Hi, I am about to purchase a 2014 BMW Z4 but the plague has got in the way and it will be a week or so before I get it.

I used to have, in my youth, a whole series of sports cars including an Austin Healey frog eyed Sprite, several TRs and big Healeys culminating in an E Type Jaguar. When my wife, heavily pregnant with our first child, could no longer get in the E Type it was sold for a second hand Ford Cortina Estate!

Now, in my 76th year with 4 children and 5 grand-children, I am about to relive my youth. Until, that is, I can no longer get in the Z4.

Good luck with the new car, but if you're getting it in a week then you're doing something wrong

Welcome to the forum OP.

Some interesting cars in your history too - just a shame that collection of your Z4 couldn't have come at a worse time.

But then even if you had it you wouldn't be able to use it much!

Welcome to the forum. Hope you don't have to wait too long for your Zed.

Great news. 2nd childhood is better than the first

In my youth I had a spitfire - in my old age I've a 3 liter Z4 with 2 more gears

Got any pics of the new car to share?

That's true, my mega E-Type is on the road rather than being a project.

I'm quite happy with fewer toys of higher quality.

Probably.

The sad reality is I've only got space for one toy and a daily, so I thought I might as well make the toy a good one!

Got my Z4 just now. Insured it through Chris Knott. Now I'm off "shopping"!
