Back in a Z!

Post by Chris1712 » Wed Apr 04, 2018 10:27 am

Hi All,

Long time member and lurker, previous owner of a beautiful E86 Coupe which I adored. Sold on this forum nearly 2 years ago.

viewtopic.php?f=41&t=87963

Went from a 0 mile commute to a 26 mile each way commute and then moved into a 330e Hybrid which is frankly a brilliant tool, but so lacking in soul.
Have just thrown my sensible hat in the bin and fisted the kumquat on a E89 35iS! I know the fuel and depreciation is going to be staggering on my mileage but I miss loving my car.

Rubbish dealer pics for now, weather has been terrible since I collected it!

I know it's a bif of a marmite spec (or Jaffa spec? :lol: ) but honestly since the day they launched the 'Pure Traction' spec with the facelift I have wanted one. This is the exact spec I would have gone for if I was lucky enough to buy new, so I had to have it. The only question is whether to get the roof wrapped black?

Anyway it's great to be back, fingers crossed to years more Zed ownership joy :thumbsup:

Lovely looking car. Valencia orange and black wheels is the ultimate look

They go very quickly when up for sale usually. I dont think you will have any issues :thumbsup:

Absolutely love it. They are super rare in that colour spec. Many have the black dash and think the orange looks great :thumbsup:

Welcome :thumbsup:
