1st BMW

[1 HPR]

Hi Folks,

A wee introduction form me....new to BMW and I've just purchased a long admired 2016 Z4 20i.

Travelled 400 miles from Dunbartonshire to buy it and all seems good mechanically. Just spent 2 days cleaning it.... a good wash, clay, Autoglym SRP, Meguires Ultimate Polish and finished off with a coat of Sonax Brilliant Shine and happy with the outcome.

Looking forward to some better weather and learning more about the E89 from these pages.

Cheers !

Hi and welcome.
Just watch those wheels. They are 326Ms and do not like potholes (especially with runflat tyres).
2016. Must be one of the last ones made; I presume it has a good spec as they seemed to throw a few things at the 'run out' year cars.

The shadow paint on the wheels does look good!

I also have a 2016 20i E89.

Thanks to all for your kind welcome !
The shine came at the expense of a sore arm but I think it was worth it
The car came with the wheels as they are...immaculate, I reckon that they must have been re-done just before it went to the dealer where I bought it.
I think it may well be the shadow paint and I have been warned about the potholes and runflats
Seems to be have a good spec but as I am new to BMW, I'm still figuring it all out !

Thanks again for the welcome.

Being a BMW, if has anything more than a steering wheel, it was a cost option!
