Hello everyone! Just bought my Z4!

Post by LegionAlmond » Sun Mar 12, 2023 2:36 pm

Hello fellow Z4 enthusiasts!

I've recently been very lucky to have my Ford Fiesta joined on the driveway with a gorgeous blue, BMW Z4 SDRIVE23i HIGHLINE EDITION!

Exceptionally pleased with it, even if the beige leather gives me conniptions.

I'm hoping to get some good advice on looking after the car and see what mods people reccomend, perhaps even go to a few meets!

Welcome to the forum, how about adding a photo of your Z4.

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Hahaha, pics will be posted tomorrow, depending upon the lighting when I'm back from work, I promise!

LegionAlmond is my old GamerTag from Xbox, I use it for my online presence! Real name is James, 26 year old structural engineer from Essex. Need to properly set up the profile and all.

My girlfriend isn't a massive fan of the car, she's a little short, all 4'9 of her, so she can't see well out of it. Hopefully with a padded seat cover, she will grow to love it. The hardcover conversion did impress her after all!

Nothing wrong with that colour combination in my opinion, :thumbsup:
You just need a stubby now to complete the look 😁

Hahaha what's a stubby?

I was hoping to snag one with the coral red leather like yours Chippie, but this one came along as was too good of a deal!
