We took our old Z4 (2006) to Stratstones near Newcastle on Tyne as we were putting it in part exchange for a g29. I have had it since 2007. It has lived outside for all those years. The roof motor has not been moved and still works but the body has a bit of rust in it .I was going to change the panels until I spotted this little beauty on the web. It is a 2019 with a fairly high mileage for it age(45000) but the price was low. It has had all the services done. I don't think I will put that much extra mileage on as I only did about 79000 in my old car over 15 years.
I did have some problems to start with as I had never driven an automatic before. I had to scrape the Wife's face off the windscreen once or twice as I slammed the brake on trying to get into second gear.
Reading the forum is a great help. Has any one found the first aid kit yet. I did find the mystery pad on the door that does not open the boot.
I still have to master the Tec yet but it will come with time.

In the best colour too of course.
Many thanks fo sharing the tip, next time my fiancée is being annoying I will use the "second gear" excuse.

Looks great in red. Just the right time of year too for a new open top.

Welcome to the G29 fan club, the first aid kit was located behind the netting in the boot, it could also be under the boot floor and if it’s not there the first owners kept it.
Not the we’re biased at all
