Trigger pulled as they say. Far too heavily loaded and having promised never to buy a new car again after my Z4M Coupe a few years back, I definately need my sanity tested I suppose, but what the fuck. Seriously, you really do only live once.

The 0% finance helped though and I do plan to keep this car for some while!

Ceramic brakes. Christ - hope you're going to hammer it to get the best out of them!

It'll make a brilliant car even better!

Sounds like a great spec. Plan on any track days with the ceramic brakes? wink

Yes absolutely. Part of the reason for choosing and speccing this car as I have is that it will effectively double up as a business saloon (note badging and spoiler deletion) and be a weekend toy too. Since parting with my CSL and other track weapons some years ago I've missed the tracking opportunities and now the time is right to get back in the seat and try to rediscover the limited driving skills I once had ! I figured this car presents a great opportunity to tick both the daily and weekend boxes, if that makes sense!

Yep spot on. My Z4M coupe was Ruby Black and looked superb. I love the softness and subtlety of the BMW Individual black range. I hope Citrine will look as superb as Ruby did.

The extras list exceeds £20k <embarrassed> and a personal best for the sales guy at my dealer paperbag Needless to say I've struck a very good deal and combined with the 0% finance promotion it was too good an opportunity to live my dream to be passed by. So I went for it.

Pics of course when the thing arrives smile

Nice one ... It will be awesome. Check out the "Viper" alarm at sercuremycar.com as this will add that extra piece of mind to a great car. Just stumbled across it whilst doing my homework for an M3.

Sounds an awesome spec OP, with the ceramics and options like the B&O system should make an awesome everyday car with true fast road/track capabilities. Can't wait to see pics cool

Lovely, I've got a Ruby black Z4C with piano black and extended Amarone individual leather and love that combo, Citrine/platinium/piano black will be wonderful.

My Z4M Coupe was exactly as that, but with full Amarone leather, so where you have Piano I had leather. Looked superb!

Cheers for that. Is this still really an issue? I thought BMW had got to grips with this? I'll certainly be quizzing my dealer tomorrow to make surephone

Thanks all for the positive comments, I was actually expecting more "you're a complete cock" kinda thing, but then I remembered I wasn't posting in General Gassing laugh

Gyrock, were you a member of BM3W/MTorque?

If so I remember your Z4MC I bought my Z4C in that spec after seeing yours (if it was you)
