Don't listen to anything you hear, it's all a lie. Whippy's rule; it's official (official being the DZA.Gov.uk) :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

    Yes enjoy your car and hopefully pick it up when the sun is out and as others have said take the long road home! if you keep the whippy you will probably need some things to go with it... :thumbsup:

    Hi mate

    Welcome!

    Trust me when I say I felt the same: I’m literally just coming up to my first year or Z4 ownership…

    These cars, especially the older ones are very rewarding, to work on, to own and of course to drive- so always have that concern but go and enjoy one!

    This forum is excellent for getting balanced no - judgemental help and advice, plus people who will help out if needed.
