Winter workhorse + Health update

[N4LLY]

Picked it up today. So far, i am impressed.

Very clean, no scratches on the leather seats or anything.
Battery even looks new? Tyres are very good and all same make in each corner.

A steady 80 down the M20 and was surprisingly quiet. The sound system is very good
better i would say that the Z4. Most load up the CD multi changer with some banging tunes

The last service at 105K was an inspection II

So was £ 2300 in the end with 3 month's bluechip warranty, if that worth anything

Thats a lot of car for the money. Think they've aged really well too.

Nothing wrong with that, and the same money I spent on the first Z repair

[MikeyH]

Looks like a really good buy, well done.

Looks a bargain

That looks like a good buy Sean.

And it means your Z4 can avoid winter roads too!

[Pondrew]

good buy Sean.

Is someone leaving?

That is SO cheap and a massive amount of car for the money. They must have bought that for under a 'bag of sand' to sell it so cheap.

Does that mean you've sold the Z3 already?

Got all my junk in the car, so only one trip to the tip necessary

On way back picked up a new 7ft Christmas tree, fitted with room to spare
(Top tip: Homebase doing 20% off Christmas stuff)

Inconciderate neighbour parked a range Rover next to my prefered bonus parking space
So had to squeeze in next to the Zed. Bit tight on the near side.

Little update.

Still very pleased with this purchase.

Heated seats: Working.
Memory Seats: Working.
Sat Nav: Working. It found me a new short cut to the tip

This is my first Diesel car, and thought about it, in 40 years motoring this is the first Diesel i have ever actually driven

Ran the tank down low and filled up with BP Ultimate, is this stuff actually worth it ?

Back in the bonus parking spot.

For diesel? Don't waste your money, the cheapest will do absolutely fine, just stay clear of the deep fat fryer stuff.

[Pondrew]

Back in the caretaker's bonus parking spot.

Fixed!

[Mr Tidy]

My 123d had the same engine and for the 80,000 miles I did in it I only ever used regular diesel with no issues at all.
