First Zed tomorrow!

Post by GrizzlyBear » Thu May 03, 2018 1:17 pm

Hi all,

I've been surfing the forum for the last month or so while looking for buying tips and general Z4 info so thought I'd better officially sign up as a member now that I've finally taken the plunge.

Picking up a grey 2.5si Sport tomorrow afternoon so will post a couple of pics after I enjoy the 3 hour drive home. I have a long weekend in the Cotswolds planned for next week so particularly looking forward to that now!

Tomorrow shall now be known as the Z-4th May in my house... :driving:

Judging by the weather forecast you will end up wondering what it's like to drive with the roof up.

Enjoy and welcome

Thanks for the kind welcome everyone and good to see some fellow bears on the forum!

Turns out i got too engrossed in the driving over the last couple of days to actually stop and post any pics so I've popped a couple below (if I've done it right on my mobile).

I'm absolutely in love with the Z4! I find it so easy and comfortable to drive around town and then so much fun to blast around in the sun and take advantage of that stunning straight 6. I've already had the tyre pressure light randomly come on but found this was because the previous owner had his tyres set to what was effectively liquid rubber. Thanks to older posts on here that was soon all sorted.

I absolutely cannot wait to get to the lovely cotswolds next week and enjoy it properly.
