Thanks Alan, I'm hoping it will make a good daily driver and a fun weekender

I still miss the zed in so many ways, as it's a hard act to follow.

Excellent choice!Swiftly wrote: ↑Wed Jun 07, 2017 6:47 pm Finally found a replacement for my zed which I sold a couple of weeks ago. I finally picked up from Dick Lovett in Bristol, a M240i automatic coupe which is loaded with loads of extras, so am very happy![]()
I also had an enjoyable long drive back to Edinburgh, which gave me the opportunity to start to get to know the car. First mod once I have saved up some more pennies will be an M Performance silencer with carbon tips and a rear diffuser.

Looking to get an M Performance Sports Exhaust with carbon tips fitted, there are currently some good deals for supply and fitting by dealers to are to be had.pvr wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 9:40 am They are nice cars indeed.
My son had a custom exhaust (still including the valve) fitted near Liverpool for his 140, does sound rather a lot better though than standard.
With the Carly app, there is a lot of coding you can do (folding mirrors on lock, time that the reverse camera works and a whole load of other stuff). Worth having a play with that.
Been keeping an eye out for quite a while now for a good 2 year old low mileage 35is in the right colour and with the right spec. They are as rare as hens teeth Craig. One I did see was 2 years old, 8K miles with red leather and fully loaded. Only bad point was that it was in black which is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.craig3.2 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 12:07 am Very nice choice Nick.
Hopefully get to see it sometime fairly soon.![]()
I take it the 35is z4 was harder to find,or did you just prefer the m240i?
Cracking cars,my wife had a 1series coupe,and think it's a great looking car still,as is this![]()
Yeah,the zeds are a hard car to replace,indeed![]()

I am going to have a play about with the Carly App, I would love to be able to deactivate the auto start/stop function, it just doesnt seem right to have one on a performance car somehow
