Hi all, just thought I'd pop up and say I've just bought my first ever BMW and it's an older Z4 and so far I love it (even though I've only had it one day)! But rather typically we are forecast some bad weather starting tonight so the roof will have to be left up :(

Hello and welcome. Glad you are liking your new toy. Sod's law with the weather.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Cheers mate, I've managed to drive topless (oo-er missus!) once since I got it and that was on the way home from the dealer. A bit different from my last car, a Mercedes ML250 which was constantly causing me problems. I had to take it to We Buy Any Car in the end and take the hit, means i've still got 18months to pay the loan for that off and then I'm treating myself to an E89 model. Probably the 28i version. :thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum from Sunny Cornwall. :)

Best grab a few pictures of your new Zed quick, before the rain arrives. Oh and a top tip..... Keep her above 50mph and the rain goes straigt over and gets the Audi following 2ft behind you. :D :thumbsup:
