Introducing Sasha

[GazHyde]

Hi, my names Gaz and I would like to introduce you to Sasha. She's so pretty

2007 BMW Z4 3.0si Sport. Just passed 73k on the way home, full BMW service history and in pretty good nick generally. Drives like a dream, oh that 3.0 N52 engine is so dreamy! Needs a couple of exterior blemishes sorting and the interior, well lets lets just say that needs a fair bit more!

Exterior - Carbonschwarz Metallic - 416
Interior - Vollleder New England/schwarz/traum - LBT5

A huge thanks to @Lee for taking me to buy it and giving it a good look over. Always nice to take a day trip in the Zed Shed minibus

Before anyone asks about Rosie - she is safe for now. I've struggled with the thought of selling her and I don't have anywhere to keep her - she almost got traded in on Thursday (long story for another thread). However my best mate has stepped in and will be looking after her for the foreseeable future. I'll still own her, but he will get the enjoyment of looking after her! She will be cleaner than she ever has after a few days with him

Sasha is a little grubby after the 130 mile drive home. Couple of pics en route!

I thought the z4 itch was something you had to scratch again Gaz looks a nice car and as your doing more daily mileage now a little more in the way of comfort

 

[GazHyde]

I missed them comfy sport seats too much, with a million different adjustments to them. I just need to get myself a cruise control stalk ordered and I've got my perfect car. Oh, and some new wheels and a couple of other interesting items

The time was just right.

Oh, and of course I need to give a special thanks to our resident insurance broker @BMBabe who pulled out all the stops on Friday afternoon to sort me some insurance. An incredibly good price too, don't know how that girl does prices this low .

 

[DavidM]

Very nice car Sir! Health to enjoy the many pleasurable drives you'll get from her!

 

[andyglym]

Well hello Sasha. Nice one @GazHyde , love the interior.

 

[Low Rider]

Hello and welcome Sasha your looking wonderful. Congratulations Gaz on you new purchase

 

[board]

Looking forward to going for a spin in the summer.

 

[t-tony]

That'll make a nice car when you get it sorted.i did wonder how long before we saw you back in a 4. Love the red interior, maybe on the cards once I don't need to go to work anymore. A very nice find Gaz.

Tony.

ps. I enquired about the CC stalk from Sopers on Friday £102 inc vat. In stock.

 

[Grumps]

We've already spoken on Facebook but congrats mate. I'm pleased you've stuck with a zed. It wouldn't have been right somehow if you'd have gone for a 3 series.

 

[EnthuZiaZT]

Welcome back to the dark side, Gaz. Zed really looks nice in the photographs. I think this thread is going to run for some time.

[Zeti]

Congratulations Gary, nice combo!
You're on the next level now! Many happy miles with roof down!
kill Jag plates!?

 

[Aceman]

Well what a beauty great choice Gaz and those seats do like rather good.

Nah, you are thinking about it alll wrong. I just rename the site, clear out the existing tenants and start recruiting E30 owners. Simples

Cheers, thought they were more than that, a good price! Oddly the second cruise control I'll have fitted this month...

those seats do like rather good.

I took the picture from a specific angle, sadly the drivers bolster needs professional help.

Welcome back to the dark side, Gaz. Zed really looks nice in the photographs.

I'm not sure I left it mentally. It's odd but I forgot just how good the E85 is, just wish it didn't have the stupid electric steering on it. Removes too much feel, but I'm sure I'll adapt soon enough!

Your slipping Gaz, no .org stickers on yet?

Won't be long...

 

[Redline]

Sasha is a great looking car Gaz.
Not too much to worry about the steering on the A34 - not many bends!

How easy is Cruise to retrofit on the facelift model? I'd heard that the wiring loom doesn't have it in if its not a factory build option.
If its easy I'd like to get mine done.

You'll need a spoiler too of course to join @t-tony and me
What else is on the list of upgrades after you've sorted the seat?

 

[Grumps]

Good point! Chop chop! You coming to Rutland tomorrow @GazHyde to give it it's first run out!

No idea, not looked in to it yet...

Good point! Chop chop!

No. Too tired, didn't sleep much last night too excited. Then woke up an hour before my alarm. Yawning as I type right now.
