The 3.5i is dead, long live the 2.8i!

Lovely Zed. You do know your car is a 2.0L though, don't you?! Your signature is making me wonder.

[buzyg]

Very pretty. Enjoy your new Zed.

A small typo in the signature....

Great mpg the way of the current future

That looks great in Mineral Grey, really suits the car

Because that's what's left when you choose the model identification deletion option. I was fed up with the Z4 on the boot & sides snagging the micro clothes and then having to remove all the threads from behind the badges - that was the only reason.

I'd definitely lose the M badges, just look wrong an a non M car
It really wont take much to do. Just blow some mild warm air on them with a hair dryer or heatgun, then gently prise away at the badges with your fingers. Then run a finger over any glue residue left on, it should role off fairly easily. That's how I removed mine, and didn't cause any damage to the paintwork.

Isn't there a trick with loop of dental floss to slice under the decal after the warming?

You can do it that way, but I found it didn't take long for them to work loose after gentle prodding and pushing with my fingers.

Welcome to the 28i club, I dont think there are that many of us in fact I have never seen another 28 on the road (and I've looked !!)

I have had my 2.8i M Sport 3 weeks - I read that running in was only 300 Miles?

[Zee4]

The best colour combo IMHO, love it!

Guess you didn't read the manual then?!

[Filtermike]

Yes you are totally correct just re- read manual - tyres, brake system, clutch are 300 miles but engine and final drive are 1200 miles lucky I have only done 307 miles then!

More than us 35is folks. DVLA data shows 52 manual & 34 auto (one SORN) 28i's non M Sport and 230 manual & 234 (one SORN) Auto M Sport models. So 550 28i's vs 225 35is's of which only 1 is SORN.

That's only up to quarter 1 for 2014 so this will have changed somewhat especially since the offers in the last few months.

However there are less 18i's than 28i's but more than 35is's. The most popular model is the 23i!
