Newbie & Newbie to Z4 based in Salford

Post by Bobskih » Mon May 10, 2021 9:16 am

Hi all

First impressions of owning my first Z4 are very positive and can see why they are such a popular choice.

I picked up this just over week ago with just over 50K on the clock and feel I've got a bargain.
It was hard to find a what I wanted with mileage & budget restraints, so I opted for this 2.2SE but not disappointed with the outcome.

I've had a quick look through the forum and very impressed with the content and active membership/repiles to posts.

Look forward to picking up tips and asking for advice.
