New old member coming back😎

Post by Reamesy » Sun Oct 29, 2023 11:44 pm

Been gone a year or so due to life needs and musts. Selling my latest ride a SLK 250CDI AMG SPORT which has served me well up and down the country. However I have retired and now gone full time again but in a better position to own a nice Z4 again.

I’m looking for a low mileage 23i auto. If budget and right car came along a 35iS but I think that’s a pipe dream for now.

This will be my commute car 100 miles each way A roads averaging 50 mph.

I had my fingers burnt with a 20i N20 timing chain issue so steering well clear. A nice six pot time tested will be perfect.

I know I was unlucky but keep it simple stupid is key hear.

See you soon 🤩👍

Welcome back…

23i are going quite cheap..£6k-£7k

35is are down to £10k but they are problematic
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
A very modified Atacama Yellow 35is :thumbsup:

Thank you to you all for welcoming me back into the fold. I always knew I’d be back. It was all about timing.

And I now have a garage. Not massive but it’s dry and clean😎👍

Well, I have bagged myself a little belter. 2011 23i M Sport High line. In Titan Silver with red leather. Auto (which I wanted), 31000 miles with full history. It is in near new condition with no signs of wear at all.

I looked at a few but most were not up to the standard I was seeking. This one ticks all the boxes. I will be replacing the RF tyres with Continental sport 7 all round. The alloys have not been refurbished and look brand new with no cracks. I spent ages under it with a torch and rolling the car to inspect the inside edges as I have been bitten by these before (326M).

I pick it up in the morning so will post photos tomorrow. I did pay over the odds but just couldn't let it go. But I am more than happy so that's all that matters.

Coming back after driving an SLK feels amazing as the SLK was just too boring. :driving:

Congratulations on returning to Z4 ownership. :thumbsup:

It sounds like you've found a gem, but we really need to see photos!
