Just saying hello

Post by Uniped » Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:51 am

Hello to everyone.
I've recently bought a nice, low mileage 3.0si sport coupe in Ruby Black. It's my first Z4 and everything works fine - hopefully it'll stay that way! I'm planning to do all my own servicing and repairs unless something too complicated/difficult for my vintage brain and body arises.
It won't be my daily driver and will live in the garage during the winter months when there's salt on the roads, but it will certainly get used when the sun makes an appearance. I'm hoping to do several road trips in the UK next year and possibly take the missus around the Alps or Pyrenees, so I'll be following the forum events to see what everyone else is doing. I'm down south in Kent.
Here's a pic... hope to meet some of you in 2023.

Thanks - it's my first BMW of any type.
Regarding my user name - well spotted! Yes, it's an auto out of necessity, I'm a left leg amputee. Lost the leg in a bike accident over 40 years ago.
