 North Wales....
After a BMW holiday i am back in the fold courtesy of 2006 3.0Si Roadster in Titanium Silver 40K on clock to be delivered later this week. Test drove over weekend, a very tight, smooth and a exhilarating drive, don't know why i did not add one to the garage sooner...!

Beemer love affair started with a E36 328I, then an M3 Evo Convertible and now the Z4... briefly flirted with a CLK and E Class Barge.... now have a Arden Jaguar STR with over 400 BHP and a Mini Cooper S Convertible.... on the drive with the Mini being relegated to third place and the Z4 earning an immediate place next to the STR and my Searay.

Looking forward to sharing any info i have gleaned over the years and seeing how i take to the Z4...... I will upload pics as soon as i take some on arrival, have a look at my past and present rides here..

Very pretty :thumbsup:

I do love those storm gear knobs - seeing one always makes me want a manual... Then I get stuck in London or M25 traffic and remember why I have an auto :(
 
Looking good although wish I hadn't seen the one of your gearknob - it looks pretty good....

Gearknob is a must have mod for a manual, making shifting less clunky and i can't take my hand off it.. :oops: ... with the weighting, it weighs in like a house brick.. :D Really pleased with it, weather has been mint since we bought her roof constantly down. I so after eat my words, Mr Bangles design is ageing ever so well... :) .... why did i not buy one sooner, i know kids..!.. now they are off to college and uni, the roadster is a great weekend toy for me and the missus, long lunches and spirited drives out.. :evil: ...especially as we do not do traffic jams in Wales, although we do do sheep, cattle and tractor jams.. :thumbsdown:

I like the ZHP, more weight in the Storm knob and the finish with the M/// engraving and gears is sublime. Just a more superior product and for £75 well worth it... my Arden Jag one was £150... :cry: ...but is nicer still ... :) ... i appear to have a a knob problem... :oops:
