Hello from the South coast

Post by Chris-E85 » Sun Dec 29, 2019 11:08 am

Hi All,
Seasons Greetings :)

I'm Chris and will mostly be seen driving my 3.0 E85 Z4 around the south of Hampshire.
Had the car since Sept and loving it.

Not done anything to the car really since owned as she already has the Aero trim, and had M-sport matts and logos inside (though not the M-sport car).
Added bluetooth for audio, serviced it and started adding on the miles.

I joined the forum because every little query and question I googled about the ended up being answered here. So it kinda made sense.

Chris

She's silver.
When i was looking for one it was this or one in the blue but it was auto and I knew I wanted a manual.
So the manual box and the aero kit won over :)
The only think missing is cruise control.

Looking good. :thumbsup:

Cruise is apparently a fairly straightforward retro-fit. You only need the control stalk (just over £100 from BMW) and possibly a bit of wiring that forum member "srhutch", although early E85s were pre-wired.

Nice looking car and photo. As you say most of the Z4 answers are on this forum.
