New Owner of a 2015

Hi everyone! It was finally time to say goodbye to my beloved BMW Z4M and get something a bit more practical and something my gf would be willing to drive (the Z was a bit to hardcore for her and she didn't like driving it).

So I actually went to the dealer looking at a Paceman but then I saw this guy over in the corner of the lot and that was the end of that.

Thanks nothing planned yet, been detailing it all week. It's in pretty good shape only 19k miles but still I can tell the car was not garaged and is in need of a good detail and some polishing.

Thanks! The Z4M roadsters are actually not that expensive and the depreciation, or lack there of, was probably the best of any car I've owned.

That being said having a lot of fun driving around in the Mini. It definitely feels very quick. I think this car spent some time overseas because everything was set to metric also has rear fogs which is weird to see here and when I was cleaning it I could tell there were scuff marks where a longer european license plate would go.
