Good advise Mr Tidy. :thumbsup: Just need my other half to see the logic. I may need to switch up my sales pitch :rofl:

Well...yesterday was a whirl wind! I sold my car and bought a Z4 2.5 Sport on a 06 plate with 78000 miles. Over the more with it.

I decided to take some of the advise given and avoid the 2.0. I managed 44.1 average over my return 80 mile journey at 60 mph motorway and B roads.

I will post the full spec and pictures was I have given it a full detail today. :thumbsup:

Armscarf Thank you. Spent all day resorting the headlights. They have come up like new and now sealed against UV.

Tomorrow the detail continues and photos to follow.

Feels good to be old school again👍😉

Excellent news going for the six cylinder was the right move. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

So today I manage the first detail. I also touched base with Andy in Cheshire who kindly lent me his Carly adapter to code comfort settings on the roof. Thanks Andy. :thumbsup:
