Z number 5

Post by Nick177 » Fri Jun 12, 2020 6:49 pm

I picked up my 5th Z today G29 30i sport. My history started with a 2.0i Z3, then moved on to E85 2.5, E89 23i, back to a E86 3.0si Coupe and now a G29 30i. Love it what great car with plenty of gadgets.

Congratulations, it looks lovely and you're certainly ticking all the boxes as you progress.
However, it looks as though you've missed the ///M experience on your way.
Likewise it's just the E86 tha'ts eluded me so far.

On the contrary. I found they come cheap and easy. It's the leaving that's expensive as hell. :rofl: :headbang: :poke:

Not so sure about the ‘easy’ bit. I suppose it’s down to interpretation. Mind you, I owe my life to the current Mrs D. But for her swift action a few years ago after a heart attack and subsequent cardiac arrest I wouldn’t be enjoying my Z now. So I suppose all things considered I would have to admit she’s a bit of a gem. Although I don’t say that too loudly. :wink:
