Returning to a zed

Post by Swiftly » Sat Sep 28, 2019 10:16 pm

So I’ve traded in my M240i and come back in the fold as they say, and have gone and bought myself a Z4 M40i in San Francisco Red with comfort, technology and visibility packages, so plenty of toys to keep me entertained. The car was registered at the end of March and had only 18 miles on the clock, so like new plus about 14K off original price due to initial depreciation. With the September dealer offers that are currently available, and the dealers asking price for the car, I was able to negotiate myself a really good deal which was really just too good to ignore. So with deal done I drove 225 miles this morning to pick it up from the dealers, and I have to say it ticks all my boxes and will do nicely as my daily driver. I only managed to grab a few photos due to the excitement, but promise more will follow in due course after the its had a good wash.

I remember the launch advert with a red G29 negotiating that maze, thought it looked the business in red :thumbsup:

Thanks Marlon, I would have loved a black one but even with my level of OCD, I would have struggled with it as a daily driver to keep it looking clean :roll: , so red was the only other colour that I really liked out of the limited colour pallet BMW currently offer for the Z4.

Nice to see you back, I'm a recent returner to the zed world after brief forays into BMW 4 series and Porsche, I'm so glad to be back.

Enjoy the new car, sounds like a cracking good deal! :thumbsup:

Very nice.

Must admit I’m getting very tempted in one of these.

My local dealer has a couple in (delivery miles) for around £38k.
