Hi all!
Nice to see there is a forum out there for Z4 owners. I am a very recent member of the club. Took delivery on Monday 3rd August in the UK, started my mammoth journey across Europe on the 4th. Finally reached my new home in the Balkans today after a 2500 km trip.
I'm a complete noob to decent cars, only got my licence at 33 and have since owned a Punto and an old 1800 Escort as well as driving the obligatory company Golf up and down the UK, hoping I can get a lot of info from here as well as make any small contribution I can.
I've noted a 'friendly' rivalry already between models browsing the forum, should be amusing. Mine is the new hard top 23i. Anyway I am hoping for a 'first', part of my journey took me through Switzerland and Italy and having had a browse around I decided to take on the Stelvio Pass of Top Gear fame. Fingers crossed I might be the first to send a few pics of the new model from there?
First one is just before the pass, somewhere between Livigno & Bormio.
Next couple are on the North face, the only time I really stopped to take a couple of snaps - it's all about the driving after all : )
Finally a look at part of the North section for those who haven't seen this pass before. For those unaware of it, it is a pass of 40 odd hairpins up and down an Alp. Have to say in terms of sheer driving fun some of the approach roads were better, there are too many cars, motorbikes, and very hardy cyclists on this road for it to be a pure thrill. Still, it was a great feeling to get up and down it.
Looking forwards to chatting to all of you
