Hello From Exeter...At last

[Jonno Bee]

I first came across this excellent site over a year ago when I was considering a Z3. I read the buyers guides the service gen and after a few months of serious looking tracked down a '98 2.8 in Essex. Spent the winter months giving it a thorough service and am now enjoying the drive. Always puts a smile on my face from the moment I fire it up. Out this week over Dartmoor on a a very misty April morning for a top down blast. Finally sussed out how to put a few pics up too including my favourite roadside stop with the help of my son. Cheers chaps for a great site!

Welcome on the forum, great looking car you have got there.....

Great car and a happy owner by the look of things Jonno, welcome from near Lincoln. The HT looks good but I guess it'll soon be in the garage for the summer?

Tony.

Nice car, and a very warm welcome from Llantwit Major near Cardiff.
Regards
Tec

Welcome to the club. Great looking Zed you have there

 

[Jonno Bee]

Thanks Chaps. Yes Tony the hard top is already off and my next project is to make a ply cradle to bolt to the garage wall for safe stowage over Summer.

 

[hard top]

There is a hardtop storage bag for that @Jonno Bee

 

[GazHyde]

Welcome Jonno, I'm so pleased the site has got you a good start on Zed ownership! Car looks awesome

 

[Jonno Bee]

Thanks Hardtop I got a storage bag with the car that even included a BMW logo 'd fleece blanket for when the you fold the hood down. My dog loves it! I just need to get the roof off the garage floor and maybe an excuse to give the jigsaw some exercise.
Gaz the site is excellent. The wealth of knowledge and common sense approach of the articles was very useful when I was researching potential cars.

Hi and welcome to the forum
From Bradwell near Great Yarmouth

Hello from Truro. I got my Zed in Dorset only to find when the V5C came back from Swansea that it was traded by a guy from Newquay.
Mine was the first one I looked at but was hooked from the start. I'd been looking at SL Mercs but the Zed was half their price but twice their value. The auto box has never been a concern to me. The 6 cylinder engine is so torquey you only need one gear anyway

Enjoy your Zed and sign up to some of the drive outs

 

[Tim@Prestige]

Hi & welcome!

I hope you enjoy your time on the forum.

 

[Grumps]

Straight in with the pics! Nice work! Welcome from Mansfield!

 

[POG]

Welcome from Portsmouth, you have a very nice ZED...

 

[BMBabe]

Welcome from Aylesbury @Jonno Bee i have friends in Exmonth and hoping to drive over to see them this year Maybe we can arrange a zed cruise your way??

 

[DavidM]

Welcome from Ireland!

 

[Jonno Bee]

Thanks again for the welcome everyone. I will track down the bag and brackets JIM and Hardtop. I would like to meet some fellow Zed owners down here. We have some great A and B roads in Devon and it hardly ever rains (that much!) Exmouth to Dartmoor is pretty good with a choice of eateries on the way.
