Evening all.
I've spent the last two months looking for a Z for my wife who fell in love with them when I first brought them to her attention about 5 years ago after taking her to Gaydon.
Anyway, she knew she wanted one and she knew it had to be a 'classy' colour. :roll:
With such a poor remit, I set about finding the best spec I could - regardless of engine size or age.
After a few visits it was clear there are a lot of dog-eared examples out there. After upping the budget slightly, facelift cars were on the radar which led to even more dogs being passed off as 'minters' with the promise of 'first to see will buy'. Rubbish.
Anyway, I found a car which would likely fit the bill and last Saturday, we went to see it and struck a deal there and then.
Needless to say, Mrs Liquid is now a happy bunny and I now have another car to mess around with - hence me signing up here.
It's a 56 plate 6spd 2.5 in Monaco Blue with Champagne Sport Seats and aluminium trim on Style 108s.
I'm unsure of the seat colour as it's not as light as the Champagne I'm used to or had in my old E46.
It's pretty well specced with Nav, DSP, heated seats, cruise control, auto lights/wipers etc.
I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions even though I'm no stranger to BMW so once the sun comes out tomorrow, I'll get some photos sorted and post them up as she's been spending too much time driving it to take any photos of it.
