How long have you had your zed?

[Mchap]

Hello folks.
New member here, though not a new zed owner. I bought the zed new in Jun 2002 for Mrs JTM. She stopped driving it after a few years but we couldn't part with it. It is now my daily driver. Though not being driven much lately, even before lockdown, I would probably do a couple of thousand miles a year. Currently has 78k on the clock

Despite the light use, it is starting to show its age. Rusty sills and soft top stitching needing most urgent attention.

Lesser issues being heated seats not working, and recent flood in the boot causing the tilt sensor to corrode and need replacing, and cam position sensor failing.


Anyway, how long have you had your zed? Does it beat 18 years

sorry, had mine 22 years

Hi and welcome from me in Hertfordshire.
Had Z3 for 13yrs now have Z4Coupe 2yrs. You could say I wasted the first 9yrs before I found this great site with great people and outings.

Coming up 5 years so not close to your 18 years.

The 2.2 is well short of oomph, but an M would be beyond my competence.

All the right actions - just not in the right order ;-)

Hello all another newbie here, had my 2001 3.0 for 13 years with 70,500 on the clock, though not my everyday drive now can't see me ever letting go - love it biggest job to do is sort out the headlights which are never a problem until winter arrives, who needs to see the road anyhow am going to take the plunge buy a kit, charge the drill and clean them off myself, what could possibly go wrong.
