I am now a proud owner of a Z4 35i and the performance is a BIG step up from my Mini One.

It has been a great car so far... other than needing a brand new DCT transmission and replacement tail lights.

Below is a pic of Pabs - heading out to Austria in a few weeks time and intend to take some better photos

Hello and welcome

Welcome on board. Great looking Zed.

Welcome to the forum, you won't loose that in a car park. Did you get the car cheap because of the faults or were they done under warranty ?

 

[PaBs1986]

So very true... unless it is parked behind a Van.

Car is approved used. The tail lights were done under warranty. The new transition was due to a kerb stone flying of the ground and smashing my sump.



Transmission oil leaking



Offending kerb stone!



Thankfully the council accepted negligence!

What was wrong with the tail lights?

Welcome along - that's a stunning looking Z4, and definitely a huge leap up from a Mini One!

So it's a tale of two halves so far - bad luck getting your transmission damaged, but good luck getting the council to pay to fix it.

Now hopefully you can just enjoy it.

Thank you for the kind welcome messages.

LH tail light had a faulty indicator and kept flashing a bulb warning on the dash.

RH tail light was full of dirt. Can see it a bit in the photo but was far worst in reality.



Definitely a tale of 2 halves - felt my stress level lift for a week. But absolutely delighted with the Z4, glad I didn’t fall for a TT instead. Feels like a special occasion each time you get in and see the yellow bonnet in front of you!

Welcome on board.
Lovely looking motor and in my favorite colour.
I was looking for yellow 35i's when I bought mine but ended up with a silver one as I could bring myself to pay the extra 5 or 6k for yellow.
Happy with how mine looking now though.

That is a BIG hit on the wallet for what is effectively the same car. Love your contrast roof against the silver - looks like you have ended up with something just as unique!

Stunning and welcome

Great car - hopefully you'll never need to worry about the DCT again. I think yours would look great with a black roof like Jollyjoiner's, it would match the dark wheels and black side mirrors Although some might say it would take away some of the vibrant colour you've got going on there 8)
