It looks outstanding OP really like the colour!
I don't have the M but absolutely love our Z4 roadster.
It's unlikely we'll get the new shape when we change as we're looking at the X2 when it eventually comes out but they are fantastic cars!
Do you know how many examples of your car they did in that colour?
Thanks! I don't have the M but absolutely love our Z4 roadster.

I believe it's one of 7 in Monaco Blue in the UK.
Been out in it today. Wow, it's so powerful! So much wheelspin! Absolutely love it. I don't think I'll ever sell it again!
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!

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?

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.

Lovely. The lighter interior colours are so much nicer! 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!

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... (-:

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!

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!
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!

She actually wants it to be a bit more lairy, she drives my Stage 2 Golf R Monday to Friday so feels that its just some grunt and engine noise her 3.0 is missing.
Whenever I've drove the Z4 I've felt that you don't really need to be doing warp speed in order for it to feel fun and special, I find it quite a cruiser and that's what I like about it. My Golfs noisy and savage so its a nice to just sit back and soak up the sun in the Z4.
She will be going down the route of CSL wheels on the Z4M which I think suites them perfectly, the Tigerclaws I fitted as they were cheap and replaced some terrible 16in alloys... They are very heavy however which no doubt has a detrimental effect on handling.
I just need to get the Mrs to wash & wax the cars now, you've got yours well trained!

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!
I have the exact same car in the same colors - I still love it! I do believe the color is rare as I have only seen one other Monaco Blue Z4 since I purchased mine in 2006. But 7? I don't think it's quite that rare...The colour is very rare, apparently only 7 were made in this colour!

Well it seems it may be based on a database a dedicated owner has put together:- http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index.htmlGassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
