Hello everyone again been a while since I last posted.
Sold the Z3 last year thinking I had got it out of my system (Mid Life Crisis as the wife put it) , and for the first month I thought I had then....., I started looking at Auto Trader and Ebay and basically looking for the same car again, wishing I had not sold it:bashhead:. Seems to me once hooked its for life not just Christmas.

Old Z3 2.2 Sport

Some chap in South Wales near Cardiff called Colin with the handle Castlejeep owns it now, so it you see this car go by give him a wave.
And if you see me in the Z4 give me one. Its an 07 plate 3.0SI with 23k on the clock Auto much more oomph.
I added the 3 click roof the down that was a good call don't have to hold down the button now, and have given the roof drains a clean (will keep on top of that one) little crack on the third brake light so one is on order went for red so it matches the rear lights.

Me in the new Mid Life Crisis :racecar:wasn't sure about red seats but they are kinda sporty and have grown on me.​
Well be kind to me for being absent with out leave for so long, have been lurking for a few weeks but there were thousands of messages to read, so I put them all to read and started again.
Did read about @Jack Ratt as he live just down the road sorry about your Euro road trip such bad luck, but makes a great dit.
Im sure I have Q's about the car in the future just ordered a power lead to connect to the fuse panel for a Dash Cam haven't got the cam still not sure which to get, have one in the Tiguan and that works great but need it to blend in. Will take some pics as and when

Nice colour choice Kit.;) You need a nice roadster decal for the third brake light! Add-a-fuse is a good item for connecting into your fuse box.
Nice to find a low mileage car too, mine had 16,500 on it when I got it nearly two years ago, nudging 30k now though. Great car mate, enjoy.

Tony.

Nice to here from you again.
I did wonder if you went through with selling your 3 and although I never got to see it in the metal I could see it was a cracking motor so your buyer has ended up with a lovely Zed.

As for your 4. Well what a nice result.
Let's hope she gives you as much pleasure as your 3 did.

Welcome back. The 3.0si is a cracking car, that is one low mileage Z4, completely different from the Z3.

Welcome back. Nice looking Z4 :)
 
Thanks people. First time in the rain today, don't think the wipers have seen much action will need to stop off at Halfords for new ones, the noise from them is driving me nuts, or is that the steering wheel in my pants.:whistle:
 
Hi Kit, I was wondering if you were still around. It's good to see that you are :beer

Hi Ken, Looks like the chap in Cardiff got a really nice motor. Withdrawal symptoms after selling it! I was just the same after selling my 2.8. Although I still prefer the look of the Z3 I can understand why some change to the more modern Z4, in fact it was a dilemma I had and I was very tempted by several Z4 s I looked at. In the end I just decided I liked the Z3 shape too much to let any other consideration get in the way and bought my 2.2i sport.
Your Z4 looks a very nice buy and I hope you enjoy it just as much as your Z3. Like the red seats, my Z3 has red and black interior!
Cheers,
the other Ken!
