Bucks Newbie - Hi
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 I am forty something so enjoying a mid life crisis
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

Your Z4 looks really smart, and those wheels are great.

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!
