15 Years Today
As title says, I bought my Z4M 15 years ago today. God, where did that time go?
Won't bore you all with an essay, but suffice to say the car is pretty much the same as when I bought it, except for a ZHP & stubby
Recent expenses include a front end refresh with a bit of PPF, new discs and pads but the rod bearings are original, so I won't bother trying to sell it
It's holding up quite well for an old girl, think the next thing I'd like to do is refresh the steering wheel sticky plastic inserts, and maybe get it ceramic coated but other than that driving it might be a good start and get along to a few meets this year
Thanks again to the forum admins who give us all somewhere to come and spout rubbish about cars

The car looks lovely. Congratulations on looking after it so well. I bet it has given you an immense amount of pleasure over those years. Only ‘anoraks’ like us on the Forum will understand and appreciate what I mean.

That’s a good stint! To many more miles (I also didn’t realise the original Flimper actually has rear tints!)
