Hello, New to the Zed

Post by La Rochelle » Sun Oct 03, 2021 2:28 pm

Hi folks,

I’m an expat, living in Southern France, and have just bought a new toy. A 2007 E85 2.5l. Delivery in a few days.

Any advice from you would be welcome. I’m truly looking forward to enjoying this new pleasure drive.

Bonjour. Comment allez vous? That's it for my French, unless I need a ham sandwich or a cheese shop :D
Nice looking E85, love the interior colour. :D
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!

Bienvenue sur ce forum, ami fan de Z4. On dirait que tu en as acheté un beau. J'ai eu un 2.5 pour le Z4 actuel et ma réponse à votre demande de conseil est : faire livrer ce Z4 avec des fluides neufs et une confirmation du vendeur que le top 10 des points d'attention pour ce type de Z4 de cette année de construction ont tout a été résolu / pas présent. Pour ce top 10 : voir les points d'attention E85 dans la rubrique correspondante de ce forum. Amusez-vous à conduire !

And now I see you still prefer English, here it is:

Welcome to this forum, collegue Z4 fan . Looks like you bought a nice one. I had a 2.5 for the current Z4 and my response to your request for advice is: have this Z4 delivered with all new fluids and a confirmation from the seller that the top 10 points of attention for this type of Z4 this year construction, have all been solved / are not present. For this top 10: see the E85 points of attention in the corresponding section of this forum. Have fun driving!
