Bucks Newbie - Hi

Post by Afhussain » Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:06 pm

Just wanted to say hi. I have recently acquired an early 3.0i SE E85 roadster which has been owned my my sister for the last 10 years. She has upgraded to a 35i E89 and gave me her old car for a steal.

We already have two daily drivers between me and the wife so this is going to be my weekend :D I am forty something so enjoying a mid life crisis :oops:

This forum has been a wealth of information over the last couple of weeks.

I have been a BMW fanboy for the last 20 or so years when I bought my first E36. I have had an E46 330i m sport, an E90 325i, an X5 4.6is, an E70 X5 35sd, and I currently have an F01 730d M Sport as my daily driver.

I always loved the super smooth, great sound engine in my 330i and is great to have the same engine again.

I am finding I am taking the long way home along country roads rather than driving through town when I am in the Z4.

Lol, so am I. I live in Sands. Recently bought the wife a new car to replace her X5 which had done 160k, so she has not complained about me adding this second car for the weekend.

I almost didn’t get it when Directline quoted me £900 for insurance, managed to get a deal on a classic car policy for £270

Hello and welcome. I’m near Thame so not too far away either. :)

Lovely car - I’m babysitting a 3.0 roadster at the moment and it’s an amazing amount of car for the money. The only thing that really grates is the incredibly clangy doors!
