Hello Z fans

Post by TOMGREEN413 » Fri Oct 14, 2022 6:12 pm

Just a quick hello to everyone on the forum, I thought I'd join this great forum for lots of reasons. My wife currently runs a 2013 Z4M which she had for a few years ....Notice I say my Wife!!!! Yes it's her car, so I felt it's about time I got even or better with her so I've hatched a cunning plan.
So ever since I was 18 years of age I've been very lucky to own some amazing sports cars( I won't bore you with a list of them) but have been without anything special for a few years.....but now the time is right for another.
Way back in 2006 when I first clapped eyes on a Z4 Bread Van , it was my opinion that this was a classic BMW in the making, at the time I was running a Viper GTS on NOS and was quite happy with its performance, but life is a little slower for me now and so that 15 year itch has finally come back. The Z4M Coupe looks amazing but these days I'm not really looking for that kind of performance, so the 30si manual should be enough to get my pulse racing, but it's really the looks of the Coupe.....especially in that amazing BMW Blue....montego blue??? Anyways, the cunning plan is to rock up with my Coupe next to my wife's Z4 and even the score a little.
I hope to learn a lot more about running and enjoying Z,s on this great forum so thanks in advance. TOM

Hi and welcome to the forum Tom. :thumbsup:

A Viper with NOS must have been a real beast! Would definitely like to see some of your previous cars.

When I was looking for a Z4 it had to be a Coupe for that shape. And now I'm on my third. :lol:

The M is fantastic but my previous Montego Blue 3.0Si was brilliant too, and much cheaper to run!

When you start to post there is a button on the left below the box you type in with an "Attachments" tab, click on that then you'll see an "Add files" tab. Select that, browse files and chose the photo you want then just repeat to add each one.
