New member. Deep Green Metallic Z4 E85

[Rick A]

Hi all. I'd just sold my previous E85 z4 that I cherished for 3 years. However when this little rare gem became available in Deep Green Metallic, I fell in love! Picked her up last weekend.

She's a facelifted 2.0i and is a fairly basic spec, but I still love it. Planning to give it a good clean and detail this weekend (incl roof) and will post more pics.

She needs a few bits sorting - roof motor relocation, seems to be sitting quite high and there seems to be some knocking from the front end at low speeds. Any suggestions for trusted garages/people that can help at reasonable prices, as am on a tight budget? Based in Leicester. I read somewhere that there is a zedshed in Midlands perhaps

Kind regards
Rick

Nice, never seen one in that colour! I see quite a lot of E85 s advertised in various colours, but nearly always 2.0l. Most 6 cylinder ones seem to be black, grey or silver which I found disappointing when I was looking to buy an E85.

Hi & from Norfolk, love the colour of your zed I'm sure @t-tony will be along soon & can give you details about the Midlands Zedshed

Hi Victor. My previous zed was also a 2ltr. I was looking at a couple of 2.5's and 3.0s; but when I saw this advertised, the shortlist went out the window.

It is a quite rare and absolutely stunning colour in person. Only 41 E85s sold in UK. The odd one I've seen on other forums or on auto trader always seem to have full cream/beige interior (which personally isn't to my taste, as the car is my daily)

Thanks for the welcome folks!

Hey Rick, welcome from me too, proprietor of the ZedShed (Midlands) where I hope that soon we will be able to open the doors for more fun and games.

A couple of pics of one of the last busy days at the Shed. Since then a new addition.
