Fox,
Can you give me a breakdown of what exactly is involved in different types of BMW servicing? Is it particular easy to do the service yourself?
mr_tommo,
Italian? Get yourself a Fiat Coupe

Pictures to come on tuesday when I pick it up. wooooooooooooo!

If you need to ask, then tbh, you don't want to be doing the servicing yourself imo.

Congrats tommo, be careful where you park. Some really jealous plonkers around, especially seeing a 21 year old.
My manager had the Z4 M come fresh from the factory and what a car is all I can say! Unfortunately I had to be 21 to drive that car under BMW's group insurance policy. Ah maybe one day
Look forward to the pics

I have a Z4 you will love it! It's such good fun to drive and the ride is pretty good. I love it so much were doing a driving holiday next year
Your insurance figures are good, my lack of no claims means I pay £1500!

Getting sedated until Tuesday sounds like a plan! Been out this morning to waste a little time buying new wash mitts, roof cleaners, more wax, new wash leather etc..
Well I didnt go for the one in the OP in the end.
Spec..
Metallic black with Red Leather.
Manual 6 speed
Sat Nav
Bluetooth & telephone connection
Upgraded Carver 10 speaker system (sounds amazing)
Xenon lights
Upgraded 18" 108 Alloys
6 CD multi changer
Heated seats with driver memory
Individual New England leather
Rear windshield
Rear parking sensors
Climate control
Auto headlights and wipers,
Sport button
(though thats standard and probably doesn't do anything, just looks cool
).
Its had the runflats ditched already, which saved me a job.
Full BMW service history
3 Owners
50,000
Service 9,300 Miles away which is an Inspection II
Just had rear pads replaced, How much is a disc change on these?

Yeah Im a little worried about that tbh if I drive up town for a night out or what ever. Its secure in the day and at home though really.
I was hoping it could be added to my parents fleet insurance with Norwich Union so I could pay a knocked down price, but found out before I went to view it that I couldnt.
Great minds think alike! Ive been planning a driving holiday down to Sicily to visit family next summer. I did it as a passenger 2 years ago in dad's Espace. Though driving the Z4 with the roof down through Europe will make it many many many times better.
With regards to Insurance, like I said above was hoping it could be added to fleet, however.. It cant (unless all drivers are over 25). And they also told me that I havent accumulated any no claims bonus, which I was told I would. (not full NCB but that they would be able to get me 1 years for every 2 I did on the fleet, when we took the insurance out)
So Im in the same boat no, Group 19 Z4 with zero NCB
Works out at £1379 now.
Who are you with for your insurance?

The GF and I just put down a deposit on one for £9,895.
It's a 3.0 04 with 57k on the clock, 2 owners and full BMW service history. Next service is in 13.5k but is an inspection II unfortunately.
It's got heated sports seats which we really wanted and everything else bar xenons and sat nav which we didn't mind about anyway
Hopefully picking it up next weekend!
Forgot to say, they're also refurbing the 108s for us

My insurance is with admiral. It was the best I could find. I had a mercedes c class and a Audi TT before and they were both cheaper to insure.
I can't understand why I have no luck with the Z.
Still it's worth it!
Make sure you get pics up here and the Z4 forum asap!

Can't believe the price of these now, glad i sold mine back in the summer when prices hadn't taken such a beating. Looks like you got a good spec aswell. For insurance try the sponsor @ z4-forum.com, they might save you a few quid.
