Greetings,

As an introduction, let me start off with my particulars:

Retired Marine Corps officer (23+ years) having flown electronic warfare aircraft and commanded a company of Marine Corps tankers. Currently I am supporting Marine Corps Intelligence in northern Virginia but hope to take my family back to the west coast where our families reside.

I am an avid Harley rider, a legacy inherited from my father, and am now the happy owner of an '03 Z4. A move that nearly cost me my marriage. Might have been a combined effect of having a bike AND a convertible. Gotta love secondary blast effects. But at least I have the support of my kids...

These fora are replete with knowlegable folk from all walks of life and I have come to appreciate the wealth of information contained in the brain-housing-groups of members on the various other forums that I belong to. From what I have seen thus far, this one is no exception. What I enjoy is reading about people with a passion for these vehicles and the subtleties that make up their personalities. Each car has a story to tell, relayed to the audience by their drivers.

Finally, it is refreshing to find a forum that is singularly focused on the Z4 type/series/model without muddying the waters.
 
Welcome aboard. Plenty of ex service on here. Enjoy observing and learning, it makes life so much more interesting. :thumbsup:
 
Don't forget to post up some photos of your Harleys - lots of bikers and ex bikers on this forum. :thumbsup:

How did you get around your wife - good job :lol:

Welcome :thumbsup:
 
Welcome.
I gave up biking (Hyabusa 1340) and bought my Z4.
Enjoy your new (to you) car, :driving:
as you've realised there's plenty of good info on here.
 
Hello and welcome to the forum don't forget to post a picture of your Harley and your Z4
I'm currently rebuilding my 69 shovelhead
 
Thanks all. The wife calmed down after an hour or two of ranting but confessed that the issue was not the vehicle but rather a combination of other things, my daughters horse-riding (and her associated teenager attitude) for one.

Here is my scoot:

Once I personalize the new beastie I'll post some photos, till then, she looks like every other grey Z4.
 
Great looking bike.
I suffer with tinnitus in my right ear. I blame it on loud pipes, never had open pipes like those though.
Hope you've got good ear plugs :thumbsup:
 
I have tinnitus on my left side, too many main gun rounds...

The pipes are actually not that loud, the road noise is far worse so I do use ear plugs.
