Wanted to join the forum and say hello after getting myself a z4.
I am going to start with a confession...This wasn't meant to be the car that was meant to be sat on my driveway.
2 months ago I was in a position to buy myself another v8 and found a Silverstone II 2012 M6, long story short the car was rejected and is now sat on my driveway as a nice shiny paperweight while I go through solicitors. But...every cloud and all that... I still needed a car and after dabbling with the idea of getting a sub 1k shed for the short term, I gave my head a wobble and started looking for something that was relatively cheap but would be fun to drive.
Enter the z4... A car I have seen occasionally, always saying to myself they look like a bit of fun. I've always like the appeal of car that you don't often see on the road, having owned a Mk1 Focus RS & c5 RS6. So after a few weeks searching Autotrader, slowly increasing my budget and lurking this forum to read up about them I am now a proud owner of a Toldeo Blue 3.0 SE Auto Z4. Couple of shots below...

First port of call is to replace the bonnet badge which has seen better days, then give it a general tidy and clean inside and out. After that then probably look to see if I can find a new head-unit that has blue-tooth so I can play Spotify. After that see where it takes me.
Was part of RS246.com forum and did a few meets, so always up for a drive, car show or meet up to meet new people.
Anyway nice to meet you all!
Cheers
Duncan
