Hi there,
After going without a car for the past 20 years or so through a combination of riding my Vespa, working from home and sharing the wife's motor when needed, I recently took the plunge and purchased a 2007 2L 205E model from eBay. I'm a complete novice when it comes to all the technical stuff, so being pointed towards this forum early on was a great help. Having said that I did commit the cardinal sin and not get any checks done before I committed to buy, hopefully that won't come back to bite me in the months and years ahead but we'll have to see.
I've got loads of questions I want to ask as I'm getting to know my Z4, but I'll do some more looking at previous posts before I make requests for information which may have already been covered but one thing I wanted to ask was, is there a way of accessing online versions of owners manuals anywhere? I've tried entering the VIN into a couple of websites which offer the service but this hasn't got me anywhere. Ideally I'd like to get hold of an original hard copy but they are going for daft money on eBay and I'm not sure where else I might locate one.
Thanks for letting me join the forum, cheers, Tingworthy
PS - Bearing in mind I'm a complete novice and I have lots to learn, if there are any Z4 officiando's anywhere near me in Barnsley who wouldn't mind acting as my Z4 mentor it would be great to hear from you!
