Hi all

Post by Sgub » Sat Apr 28, 2018 6:05 pm

Just saying hi to you all,

I have been browsing the forum for a couple of weeks now, and after reading into some of the old posts, I have come to the conclusion that Z4 is the car for me. Thanks to all for sharing etc 😉

Just taken one for a spin, and if it comes out of the MOT without advisories I will be purchasing it on Wednesday!

Regards,
Tom

Edit/update: car had some advisories on the last mot with regards to front suspension, this has now been repaired by the dealer.
Which means, I am now also a proud z4 owner!

Hi Tom, what model did you try? It looks like a facelift but I’m surprised at the 55 reg, is it a 2litre? (The 2.5 & 3litre facelift cars were introduced from 06 onwards I think)

Hi,
Honestly I am not 100% sure, all points towards '06, as the v5+ dvla states date of manufacture is 2006, however it was previously registered in Northern Ireland. So (kind of imported)?, exact model number is 2.5 si with msport suspension seats and steering wheel
