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 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 madhouse.
Nice looking motor there, even if it does have an excess of tin on the top.

Welcome to the forum from a Devon member, love the colour and the coupe shape but sorry I like my roofs convertible. Gorgeous looking car though
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.

Welcome to the forum and to Coupe ownership Dave.
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.
