New member new owner only had the z4 2 weeks new to bmw as well
So I test drove a couple of z4s and the one I bought is a 2003 model 2.5 bronze colour part service history 93k on the clock only paid 4k for it and what a joy to drive it is am 56 years old and smile when I am driving it
Only things that need doing are the soft top needs cleaning headlight need buffing up what a superb car
I feel that I robbed the dealer I will post some pics when I work it out thanks for reading

Press the post reply button but NOT the "quick reply" and then go to attachments tab and the option to select a picture is there. :thumbsup:

Welcome by the way. Zeds are great fun and I hope you have as much fun as the rest of us :thumbsup:
