New Z4 Owner

Post by mw1967 » Wed Jun 07, 2017 8:24 am

Good morning all,

I'm the proud owner of a 2007 Z4 2.5si Sport in Montego Blue with cream leather 57000 miles with full BMW history.

This my first two seater as the kids have now grown up and got there own wheels :D .

I'm also a bit lacking in the ability to post pictures (over 50) so please bear with me.

Looking forward to picking some brains about the Z4 and its little niggles.

Regards

Mark

I do have one question concerning the hood motor, mine is still in its original location with no record of it being changed, would it be a good idea to have it moved into the boot ?

Another yes from me, there are several members who are expert at relocating it into the boot without having to remove the roof. Depending upon where you are in the country you will find one close I'm sure.

Hi and welcome OP.

I do like Montego Blue with lighter interiors, but am hopelessly biased!

Your car looks great BTW, and well done finding a 2.5 Si. :thumbsup:

If you are about on Sunday 18 June there is a local meet planned at Newlands Corner, near Guildford - there are a few of us oldies that usually turn up!
