Lifer after 7 years of Z4 ownership!

Ewazix · Post by **Ewazix** » Sat Feb 18, 2017 11:22 am

Almost seven years after buying my first BMW it seems I'm a lifer!

I moved from two decades of classic MG, Alfa, Stag ownership to the Z4 in the hope that days out to the coast a weekend away would no longer involve a meeting with the AA man and winter re-builds! The Z4 hasn't let me down so far.

The previous owner suggested getting on the forum and it's been a fantastic source of information and entertainment, wheels and parts. I now also know about VANOS, MAF, RFT's!, the vagaries of BMW electronics, Ctek, what a clay bar is, roof motor drains, the mysteries of the offset, what makes a good advert, ..... and why I won't fit a stubby

So thanks guys

a few highlights,
On the original Turbines which I still like, shame they were 17"s

I always said you had too much time on your hands
Shouldn't you be busy entertaining your guests

Congrats- I've had mine nearly 10 yrs and still love it. Much as I live my new F15 X5 I still get a big grin every time I open the garage and see my z!

Congrats, you will be here forever now.

I love those turbine wheels as does Mr. Wilk's, and I think we both agree with you, shame they weren't 18"

14 years of driving Z4's so I'm beyond hope...

Not sure I will ever make it

Congratulations OP.

I also love those turbines - despite being 17s to me they look better than the 108s (shouldn't really say that seeing as I have 108s)!

Congrats mate - I too must be close to 7 years of owning zeds - first one was silver with whirlees and a whippy - also loved those wheels - had it nearly 3 years - current one almost identical to yours - sterling grey , 108's plus the much desired whippy

Sold my old one to a mate who had pestered me for months to sell it to him - had acute withdrawal symptoms so bought another ! My car history doesn't include such an exotic model as a Stag ( always loved them despite their appalling reliability reputation ) but did include MG's ( real traditional MG's not the crap MGF ) Hope you enjoy another 7 years
