A mate came round in his Sepang S3. Colours are very similar.

Beautiful combination.

Really miss my old Z4, the most enjoyable car I've had.

Removed larger piece of foam from the bulkhead end of the pipe.

Sound isn't massively different, but slightly louder past 5k rpm. All the better for it!

Love the colour. I am toying with one as well. The Z4m is nice, but the lack of using one, seems criminal to pay the VED it charges plus they demand quite a premium over the 3 ltr. Any of the low mileage cars seem to be snapped up by Syntners and then they add 3 grand. Just something I have been researching for now.
Great looking cars. One day, it will be in the fleet..........
Justin, just seen a grey one has surfaced on AutoTrader with low miles. I'm in no way affiliated to the seller, just thought I'd let you know in case you are in the market now.

Cheers Matt. Would love to be there now, but will sell my Focus ST privately and then go looking. I'll still have a look at it on Autotrader. Problem is, when I drive my ST, its so good, I cant bring myself to sell it. Wish I could keep it and have the Z4 er........ and a Westfield again !

Lovely motor with a great engine

I had a couple of these but roadsters, the older 3.0SMG and a Z4M in Bronze.

Now I have nippers and recently purchased a 130i with a long list of options fitted. It's a great all rounder and rear doors are a must for me. Very nearly went for the 330i N52 but nothing around with a decent spec and manual gearbox when I purchased.

You might discover the Z4 has a noisy clutch release bearing when engine is hot - don't worry they all do it!

Thanks John.

Not heard anything so far but I will keep an eye out.

I did look at 130is as well, but thought I would be selfish while I still can and go for 2 seats. The engine is a peach however.
