Hi all,

I have had my Zed for 5 months now, I have had several BMW’s over the years but had always wanted a E86 from when then first came out but couldn’t afford when when they were new.
I am so glad I took the plunge though, that acceleration :D and the lines of the car particularly as the back end falls away.

I’ve had 4 new tyres but will need new rear discs before the next mot, but i’ve got 6 months to enjoy it before then

Thanks for having me,
Dave

Welcome to the forum and to Coupe ownership Dave. :thumbsup:

I really wanted an E86 in 2007 but ended up with a diesel 1 Series for business use reasons. But that stopped so in 2014 I bought my first Coupe. Just be careful as they can be addictive. :lol:
