New Zealand Z4 Owner

[Haggisman]

HI forum members from New Zealand.

Purchased a 2003 Toledo Blue 3.0 roadster with Oregon Black leather interior, 53,000 miles. Have retired, sold the E36 M3 racecar and wanted to get some fun back in to “normal” road driving and something that my wife and I could enjoy on driving trips.

Have renewed front lower bushes, spark plugs and coils, all fluids, new front and rear slotted rotors, pads and higher temp brake fluid as I will do some track days.

Enjoy the car, not disappointed but do miss the raw power and driving experience of my M3 racecar. Considering tastefully modifying the Z4 but know the law of diminishing returns and really keen on a Z4 M, if I was in the UK I would be giving Mr Wilks a call. Manual Z4’s are a rarity here, only 3 to choose from when I was looking and far as I know only 2 available at the moment. Holding off on doing anything major to my car in case I track down a M model.

Very impressed with the forum activity and look forward to being part of it.

Cheers for now - Haggisman

Cheers

Welcome to the forum mate.

Your car looks a treat and it also looks like you’ve owned some good’uns in the past, especially that Dakar Yellow E36 M3.

Welcome to the forum from Cornwall. Great looking Z4. I would normally turn to my son for help with technology, but not driving tips. In timely fashion he landed in Blenheim on the flight from Wellington at 17:53 last evening, your time.

You have officially been warned.

 

[Haggisman]

Thanks for the warning, I’m in Wellington. Cheers

Your safe for while then. He plans to explore the South island for a few months. Then back over to Wellington, in late Feb and find some work to help pay for the rest of his stay.

It's easy to go off people isn't it? :lol:

Probably more like 3C here just now.

But at least your cars are cheaper and have more choice, can’t decide which is better lol. Yes I can - Cars
