I've just bought a BMW Z4 M Roadster - Rare Monaco Blue

[danyeates]

Hello!

I picked up my new car on Monday but not had much of a chance to drive it, until now. So, had the first long run in the car last night. 200 miles, left Lymington at 18:30 and arrived in Falmouth at 22:30, that included a 30 minute stop for dinner! Pretty quick! Had a fantastic run, even discovered the car has bluetooth so that's cool. Handles amazingly and has soooo much power! Overtaking is effortless! And she's beautiful! I'm absolutely loving the car. Even managed to average 28 MPG on the way down to Cornwall which I'm impressed with! We did have a few blasts too so didn't drive like a granny the whole way.

My girlfriend and I spent a couple of hours cleaning, polishing and waxing her today and then took it down to the quay for some photos. Then as soon as we'd finished taking photos, it started raining! Still, at least it held off until after we'd waxed it. I'll let the photos do the talking…. (there's loads!!)

I'd love one of these, infact a (lesser) z4 will hopefully be the next car! Absaloutely beautiful, and I love the colour!

Thanks. It really is awesome! I didn't think it would sound so good!!

The colour is very rare, apparently only 7 were made in this colour!

Thank you! I'm so pleased! It's my first properly fast roadster and I'm thrilled. I chose it over an SLK 55 AMG and I'm pleased I did.

I haven't had time to clean the interior yet, but that's seprang bronze leather (I think that's what it's called!) and looks great with the blue.

[Jimmy No Hands]

Lovely. I keep trolling the classifieds for one of these.. Well, not an M but I reckon the 3.0i would be capable enough.


Great car mate.

My invoice is in the post

Get some E46 CSL wheels on it! They complete the car perfectly IMO, all because of Beedub? (I think) his supercharged one with those wheels is perfection! Lovely car fella! Look after it

[Chris_VRS]

That looks fabulous in that colour fella, great choice.

I too have just taken delivery of a Z4 albeit a 3.0

One suggestion would be to get a stubby aerial to replace the stupidly large thing they come with as standard, straight swap:-

Sure? You didn't drive one

Looks lovely though, they're a proper bargain for what you get.

[iphonedyou]

It's gorgeous. Health to enjoy

[danyeates]

Thanks for all the positive comments. Very pleased!

Cheers for the tip for the stubby aerial. Link won't work ony iPhone but I'll look it up. I did think today it was too big!!

Yeah, I didn't drive the SLK, as I was so happy with the Z4 M. I think I'd miss the manual box!

Yes, I have my eye on some. Just quite a lot of money! His car is stunning! I remember seeing that a while ago.

[amirzed]

are you sure it's not Carbon Black? - cos thats dark dark dark blue with a hint of black too?
