Hi everyone,

Ive been lurking for a month or two as I've been thinking of owning a z4, finally its time to show my face.

A quick bio: Im masters student at the royal college of arts studying vehicle design, i did my BA in automotive design. During which i bought and sold cars to indulge and fund my studies. Mostly japenese so, s2000s, rx7s, 350zs, and mx5s etc. But this is my first german machine.

If anyone reads EVO you might have seen me in last months issue with my design taking the win in a design contest they issued us. plug plug plug

The car. Lovely bit of kit very comfortable and one of the best standard driving positions for my lanky 6,4 frame. A friend of mine found a car with a hard top at an auction which was at a price i amply couldn't pass up.

The only little niggle i have with the car is the diff, i feel the 3.0 could really have benefitted, but ill soon get used to it. My favourite part has to be the interior, it has aged perfectly it looks as current as any modern car in my opinion.

I do have plans to modify the car slightly. My history does say that once i start i cannot stop, but I'm happy with what is a nice comfortable car, thats fits into the sw3 backdrop nicely.

I took a trip down to newquay to catch up with the folks, and made use of the cleaning gear while there

Welcome thenwood. Very tidy looking 3.0. With you all the way with regards the timelessness of the model. Chris Bangle has many haters, but I'm still impressed by the lines and art contained with his cars.

Be interested to see pictures of your previous motors, plus your winning EVO design.
 
Hi welcome along put up a link for the EVO thing I am sure we would all like a look :thumbsup:

As for the different £600 gets you a Mfactory LSD????
 
Hi Tom, welcome to the Forum. Loved your design in EVO, Though I prefered the front before you lowered it. :poke:

Fine looking Zed too. Having come from a Fiat Coupe to the Z4, I'm a bit of a Bangle fan Myself. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

Wilbo you will indeed recognise the user name, i was lurking in the mx5 classifieds for a clean FI'd car before this came up! As always theres never any when i actually have some money to spend.

Buzyg, Nice to meet you, where about in cornwall are you? I grew up in newquay and for once the weather has cooperated for my visit down.

I was lucky enough to go for dinner with mr bangle a couple of months ago, he's a complete nut case. He was asking for everyones napkins to draw on, and the way he sees the design world is fascinating.

Ill pop up the EVO renderings, as well as some other stuff i get up to, any chance to share some work, I've had some interesting opinions in the past which is great!
