Hi All
Doing the done thing by posting up pics and intro'ing myself as new to the site.
Now, having read a few comments on the E89 side of this forum, my new baby will not be everyone's cup of tea and here's why:
It's the 3 litre NA engine (no turbos to be found here), no idrive, no sat nav, no heated seats (and seats not m-sport), its automatic, 18's not 19's and has the plastic aluminium dashboard... It is truly poverty spec! posting.php?mode=post&f=11#
BUT I love it!
And that love for my new car comes from the test drive and then picking up and driving home on a late Friday afternoon and I've not stopped grinning since I took ownership some 3 weeks ago. I love the colour (black sapphire metallic) and the way she looks.
I used to have an E85 Z4 but when my granddaughter arrived I had to get more seats so the wife and I decided to get practical and sell the Zed to get a 330CI M Sport Things have moved on and now I am back behind the wheel of another Zed.
Look forward to chatting with you all down the line and sharing the highs (and lows) of ownership.

Hello! Newbie Z4 3.0 SDrive
Thanks for the welcome guys!
My new pride and joy has come with a few problems but I guess my best bet is to post those under the appropriate section.
Cheers

Welcome to the forum Jamie.
There is nothing wrong with the 3 litre N52 engine in a Z4!
Yours looks good - I hope your problems are easily sorted.
