Finally got myself a Z4 after 10months searching!!!

[JINGLE]

Hi everybody, been member of here a while and on the look out for the perfect Z4 and finally found it after nearly 10months of looking!! Specs as below:

BMW Z4 2.0i
White
2008
Red nappa interior
18" 108 wheels (I think....the star shape lol)
51,000 miles
£8,000

mods (that i know of)
Exhaust
Z4M front bumper
red leather roll hoops


Been searching for a white Z4 and almost gave up hope and got a black 1, then a week ago 1 popped up for sale in Northern Ireland!! (I'm from near norwich) so after several messages and many, many photos and videos sent to me I decided to take the risk and booked a flight for £60 on Friday morning to Belfast airport and met the guy there, car was completely as described and in amazing condition so after a test drive etc I parted with £8,000.

Then for the journey home.... A 2 hour drive (100mile) to Dublin then booked up a ferry to Holyhead for £180. Then drove off the ferry and drove all the way home in ONE go for nearly 6hours (400mile) non stop and the car felt fine and dealt with it absolutely fine so that was also reassuring! Owned the car less than 10 hours and already done a solid 8 hours driving and loved it!

Still driving around today with a ridiculous grin on my face


I'm now FINALLY a member of th Z4 club and can't wait to start modding and getting lots of help from you guys

1st up is to get a stubby aerial

Now where are the pictures?

Congratulations Jamie, sounds like a great example of a rare colour combo. Enjoy it!

My tip, get some wheel wax on those style 108 alloys if you're driving it through winter. Those wheels look great, and are prone to corrosion. Wheel wax and a regular wash will help.

You've had the car since Friday and still no pictures

:worthless:

Nice one Jamie, patience is virtuos! It was the colour combo and extras that did it for me when I bought my 2.0 last year. Get some happy snaps on the go!

Congratulations - you're going to love your Zed after waiting to find the right one!

 

[JINGLE]

Thanks guys! Came so close to buying a z but I wasn't really happy until I found "the one" and I'm SOOOOOOOOO glad I waited!

Will now search the site and see how to upload some pics for you guys to see before I take some myself when I get a chance

Sounds nice 8)
Looking forward to seeing the pics

Well done, 8k - good price for a 2008, thought it was 2003 money 8)

 

[RickRob]

Er, excuse me. You admitted to when you picked up the car and yet there are still no pics. If you are not quick with the pics you could well be the first member to be pursued under the new quick pics requirement.

And to add insult to injury you're talking about replacing the slender sensual lines of the whippy with a stubby! Tut tut.

 

[Grumpyowl]

Enjoy your new to you car

 

[Bing]

Congratulations Jingle, sounds lovely and can't wait to see it

Nothing wrong with a svelt stubby either :wink:

Not a fan of white cars because even when polished and clean you don't get the depth to the paintwork as you do with dark colours but this is nice
