Hello, friends!
10 years ago (almost exact date) i saw and drove my first Z4. It was an M, so the sensation was a bit overwhelming. I always wanted one and after ten years, finally decided to go nuts. So here is my new friend, his name is Vik and after just ~50 kilometers I am absolutely in love with him. Of course my g/f (and everyone else for that matter) told me I am insane and this is not a "practical" car. But who cares, if my huge grin is back when I drive it ? I missed that grin since I sold my dear old E30. 2.5is 2006, 218hp, automatic. It has some options but not all, so it's also a nice project car. I've already ordered the cruise control retrofit kit and can't wait to get my hands dirty again. Woo-hoo !!! [attachment 177 image.jpg] -- A physics truck just turned over outside.

Very nice! Enjoy it! And it's just in time for summer :-) What's the first project, turning it into a manual? ;-)
I drove a 1M Coupé a couple of weeks ago, as the tyres had gone already I allowed myself some drift action, it had been years since I drifted a car and I never felt so confident, this one was really easy to handle. The ride home in my 320d was quite dangerous, it lacked power while overtaking... |

No, I specifically looked fir an automatic this time, because I am old and lazy
In fact the automatic is very very nice, almost better than I expected. And I have paddels on the steering wheel so I can change manually any time I want (besides the usual manual/sport modes). -- A physics truck just turned over outside. There's physics everywhere! |

First mod is in. Well it's not a mod, the way I see it, I've completed the car with what every car should have - cruise control
I've also ordered the Audiovox/Dice mediabridge, damn - those are hard to find nowadays. [attachment 178 IMG_0364s.jpg] -- A physics truck just turned over outside. There's physics everywhere! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 05/09/2013 05:19AM by jaffar. |
