Hi moving from Z4 forum to Xdrivers

Post by R26Andy » Mon Nov 12, 2012 9:13 pm

Hi all, thought I`d drop in and say hello. I just put a deposit down on a X3 3.0sd m-sport which I cant wait to get my hands. Unfortunately I cant justify keeping my Z4 Coupe so thats getting traded in.

The X3 is a 57 plate with 63k on the clock, FDSH, quite a few toys - heated leather seats, media pack etc.

I think I managed to do a pretty good deal on it ( :blink:)

Looking forward to being involved in the forum.

Cheers

Andy

Pvr - I dont see that as a bad thing :) Better the devil you know!

Thanks for the welcome everyone, the Z4 will be sadly missed but I needed a bit more of an all rounder and the X3 certainly seems to tick the box's...and it will definitly be faster than the Z4 in the snow! Heres a pic or two...

She is indeed a good looking girl.  It may be hard to say goodbye but with the X3 and your engine choice you've not only chosen an allround but a damed fast one!

So do you have to change all the flower pots outside your house to match the colour of your new car?  :))

More powerful hair dryers more likely.

Single sided exhausts gives you a lob sided hairstyle. :P

Thanks again for the welcome everyone.

I have always joked the Z4 comes in his (coupe) n hers (roadsters) varieties but I guess now I could be on the receiving end with the X3 v X5 :)
