10 years today
So 10 years ago today , I picked up my 2004 3.0 E85 on 30k miles
The idea was keep it for couple of years and tick that sports car itch
So 23k miles later , one roof motor, rocker cover gasket and starter motor and one very dead pheasant it’s still with me !
I may have another toy now, but the Z4 is the keeper.
It’s quick enough for me , reasonable cost effective to run and I am still amazed at a steady run what mpg you can get from it . Unless chasing alpina’s around back lanes in the Cotswolds !
I have met some great people and enjoyed meets and events that I would not have done without buying the Z4 and joining this forum.
At present the z4 will only go when I cannot get in and out of it .
Here’s to another 10 plus years of Z4 ownership
Cheers ASZ4001!
