Back Again!
Hi All,
Originally from the UK where i had my first E85 (and was previous member of the forum), now living in Ontario Canada and after scratching a muscle car itch for the last 11 years I have traded in my 2014 Camaro Z/28 for a G29 M40i.
Was reluctant to let go of the Camaro, but the trade values were just going crazy and it was forever a challenge to get the SO out in it due to it being so stiff and not very comfortable.
Really enjoying the G29, it ticks alot of boxes the Z/28 didnt for a weekend/summer car, much more comfortable, great for longer road trips and of course always good to have the roof down. Despite the 123bhp power difference iv been hugely impressed that the G29 moves every bit as quick and whilst its not a thundering V8, I love the soundtrack this little animal churns out.

Welcome back.
Your Z4 looks great, but do you have to fit a front plate - that plate carrier isn't pretty!

Thanks, the pictures were taken before the dealership put my plates on, (plates move with the owners rather than stay with the cars over here). Now they re on the plates completely cover both mounts so it’s pretty discrete.
