Hi I am Menno 55 years young and bought my BMW Z4 3.0i in alpine white in May of this year. So far I am very satisfied with it. Before this I had a Golf GTI 7.5 and a BMW e46 M3 convertible. Sold both of these and bought a Z4 back as a daily.

We love all things Netherlands in our house 🇳🇱 so it’s great to have Dutch company on here too. Love the new Z4. And your earlier E46 M3 takes me back… to a day when at least some of us still had hair!

Hi Menno and welcome.
The E46 M3 convertible is probably my favourite BMW ever made especially in that colour (estoril??).
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Thank you, and yes it is Estoril Blue, think that's the most beautiful color for every BMW. I had it for 7 years but i used it only in the summer months. In the 7 years i had it drove just 24.000km's. I have sold it for much more than i bought it for so it's for oké now.
The Z4 drives better than the 20year old M3, but still love the looks of it.

I live also at the west part of Holland, near Amsterdam. And yes most of the roads are pretty good. But i love the country roads in England and Scotland more than the roads here. And yes the prices of fuel are not normal over here. It's even much more than a year ago.
