Nice one Mr. Wilks :thumbsup:
Looking forward to your review, as you certainly have a comprehensive depth of knowledge based on the sheer quantity of Z4s you've owned/driven.
I'm always concerned by the words 'twin turbo' in any engine that's creeping up in years and mileage, but hopefully yours is in good shape, judging by the service history you've mentioned.

Thanks , ive owned turbo cars before well over 100k no issues , stick to basic principal,s & all should be good , always decent oil ( for me it has to be Millers ) change very regularly ( for me every 12 months or 6-7k max) always allow to warm up & just as vital with turbo's after a long heated period give a couple of mins tickover before turning off .
Its very hard to disguise a turbo set up thats in need of attention so my thinking is no different to a Si or S54 , if you buy a decent one & treat it well there's no viable reason to think it will fail on you

Very nice Mr Wilks
I'm still searching for mine, I'm looking for a DCT though, test drove one and loved it.

Good choice Andy, this is the spec I'd be looking for if I wanted to upgrade my 20i-be interested in how you get on with it once accustomed :driving:

No.10 and counting,Andy.
Will you get to a dozen before next summer,lol?

Looks good,and a nice combo,red interiors work well with silver/white/black e89s :thumbsup:

These cars are good,come to life in Sport/Sport plus :D
You do feel the weight compared to the M,but the twin turbo poke is nice :)

As others have said,look forward to seeing what wheels you go for on it :thumbsup:
