Hello from County Durham

Post by DurhamDan » Thu Dec 27, 2018 5:31 pm

Hi all,

Long time Z4 owner (8 years) living on the border of County Durham and Northumberland. She's now getting to the age where some TLC is needed and hoping there is some good stuff in the forum. I'm sure there will be having seen some hints and tips when i've lurked previously. Maybe in time i'll be upgrading and likely staying with BMW for the fun car, if only i can get to something M flavoured.

Just wanted to say hello, hope you all had a good Christmas and you're looking forward to the new year.

Some pics below that i took when it was a bit sunnier.......just realised i need to take more car photos....... :|

I'm hoping to bring the Z4C this time, depending on how it is doing with it's workshop addiction.

Diagnosis is hopefully complete. It is now waiting for an appointment to go in for more surgery. In the meantime it is on the road with an orange light and a slightly rough idle.
