Hello from Sweden

Post by fredej » Tue Jan 01, 2019 5:59 pm

Hello everyone!

I’m a new member from Gothenburg, Sweden.
I have visit this forum from time to time since I bought my Z4 back in July. There’s a lot of good information on here! I thought it was time to say hello!

My car is a Silver Grey 2006 3.0si Coupé with 76k km (47k miles).
It is completely original and spec’ed what in UK would be a “Sport” model. I don’t think there were “SE” or “Sport” trim levels for the Swedish market.
The option list includes m-sport chassis, black interior with m-sport seats and steering wheel, style 202 wheels, HiFi and xenon.
It's a fun car with a great engine!
The only complain I have with the car is the harsh ride on bumpy roads. Unfortunately there is plenty of bad roads in my area.
The car currently has Bridgestone run-flat tires. Hopefully changing those to regular tires will help for a less crashy ride. I plan to change to something like PS4 or Goodyear F1 A3 sometime next season.

The car is a summer/weekend toy and currently in the garage on a battery tender waiting for spring.

Here’s a sunset photo from this summer.

Welcome to the forum. Quite a few Z4 owning Swedes have joined the forum over the past few months. I love the 202 wheels which, like 107's, really suit the Coupe.
I used to have two boys and a girl. Now I have two Men and a Woman. :?

Lovely car. I have fond memories of Gothenburg. My daughter spent part of her degree studies there and eventually got married in the city. When you rid yourself of the dreaded RFTs you will find big improvements in the way the car rides. :thumbsup:
