Noted thanks!

Looks like these roofs are much more reliable than the first look at the forums would have you believe. I'm delighted to see that!!

Car ownership-some are good, some are bad. Hard to predict and not worth worrying about. Take precautions and cross the bridge when (if) it happens.
Understood thanks, I was just trying to see if there was a trend of problems but it looks to be a pretty reliable set up..... roll on Sunday.... that will be the z3 coming home with me!

Sounds like the roof shouldn't be a problem then OP.

But it's Monday now - how are you enjoying your Z4 after the sleepless nights anticipating collection?

I guess as you haven't said you are still out in it! :driving:

Sorry I got the wrong Sunday. :?

Car looks great in the sneak preview - is that Deep Sea Blue?

I hope you have a route planned for Sunday - you know, the long way home! :wink:

Doh!!!
I mean z4😂😂

Yes it's deep sea blue, probably as awkward as black to keep looking good, but hey ho, the deal is right so onwards to Sunday!!!

Got to drive home from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, was thinking of maybe going via Southampton??? 😜
