Just saying hi

Post by Edd.Land » Fri Sep 03, 2021 11:13 am

Hi all

New to the forum and new to Zeds
Not long picked up my e85 2.5
Was looking for a 3.0is but they are going for silly money at the moment.

My BMW journey looks as follows

E92 M3
F Series 330D
F Series 340i
F87 M2

But always fancied a Zed e85! Love that iconic shape.

So bought myself a weekend fun car.
Done a few bits to it.
Coil overs and 19’s and relocated the roof motor to the boot. (That was a fun job)

Looking forward to spending more time in the Zed 😎

Edd

    Like the wheels, they seem to suit the E85 and 86 really well :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
    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!
