Hi Roy,

I think most Z4 owners hang out at z4um.com and / or zroadster.net -- zroadster is the official site for the Z Register, as far as I know.

But the general BMW meets arranged here tend to be good fun as well, hope to meet you at one someday!

Ciao,

Welcome to the forum Roy. Z4 is on my list. Rented one in the states back in January and it was fantastic.

Hope to see you at the meet.

true..when i got my yaris i only owned it for half years as that is my first car and for what i want is mad bodykit big exhaust and big sound system but i fcuk up the whole thing so i sold it after i spend more then €8000 on all the mod and then from yaris to hyundai coupe love the car but i make a mistake as i thought the insurance will be very very expensive for me if i buy a cabriolet but the answer is no.one day when i was searching on the net and hibernian website just pop up on the screen so i just curious how much it will be if i own a z4 and wow thats all i can say it was €150 extra for the deferent from 1.6 to 2.5.but any way now i really work hard to pay off my car as i am only 23 years of age.

And, if you have an accident, your Dad looses his no claims and you have to declare having an accident when it comes to your own insurance.

hi mikerd it will build up my no claims as well as we bought it from a broker and all our insurance is go through with them ect: house,life,business,motor...   thats why they make a good deal for me as they make a lot of money just for all of this insurance.

HI fey! no is the answer it wont looses all the no claims i think it said on the policy it will be only 15 or 20 % off the no claims and my dad got more then ten years on his policy.and he insurace his own car sl500 on the business policy so that why i will be the only person using this policy.
