A belated introduction

[TR4man]

In response to popular demand - well, one person - here are some photos of my Z4 Coupe which replaced my Z3 as my daily driver last April.

I'd bought it with 42,000 miles and at it's MOT last week the mileage was 51,000 (it passed, naturally with no advisories). Apart from an oil change, the only thing I've done is replace the dreadful runflats with a nice set of Michelin Pilot Sports - and what a difference they made!

Anyway some photos...

As you'd expect, being a daily driver it can get rather dirty

What a beaut. I love the cream leather/black combo.

You did a heap of miles in your 3 , you now have a good number of miles in the 4 which do you prefer? Do you miss not having a ragtop?

Welcome from me near Lincoln, when you use them this time of year they soon get filthy although mine in Sterling Grey doesn't show it quite as badly as a dark or light coloured car. Love that interior but no good to me in me job I do. Looking forward to ditching my run flats very soon too.

Tony.

Loving the colour combo

Nice pics - the interior trim is exactly the same as mine. Good choice!
9k miles in 9 months isn't bad. I've done 3k in 5 and it isn't even my daily drive

Yes it certainly is. It's fairly local to me and a great place to blow away the cobwebs!

Great views up there,I think I remember a quarry the other side of the road with a big stone pilar, some great roads on top of the ridges

Yes, my little Z3 was a brilliant car - it provided me with 52,000 miles of faultless daily driving in just under three years. I shall always have fond memories of that little car which I had bought initially to see me through a gap between jobs. I suppose the true test came when after two months I'd got a job with a car allowance but chose to carry on using the Z3 for another two and a half years because it was such fun.

I wonder if the new owner is on here?

I don't miss the fact that my Coupe isn't a ragtop as I'm lucky enough to have a couple of older convertibles for when I fancy some wind in the hair.

Anyway a couple of photos for old times sake

Nice to see you back in a zed and great to see a picture of it in front of Mow Cop, used to live close to there.

Love the cream colour interior!! Much better than beige IMO! JIM

Very nice car you have there, i like the contrasting interior.

You put some serous miles on your old zed. My original plan was to keep the Z4 as a weekend car and buy a nice compfy diesel to manage my 1400 mile a month commute. I like driving the zed so much I'll probably not bother with the diesel. I can squeeze 39 mpg out of it on a run, not bad for a 3.0.
