Hi guys!

I just took delivery of my lovely 2006 Z4M today. Dark blue.

This is my first BMW and I look forward to learning a lot about them.

I am a DIY enthusiast mechanic and come from 1990's Japanese turbo cars.

Looking forward to tinkering with the S54.

I live near Ely, Cambs.

Thanks!

Jon

Welcome aboard, from just up the road in Norfolk.

Let me be the first to warn you that the photo police are out there.
We need pics of your new toy.

Hopefully you'll be able to head up this way for some of our pub meets when the weather improves.

I've taught myself basic DIY car mechanics over the years. Nothing special.
