Hello from Carlisle

Post by davidfairhurst » Tue Jul 31, 2018 7:37 pm

Hi all

Just acquired myself a 2006 Z4 2.0 SE last month.
My first ever BMW and am delighted with it.
To cut a long story short I had saved up to get my drive done, but decided to get a BMW Z4 instead!!!
It has done 49,500 miles and is in very good condition.
A few minor faults one being one of the rear parking sensors is faulty, but I can live with that at the moment.
A very minor oil leak from engine area, a couple of drops of oil on garage floor after a week parked up.
I hope to have a few good years out of it.
I am 61 and decided that we are only here once, so hey ho, it’s a bit more fun than my Hyundai i 20!!
Thanks for looking

Dave
