The long-awaited Z3 has arrived! The driver's door mirror has been 'secured' I.e. will adjust but won't fold in. (common problem?) No tonneau cover (disappointing), not serviced prior to sale (as advertised). Nil Desperandum, I spent 5 hours this morning cleaning, polishing and fitting new numberplates and eventually sallied forth into Derbyshire via Ladybower, Hathersage and Hope, resulting in white fingers,chattering teeth and a recurrent need to wee. Solution.....gloves, balaclava, have prostate checked. Conclusion?.....fantastic! Not had such a good drive since my old Sunbeam Alpine. Everything feels solid and tight (the car not me), no doubt due to the comprehensive service history. Two queries, If I may, for your advice. When the hand brake is applied on a gradient, the car seems to 'dip' slightly on the right hand side rear. Could this be hand brake operating on one side only? Silly question now..... if the 'Storage-bin at the rear behind the seats, is not a 'storage-bin which it clearly isn't, what is that plastic box thingy which is inside it? " Thingy" is a technical term which I picked up over many years of messing about with cars! Regards to all......John
