1st (& 2nd) BMW(s)

Post by Grunter » Fri Apr 05, 2019 7:58 am

Good morning,

We have owned many nice cars over the years but for some reason have never had a BMW. That changed last week when my wife decided she really preferred the X3 over other makes and we found her a superb 1-owner 17 plate 2.0 M Sport with every extra and only 10k miles, which is now our main dog/child/shopping transport; green light for me to get a weekend toy.

I have always loved the shape of the Z4 Coupe from afar and after a good 2 hours looking found this one 40 miles away, went to have a look, had a short test drive, bought it. The fact that it has been covered by BMW's Insured Warranty throughout its life (something I will continue with) gave me some peace of mind, combined with it being in great condition with auto and a good spec and 58k miles, meant it was an easy decision.

I haven't managed to get out and drive much this week as we are completely renovating the old house we recently moved in to, which means I have been covered in rubble/plaster/paint all week. However, the tools are being downed tomorrow and I am definitely going to get her out in the morning to give her legs a stretch!

Looks well and sounds like a great low mileage example - lovely aerial and hopefully this is your first step towards a Z4MC :thumbsup:
