Time to say hello
Well I have never owned a beemer in my life before, now at 62 brought a Z4 2.5SE for a bit of top down fun.
Been a big user of landrover forums (Disco3, Disco4 and now Disco5 as my main car is the Discovery), having (as you can tell) Discoveries since 1991. Its a bit of a change from being one of the biggest things on the road to being one of the lowest, and being eye height to car door handles was a bit scary.
Still, here's hoping I enjoy it, and will no doubt be on here asking daft stuff as I get used to it.
Cheers
Al

Hi & welcome
Funnily enough it was lockdown & the use of my wife’s company Range Rover that made me appreciate a finer ride than my 57 plate no toys A3 was providing
I am also a newbie having purchased my Zed about a month ago

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.
