Hi Folks,
After quite a few years I'm back in a Zed. Previous cars have been a 1998 1.9l Z3 and a 2004 3.0l Z4.
I picked up a '59 plate E89 Z4 35i last weekend. I sold my 997 C2S earlier this year and was a bit worried that the Z4 wouldn't match my expectations performance wise. Initially i was a little disappointed but now that i'm getting to grips with the DCT and Sport mode the car is proving a worthy successor. It's never going to match the dynamics and power of the Porsche, but it's more than good enough for the road and my driving abilities.
I'm looking forward to getting involved with the forum again as it's been a while since i was last on here.
Here's the spec:
2009 '59 Z4 35i 7,000 miles
Deep Sea Blue
Ivory White Nappa leather
Pure White design package
sports seats
fine anthracite trim
Light alloy style 296 19" wheels
DCT
Extended storage (still doesn't seem like there's that much storage)
heated seats
front+rear PDC
Profession Navigation
ConnectDrive Assist and Online (no idea what this is)
Bluetooth phone prep+telematics
and here are some pics:
oh and here's my other toy. It's hard deciding which one to take out
and the boring daily driver. although i'm thinking about selling it as the Z4 is easier to use everyday than the 997 was. Actually I think there are a few people on here and the XDrivers forum.
thanks for looking.
