New Z4 Owner/New Member

Post by Shipkiller » Sun Oct 28, 2007 3:42 am

Just bought a 2003 Z4, with 44K miles on it, and picked it up for really less than bluebook.
I was not ready to get an third car but my wife fell in love with it... :titshake:

It is a joy to drive, and drive hard...... :driving:


After spending the last 12 years modding my F150, now I can start in a whole new area...

No questions yet, but I will have some. I have already found lots of info on this site.

AND I am ready for lots of comments on what I should do.

Thanks.

OK,OK,OK

Pictures tomorrow of my Z4 and F150.

Yes, I am a retired Submariner (Chief Fire Control Technician). I did 24 years. I have been retired about four years and work for FTSCLANT (Fleet Technical Support Atlantic) as a Submarine Combat Systems Electrical/Computer Engineer. I AM A GEEK.

But being a geek makes me lots of money.

Had to work today (Sunday). But after I got off, I went driving.... This was the first day since I bought the Z4 that I have had a chance to drive it.

:sos: Help, I am becoming addicted. :sos:

This car is F*cking GREAT.

Sorry, got carried away.

I am used to driving a 97' F150 that has been modified so that I have 325HP at the rear wheel, but it IS, still, a 4X4.

This Z4 rocks..... ok, I've only had it three days......

...and that smile will never cease :D The excitement in the hours when you are not in the car will subside a tiny bit after about 2 months of initial enjoyment, but I've had mine since Febuary (also own an F150) and I feel that same excitement still EVERY time I get behind the wheel of the Zed. I can't control myself. I keep telling myself that "I'm going to drive sensibly today", but it never happens :evil:

Welcome to the club, Shipkiller, glad to have you aboard, mate! :thumbsup:

Bubble head to bubble head welcome to the forum.

I spent 4 years 76-80 on SSBN 623B.

I'm sure he will get some pics up soon. At least he knows that there are only one kind of Naval vessel. Boats all the rest are targets. :lol:

Ok, here is a not so good pic of the Z and my Truck parked in front of the neighbors house. The sun was going down today....

2003 Z4 and a 1997 F-150 XLT

If you look in the grill of the F150, you can see the HHO generator that produces Hydrogen and Oxygen for ingestion to the engine.
