First time Z4 2.0i

Post by Alter » Wed Sep 01, 2021 11:59 am

Morning all,
Firstly thanks for allowing me to join the group I can sense that its going to become an obsession already!

I have just put a deposit down on a 2009 2.0 Edition sport with approx 37000 on the clock, 3 ownwrs, and all but most recent service carried out at BMW dealership.

I was just wondering if there is anything that I should be checking the paperwork for to ensure that its been done (common faults etc). Also what should I actually be looking for on the car? I am not a mechanic so it would have to be noticeable if told.

Many thanks

Hello matey, is that Liverpool?
Cracking looking E85, looks to be in great condition and super low mileage. Love the interior colour. Other's will give you pointers with the tech side of the E85.
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!

Hi all.

Thanks for the welcome.

It is indeed Birkenhead so if you are local you might see me driving about (probably in the rain) with the roof down and a big smile on my face :D . Hopefully there won't be anything to worry about with it but if there is I'm sure that there'll be plenty of sound advise on here 👍.

Some bast#rds nicked my push bike from inside that wee church pictured, when I was just a teenager. One of 6 that got nicked in total. But that's a whole other thread :wink:
