New Z4MC Owner

[bertiejaffa]

Hi All,

Just thought I would introduce myself, I am Bert (real name Lee - long story) from east Manchester - I am sure I will already know some of you from the zroadster (.org & .net) forums.

Having had Z3s for the past 10 years and still owning a Z3M I found myself needing to scratch a long standing itch for a Z4 Coupe so after a bit of searching I managed to find a great Z4M Coupe through a friend of mine who is a local car dealer. The moment I started to drive it I knew that I had to buy it so a deal was done and she arrived in my possession this week.

It is a 2007 model, shes in pretty good condition, a few modifications which I like but nothing too drastic, front and rear splitters, bespoke exhaust, Eventuri intake upgrade, silver with red leather. FSH and lots of dealer receipts - she certainly looks better than most 15 year old cars with 94K on the clock.

I have already found a number of useful articales on the forum which have helped me with connecting the bluetooth and fixing the one touch window operations and I am sure there will be many more requests for help and guidance as I find out all about ownership.

I look forward to meet some of you (old and new) on any forthcoming events!!

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful Z4 you found there. Though the wheels are a smidgen too big for my personal taste. :wink: Love the front and rear splitters.

Pictures of your Z3M would be appreciated. 8)

Hi Lee, welcome to the forum and to Z4M Coupe ownership.

Those splitters look great. I know CSL wheels really suit Z4s, but so many Z4s have some version of them I sold the CSL Reps mine had when I bought it and have gone back to OE Style 224s.

And if you have any photos of your Z3M I'm sure we'd all love to see that too.

I think I remember one of the owners of your car (the guy who did all the mods to it) from the Z4 Facebook group. I think his name was 'Wayne' if you want to look it up.

Hello and welcome, nice Z4M coupe

 

[bertiejaffa]

Thanks everyone for the welcome and kind words - Ive already booked on a couple of events so hopefully I will meet you all either via this site or another soon. As requested here are some pictures of my current Z3M - it is 1998 and is pretty OEM - only done 48K and has been garaged for nearly all its life.

I have had the Z3M above since Nov 2019 - previously to that I had this one - this was a bit marmite to some with the complete changes of the interior and the bodykit but it was a little bit special - it was the first ever Z3M in the Uk and was used by Top Gear by Tiff Needall against a TVR in Feb 1998... I had it for 5 years before losing control on the A9 at Perth after a weekend meet in Scotland - I wasnt going that fast at the time, literally only pulled away from the traffic lights (that you can see in the background) but it was lashing down and I spun on oil on the dual carriageway - anyway it was unfortunately written off but I bought it back and now a friend is converting it into a Ferrari 250 kit car.
