New Z4 owner down under

ragtopz4 · Post by **ragtopz4** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 10:07 am

Hi all,
Just this very day picked up a 2003 3.0l auto convertible. Silver over red/black. 2003 Sydney International Motor Show Car. Purchased from original family owner. (son of purchaser) Nice condition with 92,000kms and all books etc. Woodgrain to dash and console. Original 17” alloys with rubbish 225’s. Planning to fit 18” CSL’s when I find a set.

Cheers,
Pete from down-under

Hi Pete,

Welcome to the forum. Perfect timing as I guess you are just coming into, your summer

A heads up that photos are the expected thing for new members, so this is your chance to post some before the “official” photo police arrive

What part of Oz are you in?

Car looks great, red interior is always a good look on any Z4 (IMHO).

I’m impressed by the performance. I drive an XKR Jaguar - supercharged 4.0 V8 with 420hp. I bought the Z4 to keep my wife out of the Jag but it might end up the other way around!

Hi and welcome to the forum Pete.

Good to hear you have been enjoying the Z4 you bought for your wife.

Welcome to the forum. The Z4 does corners a little differently to the XKR.

His and Zeds would make a mighty fine pairing.

They corner amazingly. Haven’t had so much fun since my 64 Mini Cooper S. Just point and accelerate
