Morning all,

Picked my Z4 E89 last night from a dealer and already in love with it! A few things that I'll be looking at (new head unit for 1 and a cup holder!).

So my story... had a BMW 535D (very lovely car) which I sadly wrote off in October last year, OH convinced me to buy a Merc C Class - not the best advice! so looking around at Audi A6's (sorry to swear) and saw a Z4 on the forecourt... and well bought it! LOL!

Mine will be a daily fun driver, hence why the need for a cup holder!

Big difference that I've already noticed is going from a 65L diesel fuel tank to a 50L petrol tank I'm saving about £50/fill... obviously range is slightly different!

Looking forward to the jokes and banter too!
Dave

Why's that then, Ted?
Are you unusually thirsty? Or are you one of the reasons why there is a Starbucks (other overpriced coffee retailers are available) on every roundabout now? :D

Me and you are in an exclusive club, it would seem, Paul.

Hi and welcome to the forum Dave, but we really need to see a photo or two of your Z4!

Shame about your 535d (and the C Class snoozefest) but at least you have found a silver lining behind those clouds. :thumbsup:
