Z4 road trip to Somerset

Post by Debell192 » Sun Jun 20, 2021 12:57 am

I managed to get away with the Z4 for a few days on a road trip to Somerset. Had some great weather and the roads are perfect for some top down cruising!

Here’s a video of my travels!

Watched just after it went live.

The video quality has improved since then and is now in HD.

What I watched looked like it had been filmed with a potato!

Good video and everyone should subscribe to the channel.

Looks incredible out there, shame the weather has took a turn for the worst now though.

    Watched this last night and loved it. You've put real effort into it, and it's noticeable. Nice work. Where are the credits to your co-pilot, though :o ?

    YouTube passed me onto another chap who also had some great tips (I suspect he's on here, too).

    As a new arrival on here, I just wanted to congratulate you :thumbsup:

    Being local it's one of my favourite runs on a sunny day and you really showed the area and Z4 at their best, good effort :thumbsup:

    Thanks for all the comments everyone, I’ll be sure to do another one when I next get the chance for another road trip. Also I need to convince my wife to film me driving past again, forgot to put her in the credits as co pilot!

    Skelters - it takes a while to go HD but glad to hear you’re subscribed!

    Tug - I do need a new wind deflector, this one came with the car and you can hear it rattling around in the background!

    Smartbear - that’s a lovely vehicle for the journey if I lived closer to the Exmoor I would take my SV650 but I couldn’t have had my co pilot with me!
