My New Zed

A hard decision but after 9 years of owning the TT i decided to trade in, along with my 2006 Z4 for a 2010 Z4.

Picked him up nearly three weeks ago. I have been waiting for the V5 to come back so that i could transfer the plate
off the audi, he looks fine now :D

The weather hasnt been too good for any pics, but managed to take these today. Drove through some filthy weather and didnt get the roof down, but sun came out just as we pulled up at our first stop.

He is the 2.5 in Deep Sea Blue, 23i S Drive M Sport with black kansas sports interior. I love the huggy seats, so comfortable. BMW have definately improved the interior and the quality of the doors, and visibility for night driving.

Had a run up to Ambleside for lunch today with another zed friend in her Z3, had a lovely drive out.

Thank you, i love it, cant wait to clean him tomorrow, he got rather dirty on todays drive :driving:
 
Wheels are great for cleaning, you can get inside really easy - bonus, and thank you. :D not sure if these were extras from ordering car when new.
 
Thanks Mozza, would like to think i can keep this one for a long time now. Snoops said today i drive a tad more spirited than i used to :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for all your comments.

Apologies for none technical stuff that you guys prefer to read, but here is an attempt :D


Z4 v TT :o the build quality easily goes to the TT over the 2006 zed but is on par with the new zed - the TT felt sold,and planted to the road if that makes sence (im not technical in any way) and handled extremely well although i never pushed it to its limits :o reliability was 100% over 9 years. I have had two Z3's and a Z4 at the same time as the audi but needed to get back to just one car. I would say the audi was quicker off the mark too.

After going out in a friends 2009 Z4 a few weeks ago, had a really good look around it and that made my mind up what to look out for. I had a good test drive before i bought this one, the hardish ride feels good, and yesterday had a bit of a play on way home, (no other traffic around) the car is very responsive and very easy to drive and corners very well. The run-flats take a bit of getting used to but love everything about it. I was impressed last monday when we had some snow, not a lot but enough to leave good tyre tracks, and as i live amongst hills, wondered if i could get to work, no problem :D

Just need to source a wind deflector now. I have one from a 2005 zed but dont know it that will fit yet, need some decent weather to spend time outside :D
 
Nice colour! That was my wife's favorite.

It's interesting to see the comparison with the TT. Z4 has the advantage of going topless of course :lol:
 
Hope you enjoy your car.... They really are something else indeed....

Id....

Check a BMW dealer they will tell you what options were on the car when you got it.

Look at your tyres - the run flats play havoc with the 19" wheels and the type on mine were notorious for cracks when paired with run flats - using non run flats softens the impacts to the wheels and reduces the likelyhood of any cracks.

Other than that I wish you many miles of happy motoring with the car as they are great cars - the 2.3 engine needs a bit of work and its fun to do hood down the engine is pretty tuneful.

ruggedscot, thank you for your comments, most appreciated - when you say look at my tyres can you see something of concern ?

19's were not on my wish list, but thought they suited the car as it had everything else i wanted. I will definately look at a change though when the time comes to non runflats - what can you recommend?

Lovely looking zed you have too :D
