New member based in Kent

Post by Barryprman » Sun Feb 12, 2017 4:50 pm

Hi everyone. I am a new member and hope to secure my first Z4 in the next week or so. Have an 05 2.2 lined up but the owner is away working until next weekend so cannot view or complete the sale till then. Have been looking for something suitable for around 2-3 weeks as I have promised my 13 year-old son a road trip across Europe in August and opted to complete this in a Z4. Anything I should be looking out for with my new purchase? Thanks in advance and will post images as soon as she is on the drive.
