Interesting move - Metal Lickers orange E89 looks great so you've made a lovely choice.

Good luck with the sale of your 3.0si (though you won't need it :thumbsup: ) - a great example :thumbsup:

Thanks Paul.:thumbsup: Would have loved a 35i or 35is in the same colour but budget wouldn't stretch that far plus this one has a dual function as Julie's daily driver plus my weekend play thing so it's a good compromise in terms of performance, running costs etc.

Nice one Gareth......look forward to seeing it at the meets :thumbsup:

I am currently looking at an X4 30dmsport and PORSCHE Macan s as a joint car with the wife,lol. (We have always had SEPERATE cars,so this will be interesting :D ).
The z4 will be staying though,and the 125coupe will be sold,so all good.

Good luck selling the z,tho as mentioned,u won't need it,that car is a cracker

Spent today bringing the new Zed's paintwork up to spec. Was surprised how rough it felt so after a full body clay, a coat each of Autoglym, Poorboys black hole glaze and Angel Wax it's come up a treat. Took the opportunity to snap alongside my E85.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the move - there will be a few 3.0si owners interested in your experiences I'm sure. . .

Particularly interested in your thoughts as you get used to the gearbox.

Agree with the comments above, seats look epic! In the sun I imagine that paintwork looks even better!
