New z4 owner

Post by BM1 » Wed Feb 17, 2016 9:41 pm

Hi folks, happy to have picked up my new z4 2.5i last week whilst originally searching for an old school TT when the Zed found me, and I'm glad I spotted - the test drive had me hooked, despite the dealer informing me the battery needed charged before heading out. Against the alarms bells telling me walk away I purchased and to my delight on here the only issue with the battery running down quickly is the bonnet sensor fault, highlighting where I Park with the hazards flashing all day, picking up replacement tomorrow.

No complaints aside the usual run flats compromise and dignified water draining checks but happy motoring all round and an extremely helpful forum of members on here for help at hand. I'm also surprised at how flawless the paintwork is on her.

Thanks for the pics. So few newbies have been posting pics I thought that Photobucket had a waiting list! Looks very nice.

Cheers Ste,

Haha don't worry I cringe at those using sponge anywhere near paintwork, wheels and kneeling for the sponge use only as a strict rule but I knew once I took the photo the looks I'd uproar sheep baa are in plenty stock
