Hi All,

A few weeks ago I posted in the newbies form that I was looking for a 35i / 35is with an upto £13k budget, I have now purchased a Z4 35iS for erm a bit more than my budget. :driving:

My previous post:

viewtopic.php?f=11&t=124831

The car I have bought is a 2010 model with 50k miles on the clock in silver with black leather, a couple of pictures with the car at home.

After a warm welcome to the forum and some good advice in model specifics extras etc I think i've got the right car for what I ended up spending.

Thanks all, I'll be spending the coming weeks learning to the the best out of it, from a Quattro back to a RWD car for the first time in 4 years I need to adapt my driving style before I find a ditch :evil:

    A good choice :thumbsup: Enjoy it!
    As warned earlier don't be tempted to turn off the traction control - especially coming from the 3.0 Quattro. Even with it in "sport " it will shock!

    I'm used to planting the Quattro mid corner and all 4 go in a nicely controlled way, I have a long list of pre-owned RWD's so as long as I dont forget what i'm driving I should be fine :lol:

    I suppose when you have similar taste today you're likely to have a similar history :thumbsup:
