my first Z4 in November last year after I owned a Toyota MR2 Roadster . The Z is 2006 reg 2.0l i sport with 120k on board and it came with all usual problems as a package : timing chain rattling , rocker gasket leaking , vacuum pump, roof motor failure after first month of ownership, rusted rear break pipes and so on . I did manage to sort out all of them and few more though.
All of these issues did not set me back of enjoying every drive ( it's my daily :D ) and having a smile every time I'm looking at it .
Thank you for accepting me on your forum as I do love the organized trips on twisty roads , info sharing and a good banter :rofl:
