Newbie saying hello!

Post by Mcarfan1 » Thu Jan 24, 2019 9:19 am

Good morning Z4 Forum!

Long-time Z4 fan and forum lurker. Currently car-less in London but decided it is time to change that and an e89 Z4 is the way forward!

Still figuring out which spec I am after, but needs to be a DCT/auto so the missus can drive it too! Thinking currently a model with less than 50 miles - either a circa 2010/2011 35i (DCT) or a more recent 20i or 28i (clearly, I have a long way to go!).

Also, a Pioneer 3400NEX is looking like a necessary upgrade. Took a ride the other day in a friend's 2018 Golf R and carplay is a complete game-changer!

Thanks for letting me join!

Hi and welcome - E85 owner myself so no help to you but ask questions and someone with an E89 will be along to help. Is that 50 miles or 50K miles by the way?

Hi & Welcome :thumbsup:

Perhaps an idea of your budget would help to narrow down what you can get for your money

Hi dude. Im also a newbie on here. Im in West London, and love my Z4 more than my partner. And she knows it. lol. Im having a few electrical problems at the moment ,and find the forum very helpful. My partner wants me to change my car for an automatic Z4, so she can drive it. Not sure its a good idea though. Anyway, hello and welcome. Kev.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Would pay up to £16k for the right model (and yes, up to 50K miles, not 50km!).

Managed to develop an obsession with the space grey/walnut kansas combination, so that would be my first preference, and then space gray/black kansas after that!

I'll drop a post on the sale forum.
