Whilst I love the car it is taking used to being so low as this is a daily driver for me, I keep thinking I will sell it but then I take one look at her and think she looks lovely.

She also has a lovely hardtop.

Welcome, that's an early one! Love grey with red leather, and the hard top is a bonus! I use mine as a daily too, you'll get used to it in no time, just watch those kerbs.

looks nice like the seats maybe seats may be an option in the future welcome to the mad house op

[Crazy Harry]

Pleased that you decided to stick with it

By now you'll have found out that you have to rethink how you use a car - particularly if you've changed from a four seater. Had mine since January and I'm still finding new places to put stuff - found a drawer under the passage seat last week I think for a first aid kit but its one more storage space!

Put the hardtop away for winter. The weather is great today so get the soft top dropped (any dry day above 4 degrees is my rule) and find out why you really bought it and why despite everything, you'll keep it. What still reading this - go and drive it

Welcome to Z4 ownership OP.

Your car looks great (I do like red seats)!

Enjoy!

[Carmad84]

Thank everyone for the warm welcome, the car is a real treat to drive especially days like yesterday. My drive home is a lovely winding country road which is great with the roof down.

Thanks, still unsure if I am going to keep the hardtop though! Might sell it as I haven't really got the space to store it. I'm worried someone is going to steal it from the garden..

Oh really? Where abouts do you live? (post code please)
