Hi guys & gals
Wanted to join the forum and say hello after getting myself a z4.
I am going to start with a confession...This wasn't meant to be the car that was meant to be sat on my driveway.
2 months ago I was in a position to buy myself another v8 and found a Silverstone II 2012 M6, long story short the car was rejected and is now sat on my driveway as a nice shiny paperweight while I go through solicitors. But...every cloud and all that... I still needed a car and after dabbling with the idea of getting a sub 1k shed for the short term, I gave my head a wobble and started looking for something that was relatively cheap but would be fun to drive.
Enter the z4... A car I have seen occasionally, always saying to myself they look like a bit of fun. I've always like the appeal of car that you don't often see on the road, having owned a Mk1 Focus RS & c5 RS6. So after a few weeks searching Autotrader, slowly increasing my budget and lurking this forum to read up about them I am now a proud owner of a Toldeo Blue 3.0 SE Auto Z4. Couple of shots below...
The car has 95k miles on it and seems to be in fairly good nick, previous owner has fitted new brakes, suspension and wheels to it. Roof motor was replaced in 2015 also. Mechanically it seems in fairly good nick while cosmetically it need a bit of TLC with a few scuffs, marks and scratches here and there, cant complain for the price I was looking at and the age the car is. Nothing mental but something I will look to rectify at some point.
First port of call is to replace the bonnet badge which has seen better days, then give it a general tidy and clean inside and out. After that then probably look to see if I can find a new head-unit that has blue-tooth so I can play Spotify. After that see where it takes me.
Was part of RS246.com forum and did a few meets, so always up for a drive, car show or meet up to meet new people.
Anyway nice to meet you all!
Cheers
Duncan
