Hello all

I'm new here, yesterday I bought a 58 plate, E85, 3.0 si. However, I'm not new to BMWs, I've had 12 over the last 30+ years. The last two over a 7 year period were a 135i and a 130i. I improved both with suspension mods and proper tyres...the 135i also got engine mods, of course!

I've been running a bangernomics MX5 for the last year and it's been reliable and fun. Almost the ideal bangernomics car: it's cost me one drop link, one can of oil and one oil filter! I like the soft top experience, but I got bored and hungry for a bit more performance again.

My Z4 is low mileage, manual and of course has the delightful 3 litre N52 motor. It's pretty well equipped and the last owner fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4s, but also had a minor bump and so it has a broken Xenon headlight, side repeater/indicator and a dented front wing. I'm on the hunt for both...

I look forward to learning from your experiences. No doubt I shall be asking lots of questions, but I'll read historical threads first...
 
Hi and welcome aboard. :thumbsup:

If you've had a 130i you'll know all about the wonderful N52 engine! I like them so much I bought a 330i last year.

Did anyone mention photos yet? :lol:
 
Thank you all for the warm welcome!

I used to get quite involved on BabyBMW when I was modifying the 135i...but actually, I don't think I ever posted a pic!

What's that phone app that works well with this forum platform? I remember being told that it's the easiest way to post pics...

Excellent - thanks, that's so much less hassle than BabyBMW!

I shall take pics and post then...

Yes, things moved on from needing to use a hosting site on here years ago.

M3Cutters still works that way though - probably one of the reasons I don't visit it that often!
