New Member, 3.0se Z4

[tallguywales]

Hello !
My name is Craig & am currently living in Magor
Currently driving a 'stock' 3.0se Z4 and grinning alot!
After playing about over the years with an MR2, TT, Z4, Disco, Merc, found myself back at BMW buying another Z4 ?? Loved the Cayman but couldnt afford one, didnt fit in the Boxster, sounds a little like no other option - but soooo enjoyed my first one!
Anyway, sorry if booooring you to death.
Looking forward to future runs (is anyone headed down to Goodwood Festival of speed on the Friday am?) & meets.

Hi there Mr Mojo
Thanks for the message, seems a friendly forum - gutted I missed the 'No foolin' run - but always a next time!
The Z4 is grey (not silver)

Hello Craig

[rb5_180]

Hi Craig...would be good to see a Z4 on the run.

I'd have thought a Boxster would be easier to fit in...providing its not raining

[tallguywales]

Hi there guys!
RB5_180 - I thought so too!
Something funny going on with the centre tunnel, seems to kick out a little at bottom, makes life difficult if u have size 10+ feet lol. Was also a little tight between the bottom of the steering wheel & thigh - but then again, I am 6'2" and not as slim as I used to think I was ;0)

[Davey S2]

Can you really not fit in a Boxter at 6"2???

Welcome by the way.

[tallguywales]

thanks for the welcome!
No problem with head room, but the thigh - steering wheel room is limited...and the pedals (clutch/brake) way too close for my feet1

You will love it, but get a strut brace fitted before it's delivered.

Hi there Craig
Don't forget to get some pics of your Z4 up when you get a chance.
That Mercedes 810 looks like a bit of a monster!
