After four years of Z4 ownership, my time driving an 09 sapphire black E86 has finally come to an end.
During my time on the forum, I benefited greatly from all the posters here. The site really is a wealth of information about these amazing cars, which I think are hugely underrated, as an affordable sports car. The straight six is just so smooth and pleasing.
Though I'm not mechanically minded myself, reading about others peoples projects was fascinating, and proved helpful, as I then had a better idea of what would be involved when my own car needed work. Should anyone on here ultimately end up with her, she should make a good project car, as everything was still entirely stock.
On the first day out in my new car, I happened to pass an 09 coupé on the bypass, which was a bittersweet moment for sure. During the time I've owned the Z4, I have only seen around 5 coupés, and never another 09 plate before.
The only thing I could do to console myself was to mash the throttle, and listen to the V8 growl.
I will still drop by the forum from time to time, it's become a habit reading it every week for years.
