Car arriving

Post by Gutterrat1 » Sun Jan 03, 2016 7:59 pm

Well new to all this,I have gone out and bought a z4 3ltr 3 yr old with 13000 on clock it is immaculate and in showroom condition I have an Mgb but could do with some positive feedback from you all Hope I have done the right thing I just want to get out and enjoy the road. Never had a bmw before but it has a heater and electric roof which is a bonus on the mgb,which will have to go soon.

Welcome, why do you need positive feedback about the car ?? I check reviews before I purchase, then make my mind up from there. Hope you enjoy your car, we need pictures for the BM and MG :thumbsup:

Well had it 14 months now and made a few changes, fitted Bridgestones RF all round as others were 13yr old, replaced pads and two belts. Took it round the three peaks last night and couldnt believe the difference the old ones must have been square. Also retro fitted the cruise control it was a doddle to fit Just love this car cant wait to take it down to silverstone for the "classic"

You say the tyres were 13 years old in your last post?

Is the 13000 correct or is there a Zero missing? :rofl:
