Well its with a sad empty feeling that i said good bye to my beloved z4 today... owned for the years and taken her to Monaco, nice, cannes, st tropez, bern, Zurich, alps, Italian lakes, Venice, Corsica and Tuscany.
in all the time of ownership the only problem i had was a missfire that was cured by a new coil pack. she regularly returned high 30's mpg.
so the end of an era, but i need to get on the property ladder. hopefully get a z4 coupe in a few years when finances permit it.
just wanted to say what an excellent forum this is and contains a wealth of information. i managed to get about £6500 for the car, a 3.0i 2003, i think i did ok to get that as despite me doing my best to look after it there were a few minor age related defects such as stone chips and a scuffed alloy, it also needed an oil change and a service later in the year, i was honest with the buyer and pointed out what defects i was aware of, hopefully it proves as reliable for him as it did for me and that its still going in another 9 years!
hopefully be back on here in a few years time!
