What midlife crisis
Hi all,
I've been lurking for a week now and its about time I introduced myself.
For the past year I have been living like a recluse to save for a Bmw S1000rr sportsbike.
My doctor has now informed me that i need an operation on damaged cartillage in my knee so the bikes on the back burner.
I had one of those 'senior' moments as you do (at 47 years young ), and I decided that I would still have a Bmw that had blue in it, with 200bhp but with an extra set of wheels.
Now the proud owner of my first Z4. She's a 2011 23i M Sport Highline edition in deep sea blue.
I cannot stop grinning which is rare for us Yorkshire chaps I'll tell thee.
Looking forward to more lurkiness and being part of the group.
Steve

Very nice - love the blue colour . But the light interior would scare me everytime I (or a passenger) got near it . I'd start seeing dirty marks whether they were there or not...
Enjoy the great new ride, should be a blast.

Thanks for the friendly welcome chaps.
Youre right about the leather enzed4.
I will definately be on Maguires christmas card list with all the leather cleaning products I'm going to buy.
