Hi all, I'm new here. Not new to cars though. I am a big Datsun Z fanatic with a 1971 yellow 240z. I just picked up a white Z4 E89 from the LA area and drove it home. Great little car and it is seriously a modern version of my old Datsun. Long nose and very sexy looking car...

I purchased the car online but went through a lot of hoops, checking for matching VIN's, computer codes, and I paid a guy in LA to give me an evaluation before I pulled the trigger.

Anyway, she's a 35i with manual transmission, red interior, and a very clean drivetrain. Only surprise was when I rolled into the tire store to put on a fresh set of Michelins.. apparently the two rear wheels were warped requiring 4.0oz weights.. I'll be purchasing new wheels so I bought tires for the new set of Apex that will be on order soon. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure.

Nice looking car! I just bought one in August 22 and drove it from SD to FL. Great break in trip.
