Over a year and I still have it !!

Post by SO8 » Tue Oct 27, 2015 10:48 pm

Well, after a little wobble over a couple of faults and a dabble with the idea of an M135i I still have my second Z4 35iS after over a year !

Quite an achievement after my first 35iS spent 1 month of my 3 months ownership in the garage :(

I love it ... only up to 6300 miles though from 2450. Still not run in but looking stunning sitting in the drive in mineral white. I need to do some serious miles to get it loose but think it is more likely to be used conservatively once the weather gets worse - my little Smart diesel comes into it's own apart from on lovely crisp sunny days :D

I have the prospect of a change of work location on the cards if I pass an interview but think the Z4 can stay anyway - the Smart can get me to work !

An interesting 12 months where 'sport' mode is used at every opportunity if only to hear the burble on over run :evil:

Shame we have such low speed limits :x
Current : BMW M240i Convertible in black and a Smart Fortwo diesel in white :)
Previous : BMW 35iS in Mineral White and an Mercedes AMG A45 in black

Good to hear this one is behaving and you're enjoying it SO8, long may it continue. :thumbsup:

The sport button is rarely off on mine too, that crackle and pop is pretty addictive isn't it, the 'gunfire' bang at approx 4k from a downshift is hilariously theatrical. :D

Wow! Is that a year already? It only seems like 6 months max. Time has flown.

Glad your still loving it. Done more miles in a year than me, that's for sure but I agree in sport it's just sounds amazing.

Glad you're enjoying your Z4, we've had our 35i now for 1,250 days and it's been the most reliable car we've ever had, just fuel, liquids and tyres :thumbsup:
