Well, six months on from doing my bit to reduce to the number of Corsas on the road, and sadly totalling my 330Ci in the process, I'm finally back behind the wheel of something decent...

Many thanks to Headrat for being a complete gent, apologies for pinching your photos, but I'm afraid I'm terminally lazy... :D

Where's these pictures of something decent?

Oh, hang on, I see it now, the Fiat Coupe ;)

:D






On a more serious note, that is a very clean looking Z4.. muchos fun will no doubt ensue..
 
at least take some new pics if your going to the effort of a new thread...

may aswell just bumped his thread when he purchased ;)
 
I wanted that!

Lol, sorry about that, I did feel a bit bad when I realised that you're the guy that's been after one for ages... How's the hunt going?

I've been after a new toy since breaking my old one. My 330 had sod all in the way of extras, which wasn't an issue as it was so cheap, but when presented with an opportunity to get a new one, I wanted to be a bit more selective about the spec, and had spent ages waiting for another facelift manual 330Ci, ideally with Nav and Harmon Kardon, but at least factory Bluetooth and Xenons. I had difficulty finding one at the right price as the market has picked up, but missed a couple due to work commitments and having the house turned over in the new year. I've been very fortunate in that my old man's old 530d wasn't selling, and he kindly lent me that until I'd got the insurance claim sorted out, and had the house refreshed. I'd opened up to the idea of a convertible, but when I tried a 330 cab, I didn't like it as much as the Coupe. Then a couple of weeks ago I started a new contract that should see me doing ~1k less miles a month for a little while, and with end of year dividends a couple of weeks away, when this came up I decided to take a look. I hadn't driven a Z4 beofre, and while it's far too soon to be objective, it's a cracking motor that's been well looked after. There are a couple of little niggles that I'd like to get sorted, but nothing too drastic, and in the meantime I'm just enjoying the top down and that noise... :D

I do seem to have developed a fuel leak though... :eek:;):D
 
Heh, only pulling your leg. I havent been searching for too long and just made the decision to hold off a bit longer to see how the market goes and reduce the impact on my savings.

In the meantime I am tempted to go drive some.. but then I may fall into the trap of "want!" and ruin my plans.

At least its still nestled in the warm bosom of OcUK motors.
