Congrats on the new purchase. The 3.0si is a great choice. Any pics of your new ride? Details on spec, where you got it from, where you’re based etc.

Hi and welcome to the forum Steve. :thumbsup:

The 3.0Si has a great engine so you should have some fun this summer. :driving:

If it's a manual you might want to think about putting fresh oil in the gearbox and removing the Clutch Delay Valve.

Did anyone mention photos yet? :lol:

    No problem, car looks good and you must’ve done something right because not only is the Mrs still speaking to you but you’ve got her beside the Zed so she can’t think it’s that bad an idea :wink:

      My OH had zero interest too when I said I was getting my first one. We pick up OUR 3rd one in 18 months on Saturday :thumbsup:

        Welcome, the 3.0 Ltr engine is a nice one and the car looks great, specially with these wheels. The Z4 is probably the first ‘toy’ that my OH actually enjoys going out in. It’s great fun with the hood down on a nice day and even on ‘not’ such a nice day. Enjoy.

        Looking good. Silver grey is a great colour for showing off the lines of the Z4. Enjoy.
