Extended leather looks fantastic. Just those little extra parts covered with leather really lifts the interior. I've got the same interior colour as you but without extended.


Congrats on getting it back! Anything wrong or happened to it over the 5 years?

Love having it back!

The extended leather is lovely. A must IMO. It looks so good.

It's not quite as tidy as it was when I owned it the first time around. Previously it had been garaged from new and it had never been out in the wet. It was like a brand new car.

It's since been stored under a cover and has a few light swirls and scratches as a result, but nothing too bad.

They had Paint Shield fitted to the whole car, so the paint is still pretty mint underneath. Unfortunately it has had a couple of scuffs on the front from speed bumps and a couple of people touching the front bumper when parking next to it. I've removed the shield from the front bumper and it's mostly mint underneath, except for a couple of marks, which I'll have repaired. I'll then have it rewrapped in PPF.

All four wheels have marks, but I've just dropped them off for a refurbish at The Wheel Specialist. Looking forward to having them back.

Z4s are great fun - I'm on my second E86 Coupe!

I'm addicted, especially as my latest is Montego Blue with Pearl Grey leather and Cirrus aluminium trim - lovely combination! I just wanted to get away from some shade of silver or black!

Get to Z4 Forum guys!

Lovely. The lighter interior colours are so much nicer!

Gorgeous Monaco Z4MR, OP! (Sure it's not Midnight blue?...)

The photos are fantastic, don't know what people are talking about when they moan about Bangle's design of this car. The light on the cold steel blue paint is fantastic, and a credit to your photography skills.

If this is for sale, plz PM me... (-:

Thanks for your comments

Won't be for sale again I'm afraid! I sold it once years ago, and have just bought it back!

Just run the VIN through the VIN decoder....

Colour MONACOBLAU METALLIC (A35)
Upholstery VL WALKNAPPA/SEPANG BRONZE HELL (LTA8)

Great to see you bought her back Dan!

Make sure you get some photos up when all is up to scratch again!

From memory my research found she is 1 of only 6 UK cars in that colour combination!

Enjoy!

Hi!

Yeah, love having it back. I was looking for an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, but I couldn't find anything in budget. Dealers are wanting over £35,000 for cars with 65,000 miles on. I couldn't justify that for a car that was selling for less than £30,000 a couple of years ago.

In the end, I bought a car that's just as quick, will cost much less to maintain and cost me half as much!

Inspection II time at Iridium Engineering (highly recommended BTW!)

Lovely colour OP!

My Mrs has recently replaced her Cooper S with a Z4 3.0 which I've just had the pleasure to drive whilst my Golf R was off the road... Of course I had the roof down in January!

She loves her so much so that I keep finding her browsing the classifieds for a Z4M in black with red interior.

Very nice. Go for the Z4M, it's a complete animal and totally different to the 3.0 (I've owned both). But be aware, that's not as easy to drive day to day and it is a bit lairy. It's more of a weekend fun car. It's not particularly fun in traffic!
