South Coast Newbie!

Post by Peaches » Sun May 09, 2021 10:48 am

Hey all! I purchased a Z4 last week and thought it would be a good idea to join a forum full of helpful friendly people on my exciting journey into the Zed world! I’ve previously had a mk1 mx5, and a mk2.5.. so this one hell of an exciting upgrade!
I’ve gone for the 2.5i, and I’m entirely impressed with the power.. the guy who had it previously removed the back box so it sounds incredible!
Anyway, a big hello to you all! If there are any south coast folk who fancy a cruise at some point let me know 8)

Looks slick! I'm a new owner too, first BMW for me so going to be getting use to it. I see you've had MX5s......my in-laws have a Mk1 and I've just done cambelt, waterpump, rear shocks and repaired a wiring loom a mouse had chewed through :cry: Whereabouts on the south coast are you?

Hey both!

I’m in the Havant area, near Portsmouth!

Ahh I did love my mk1.. and it was one of the only ones I had witnessed not to be a rust bucket! They’re so easy to work on.. I think I might struggle with transferable knowledge to the Z4 aha.
