Hello everyone!
I picked up an si sport in silver grey, 2007, manual coupe a few days ago from Zed specialist, Zachary Luke in Northampton (great guy and good, honest service) so I thought I would introduce the car and myself.
I swapped from an E92 M3 with DCT box which I absolutely loved but was a bit of a money pit for a weekend car. I got the all clear from the steering committee to swap for a two seater, toyed with the idea of a Cayman or a TVR Chim/Griff but I can't imagine them being much cheaper to run than a v8 M3!
I settled on the z4 coupe because I have always loved the looks and feel it has aged really well compared to contemporary Caymans. The straight 6 engine was also a big draw. Not as bombastic as the S65 but turbine smooth and great low down urge. I only considered manual as well as both myself and my wife missed changing gear!
I can feel the love for these cars on the forum and it's obvious they get under your skin. I'm already planning some oem+ mods and ordered some Atomic CSL rep 19's from BM Autosport on PS4's, ZHP gearknob, SSDD gloss Black grills. Toying with a stubby aerial! Ill see how I get on with the whippy initially. Next job will be sorting Bluetooth and DAB. I also prefer the look of the orange indicator lenses from the pre-facelift cars so maybe doing that at some point.
Zedfest looked amazing today! Gutted I've only just found out about it. Next year! It'll be great meeting folk and getting ideas for other mods.
Here are some pics (hopefully!) but ill get some more once the alloys are fitted in the next week.
JK
