Maldives Blue Z4 E85 from the Netherlands

Post by MaldivesMax » Tue Aug 08, 2023 9:55 pm

Hi all!

New member on the forum, so just a quick introduction from my side!

At the moment, I’m on a roadtrip to Scotland with my mates barty en joelvdrz4c. They’re the ones who pointed me to this forum.

Have been the owner of this Maldives Blue Z4 E85 3.0i S for about 1,5 years now. With 322.000 km’s (more than 200.000 miles) on the clock, the car has seen some roads in its life. Bought it with around 297k km’s and have invested quite a lot of money in this car since I’ve got it. Some expected things, some unexpected. What matters though is the end result and that’s a car that doesn’t really show it’s age, nor it’s mileage.

I will be making a separate topic later with all the things I’ve done with it and the things I still plan on doing. For now I will enjoy an epic roadtrip that ends at the Zedfest! Hope to meet some of you there and have a chat, would be great.

Welcome aboard Max! Your “Wanted” thread for a hardtop and beige M-sport seats is very much alive and kicking in the “sale”-section of the forum :thumbsup:

Here’s to many more miles in the Zed!
