How many misserable zedders out there?

Post by alec.m »

Yesterday bought the Zeds out in force. I came across seven in my travels and got a wave from only two! One rejection I could understand as it looked like a domestic was in full flow but the others? I have noticed a lot of indifferent Zedders in the past but it`s disappointing.

Yes - most Z3 owners are a miserable lot, but perhaps they suffer frm tunnel vision, think that waving at strangers is a little dodgy or 'uncool.'

If you want companionship, wave at MX-5 owners!
A Z3 is not just for Christmas - it's for life!

Glad it`s a universal thing. I was beginning to wonder if my feet were smelling in this warm weather.

Out of the last four Z3's I've waved or flashed at, number two lifted one finger off the steering wheel. :shrug Oh well.

Z3 owners are 2 a penny, meeting another E89 owner is a major event :? which has yet to happen :(

That's because they are all in the workshop getting their squeaks and leaks seen to.....

I remember when you liked being a Z3 owner Tim. :D

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Haha still do, :wink: I'm finally getting around to fitting the carbon splitters and looking into a gloss black hardtop :)

Luckily the 4 has been problem free, the odd drip into the cabin but no squeeks or rattles and enjoy the raspy exhaust when topless :D Its a shame some have been having so many probs but to me it looks like bad dealers incapable of fixing the probs.
