Out of the Closet!

Post by eff1guy » Sun Jan 08, 2017 7:03 pm

Evening all, new member from West Mids. I've been lurking on here for about 6 weeks or so whilst I've been searching for a car. Never had a BMW before let alone a Z4. Jumped straight in at the deep end with a 35is :driving: Dropped a deposit on this before Xmas, it's been a long 2 week wait before catching the train up to Preston yesterday morning to pick it up. Quick picture of it outside the dealers as I arrived.

2013 on a 63 plate, 11,728 miles. Deep Sea Blue with Canberra Beige Extended Leather, Extended Storage, Extended Lighting, Media Package Professional with Nav, Folding Mirrors, Cruise with Brake, Electric Heated Memory Seats with Lumbar & Bolster, PDC front & rear, 19" 326's, Rain & Light Sensors, DAB Radio, remainder of 'Service Inclusive' until Sept 2018, Connected Drive Services. I think that's about it, would have loved the DSP Loudspeakers and Heated Wheel but hey ho, I'd rather listen to the exhaust and I can wear a pair of gloves. :D

Only a weekend car for me as I don't commute, so will be mostly tucked up in the garage. Looking forward to getting along to some meets but there doesn't seem to be much happening around the West Midlands?

Cheers
Pete

Didn't look like that after the 93 mile drive home in the mist and the rain! Loved it, can't wait to get to grips with it on a decent road trip.
Another quick pic after a jet wash this afternoon but the light was fading, so not at all crisp :thumbsdown:

Poor old eff1guy, just bought himself a cracking looking 35is and has walked straight into an in joke, you blokes should be ashamed :wink:

In all seriousness though that is a lovely looking car, DSB really suits the lines of the E89 - Hope you have some fun it!

Looks like a cracking Zed.

Well done, I'm sure the wait was more than worth it.

Welcome OP. :thumbsup:

I love Deep Sea Blue, and you might as well jump in at the deep end with a 35iS!

Now you just need to find some reasons to drive it before next weekend. :lol:
