It sounds like you had a great trip - you should be used to the car by now! :)

Shame about the owners handbook, but you should be able to find a site where you can download an electronic copy. I ended up buying a paper one on ebay as well!

Hi and welcome! Lovely looking Zed and interesting decal on the side, not seen it done like that before!
In answer no! I've seen a few people go from a 2 or 2.5 to 3 for that very reason. If you like the Zed great, if you want more power then cheapest and easiest way is to just upgrade. Otherwise it's a slippery slope to go down with relatively minor performance for the amount you have to mod/upgrade.

Hi and welcome - roadster always a good choice in my book :thumbsup:

Google the handbook and you can download it as a PDF - either for your phone or print the critical pages about warning lights and resetting the tyre pressure warning (ask me how I know) for the glove box.

I have now found that to be very true.
It will liven up when it's good and ready. :D

I will be going to pick up my first z4 on Saturday, in fact my first bmw. Its a 2007 2.0 sport with a fairly hefty 105k on the clock. It has a full mainly bmw service history. I was a little surprised to notice it doesn't have steering wheel audio controls? suppose I can live with that. Its based in Bournemouth, so it will be a long test drive back to Liverpool. I must say I haven't seen many favourable reports on the 2.0l version, but I'm a bit long in the tooth for high performance cars now anyway :) Regards, Tom.

I'm not sure, but if you stick the last 7 characters of your VIN in on this site it'll tell you all of the original spec for your car! https://www.bmwvin.com/
