My Z4 days are numbered

[jan_tekin]

I have had a fantastic 6 years of ownership covering over 80000 plus miles of

I've placed a deposit on a new 1 series as we are expecting our first child in April The plan was to keep the Z4 but I have decided to be sensible

Really going to miss this place and the forum runs, this is the longest I have ever owned a car and will most probable shed a tear when it goes

I have made some really good friends on here and hope to stay in touch when I'm Z less.


Going through my photobucket album here are some photos over my ownership:

Possibly my first or second forum run organised by Steve

Jembos Kent hoon with just me Steve and Jembo, This was the only run which required a refuelling stop halfway through

Another Kent run Organised By Jembo

Few from the Welsh Meet 2015

I'm parked next to the ugly duckling

Shepperd Meet

Perry's Sussex Breakfast run

I was lucky enough to to a 3000+ mile trip across euro this year

One from todays Breakfast Run Hope to squeeze a few more in

I've agreed to PX the Z but will offer it up for sale soon.

Congratulations, shame the car has to go. So this 1 series is it a boring one?

Awesome - and having seen the euro shots i really understand the pain during a trip ike that you develop a real bond with the car - but the new car will be great and plenty of time for twoseaters in the future .

of course you stay on here thats the rules

in terms on engine yes 118i, but it should still be a nice family car. Estoril blue M Sport with the plus package with red leather and a few toys.

Clearly some great memories in those photos. 8) Enjoy your new Beemer and stick around the forum. It's good to just talk .

 

[R100ELP]

So does this mean your car is up for grabs sorry sale? :wink:

 

[enzed4]

Lovely pics, I can see why it's so hard to let go...
But the new BMW doesn't sound too shabby, so enjoy what it has to offer.

 

[Grumpyowl]

Some great photos there. A new era in your life story begins.
Trust me the years pass so quickly you'll be back in a roadster before you know it.

 

[Bing]

Noooo

My early morning meet point buddy... Gone. Hope I see you before you sell it, but if not you'll still be welcome, of course

Congratulations though, everything is working out Jan

 

[srhutch]

Jan, don't jump the gun. Hold on to it at least until spring. For the little it will cost you each year I wouldn't make a rash decision.

 

[paddy wright]

Keep it if you can- I did when it came time to get a bigger car (x5) and am so pleased I did every time I drive it or go on a forum run- it ios more than a car it is your hobby. If you sell it in 2 years time the money will be long gone but you won't know what you spent it on!

 

[DPG]

Congratulations to you and the other half

 

[Marlon]

Looks like you've had a great 80,000 miles, sad you have to let it go

 

[pvr]

I must have been one of the few who bought a convertible when we had young children

No need to leave of course, soon there will only be a single Z in any Z run :lol:

 

[sars]

80,000 miles, that's a lot of happy memories and congratulations to you both too

 

[Carol M]

Massive congratulations!
You've been on a long journey in the zed but you are about to start another exciting one!

 

[Bing]

I must have been one of the few who bought a convertible when we had young children

No need to leave of course, soon there will only be a single Z in any Z run :lol:

I bought one when Wee Bing was 8...

And the lone Z is likely to be me at this rate

Jan, don't jump the gun. Hold on to it at least until spring. For the little it will cost you each year I wouldn't make a rash decision.

I can't help but agree with this, when you have kid(s) you really need two cars - Monika will need a car all the time for her and small(er) Jan, and there'll be lots of times when she'll be doing 'baby' stuff and you'll need to go somewhere else. I don't mean that in a nasty, you'll not be involved with the baby, sort of way but rather mums with young kids tend to have lots of mum & baby get-togethers and, if you tag along, you'll probably be made welcome but soon find that you get a feeling that they'd rather it was just the girls

No need to leave of course, soon there will only be a single Z in any Z run :lol:

And the lone Z is likely to be me at this rate

Don't worry, I'm not planning on #320 going anytime soon
