Im sure the mods can change forum names, its been done in the past
I just remember not long after I joined there was a thread saying changing names loses all links and refrences to the previous username, of course I could be talking p!sh and remembering something completely different :rofl:
Has this happened before?

Think it was something along the lines of they’d picked a username and didn’t like it and wanted to change it. When they joined with a username naecoupeyet (I’ve just completely made that up btw) and then when they got a car the username was irrelevant because they now had one and wanted to change to ivenoogotacoupe (again my made up pish) and it was pointed out that if they changed username everything under naecoupeyet or referenced/quoting would either not be there or not linked and the advice was rather than change just make a new one and don’t post anything else under the old username.

Of course you realise I’ll need to go and bloody look for this now :headbang: :headbang:

    Welcome along!

    I once sold a 335i to a guy from NZ. He had it shipped over as he was moving home and I still get updates from him from time to time. Incredible roads and am extremely jealous!

    Can’t be many Z4 coupes out that way.

        'Incredible' yes, but not always in a good way. :D I haven't seen many coupes, I had thought of looking in Aus. The production numbers all seem to be rather imprecise everywhere I've looked. My own finger in the air thinks there might of been 500 approx of this year/model combo worldwide. Anybody else got an equally dubious guess to make fun of mine?
