HOPEFULLY should be getting my new Z4 M Roadster today, subject to everything being as it should.
Having not owned one since mid December I can't help but feel a little jittery, I have really missed having something I can be proud of on the driveway. It may not be as good-a-deal as I got last time, but hey it's only money... although interestingly this will be the first time I have ever owned a non '07 reg car! This one is a 58' and it appears to have a good history with all the servicing done in well known BMW dealerships, no funny bits that would make you think. A couple more owners than I would like (I'll be the 5th) but on my last one I was the 4th and tbh that never made any difference to me. It's also in the colours I originally wanted when I bought my first one, but you'll have to wait and see the pics :wink:
I have a couple of things I'm thinking of doing to it;
- H&S or RPI exhaust
- 19'' CSL (OEM or replica) or Alpina alloys
- Carbon/black vinyl wrap on the front & rear lip
- ...also the grill, unless I can find a matt black one to replace it with
- Fit my new titanium M gear knob
But this might go on the back burner until something shows up.
Perfect weather to collect a convertible so I will be one happy chappy if it's up to scratch.
Already have a couple of events lined up too; PHSS Silverstone on the 17th Feb, BMWOC meet 23rd Feb, Goodwood Breakfast Club 3rd March, and currently planning a trip to Denmark/Germany later in the year...
CABRIOLET SEASON IS COMING BACK!
...but first things first. Must collect. Pics etc. to follow later - wish me luck!
---UPDATE---
she's home... :wub:
