What are you using this winter?

Post by AuchinclossZ4 » Fri Nov 23, 2018 11:27 pm

I was not keen to use the 35i when the weather is really nasty and the M140i is not ideal in some conditions. So I looked around for a cheap “bomb” to run around in. And so here it is! A 16 year old X5 3.0 petrol. 122 miles with a full history. For only £2k!!! And guess what? I love it!

So what are you running instead of your Z or are you doing snow Z?

she's quite petite.
'compact and bijou' i think they say in property / real estate circles. :lol:
what she lacks in size she more than makes up for in intelligence, attitude and presence! :rofl:

Just dumped an A200 and added an X3 to the fleet, using the Z4 most days but when the going gets tough i can be found in the X3 :P

There was no way the Z was going when pitted against the A200 during the Wifey negotiations :poke:

Cant beat an X... don't know why ive taken so long to warm to them :rofl:
E89/28i Msport gone :( .. Zx10r track bike gone… time for a KTM 350 exc-f and some green laning and dirt bike excursions…. Let’s see how this goes… : :evil:

Bought this for running around in the winter.... brilliant in the snow! Keyless entry, push button start, climate control, heated mirrors and 0 RFL! Oh and totally impracticable like the Z :D
