I used to own that car when I lived in Coventry. I sold it to someone that worked in Buckinghamshire and I think lived in the area. He put it on a private plate, but that's the plate that was on it when I owned it. I'm surprised it's not already remapped because he planned to do that.

Hah, small world indeed! I did notice in one of the photos I saw before buying it, there was a Z4 tucked away in the garage behind, I guess that was yours!

Bought it from a guy in Slough, then drove it to Edinburgh.

It's past 95k miles now and still going strong 💪

Yeah, sounds like he may have forwarded one of my photos to you. You can just see my Z4 in one of the photos I posted. Out of interest, when did you buy it? I sold it in May 2016 I think. I just found an email I sent to the buyer at the end of April 2016. He said he was buying it for his wife, who also came with him to see the car.

The Zed is the second car. Instead of having a company car this time, we took the allowance.
My daily is a C300 AMG Line, Premium Plus.
New in March of this year. We used Car Wow and got just under 25% off the list price.
Yes it’s a 2.0, 4 cylinder but there were no such discounts on a C43.
It has a very good spec and is surprisingly fast and very comfortable. Great for two spaniels as well. I really like it.
It’s selenite grey with cranberry leather and black open pore wood trim. Finished with black and silver 19” AMG wheels.

The Polo looks enormous when compared with the Zed!
It does in this picture, it's just how the phone camera takes the picture, it's not actually that much bigger :rofl:

Have 3 cars including the E89 - missed having a car to tinker with after selling the E85 so bought a cheap TT roadster to upgrade and potter with. Wife always wanted an Evoque so got one for her 50th. The Evoque gets run daily and the E89 and TT get run for a week alternately .

I don’t use the MC that often as I have an X3 as a company car but my favourite is my ‘71 Datsun 240Z that I imported from West Coast USA a few years ago, I had one when I was 18 until 30, coincidentally sold for £40K a couple of years ago after I sold it for £6750 for my 911 :o , so always anchored after another, it’s the only car I’ve ever had that my son, now 21, takes pics of :driving: to me it’s a piece of art 8)

The Zed is a weekend car and I run a 1er 120d during the week. Still looks the business, great on fuel and tax and nippy enough to outrun most things on the road. Mrs has a Focus Titanium X. Proper eco car with all the toys which is the go to car for both of us for general getting about. I actually gave it a 20 hour detail last week so have a pic of that. The 1er go the treatment this weekend but forgot to take a pic!

I have a mk6 Golf sh!tbox that I recently bought back as scrap. Really well made and does 500 miles on a tank. Love it.

Hoping to keep the M for a few more years and get an EV daily as soon as practically/affordably possible.

Love the Beta Coupe! My dad had one back in the late 70's. Powder Blue with orange velour seats and went like stink. Unfortunately when it was parked up, if you listened carefully you could hear it rusting away. I believe it went back to Lancia (it was a company car) and he ended up with a 2.0S Capri in JPS black and gold 8)
