Just saying hi.

I'm new to the forum, a prospective Z4 coupe owner.

Previously had a 996 C4S, M135i, 330i and various Golf GTIs, but here to scratch the Z4 3.0si itch. Z4M probably too much bork factor after my 911 experiences :-(

Yes, and I think I know which one. :wink:

I've seen Lucas' one a few times and it's a great example. Plus he's a really nice guy!

If it's the blue one, it looks absolutely stunning from the pictures, especially the interior. :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Assuming it is Lucas' one it may look stunning now, but not so much when he got it!

I am the new owner of Lucas's restored Montego Blue z4. What a fantastic car.. Took it on a long run up the Dales this morning, its the most engaging, possibly fastest, car I've driven over these type of roads, probably faster than my C4S due to the mods.

I'm sorry but I had to put the OEM airbox back as the noise from the AFE wasnt to my taste, I prefer the top end induction noise from these engines as stock, but I do like the exhaust mod.

I might have to raise the suspension as there are a few speedbumps in villages where you go aground unless you are travelling at about 2 mph :D
