3.0si Sport Coupe - Newbie

Post by jhpgram » Mon Sep 09, 2019 6:08 pm

Hi everyone, I have just joined the forum after having my E86 for five months now.
I have been to a couple of Z4 meets in the south so far and plan on attending many more!
It would be great to meet some more fellow Zed owners; so introduce yourselves!

Nice coupe OP! Liking the ride height - springs or coilovers?

There's more and more coupe owners on here these days. We should get a bunch of them together for a meet and photo shoot!

Looks like KW V2s from the sig. Great choice of dampers and tyres.

Welcome. :thumbsup:

Yeah KW V2s, handles incredibly well! A Coupe only gathering would be great as I tend to only see a couple of Coupes at Z4 meets if you're lucky!

Ahoy there! This car has previously been on the forum under the previous owner, EdinburghJon, who sadly passed away. But the car is now in my hands and I'm loving it!

Welcome along from a fellow Coupe owner. :thumbsup:

You missed a meet in Surrey yesterday morning:- viewtopic.php?f=14&t=117180

There were 2 of us with E86s there - in case it's of interest the next one will be on Sunday October 13th.

Otherwise there is the Ace Café meet on 21 September - link here:- viewtopic.php?f=14&t=111865

I know it's fully booked, but you could always get on the waiting list just in case. And as "1doohan" says there is free parking right outside the venue anyway!
Coupes because stunning!

- @MrTidy - Yeah I was aware of the Black Swan meet but I went to Caffeine and Machine instead. I'll let you know if I can attend the next Black Swan meet as I've been a few times but not in my Coupe!

- @Mani59 & @gerryp - Thanks a lot!

- @Chidda - Hi Richard, It's James. Funnily enough that's because we drove there together with Lucas! ahaha
