Hi All,
I have been contemplating a Z4 for some time since a mate of mine who noticed I drove mini roadsters and countryman for the last 3 years and I thought the handling was second to none until a mate of mine mentioned to me that the BMW Z4 is the big boys version to the Mini Cooper.
It was my Birthday just before Christmas and I decided to treat myself since living on a tight budget for two years due to just starting my own business. I read all the threads on here and looked for all pitfalls and found one in Torquay with 65k on a 03 plate with full history and a vast amount of receipts.
After inspecting it, the engine sounded beautiful and I could sense the love the car received over the years from its owners. Needless to say the handling and speed was out of this world I preferred it over the mini cooper roadster. A few back and forths over the price and I brought it cash and drove home. I have to point out I was a changed man on return
The car naturally edifies beauty in all aspects and I don't want to do anything to upset that. I want to keep it stock' except buff out a couple of tiny scratches and refurb the wheels when the weather improves. (Sorry if that sounds boring)
I had to move to London last year which made me sell my car due to always being in congestion which being a lad from the Midlands was not use too. I found it easier to catch public transport or ride my bike. So I originally thought it would just be a weekend/Summer car but Low and behold I find an excuse to drive it everyday and its a sheer pleasure the grin of my face only stops when I return home and turn the engine off.
Now I cant wait to meet fellow members who share the same love for the car at your meet ups, let me know lol
