Hello from Croatia!

Post by Marche » Wed May 12, 2021 1:23 pm

Hello Z fans!
Newbie here! :) I finally got my hands on the e86! :driving:
It was bought almost two months ago in Hamburg, Germany.
It's a 3.0si, black sapphire, black M seats, M steering wheel, no navigation, 57500km, full BMW service history, amazing condition!
Paint is ok considering the car's age, but it needs minor corrections, good polish and a ceramic coating.
It's just like I wanted it and I'm happy like a kid on Christmas morning! :lol:

It arrived with 19" Breyton race CS, but I switched to 18" M359 from CMWheels and they fit perfectly!

I still need to change front fork bushings and dampers. New bushings and Bilstein B12 should arrive any day now so I'm excited to feel the difference in handling.

Also, sound system is basic and it sucks, especially after owning a BMW f32 with H&K. :( Ordered the Focal speakers and an Alpine head unit wich should arrive and get installed in cca 2 weeks.

I'm looking forward to new experiences!

    I know you do! :lol: I'd rather be driving than cleaning. :roll:

    Anyway, welcome to the forum OP.

    Your car looks so much better on the new wheels - just be aware E86s can be addictive. :lol:

    Welcome. 57,000 Km is extremely low for a car of that age. From the pictures it looks like it's already been coated; looks fantastic. Another fan of the new wheels :thumbsup:
    All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
