I think this is my favourite looking Z4 ever. Lovely colour, I think the wheels suit it and the leather goes well with the exterior colour.

That is all really, it's just a boring Saturday night in.

I don't like the wheels, don't like light coloured interiors, and I prefer them in silver.

Other than that I'm in complete agreement with you. tongue out

Haha, well screw you smash

Grey is my favourite colour, not that I'm biased but I do think the above looks quite 'fresh'.

It does; and it's a great photo. Agree about grey - probably the most popular choice.

I think the photo makes it look quite 'new shape' actually, quite eye catching.

I think it is universally agreed that the grey colour best shows off the 'bangle curves' which is why it was so popular. I did want a black with red leather but the grey came up well spec'd - not sure if I regret it or not.

I bet the above has a terrible ride with those wheel/tyre combo.

My 3.0Z4 is black with beige leather,I love it.Those M6 replica wheels look good on Z4's,but not easy to get the staggered fitment as the rims front & rear end up the same width.

I gather you love your Zed? wink

I do too. Although not so much in this weather as I pride myself on not letting the TC light flash at me. Not that easy unfortunately.

It's good to see this pic, as makes me think that the new shape one is a little bit too Hyundi and not enough BMW in it.

There's no real definition in the current Z4, whereas the old one looks great I think, you would not even have said having seen neither the old or new edition that they came out in the shape order they have.

That's one great looking car.

I'd have spent the money replacing those wheels first!

Ah, OK, fair enough.

I just don't like seeing Z4s running on anything but the 224s from the M or CSLs. The M6 reps can look OK on one/two colours, but on some it just looks tacky.

The split rims are nasty - first thing I did when I got mine was to source some M wheels.

18" 108's for a Z4 Mate :P

Red interior, looks so pants, show up the marks, fade, and a little to trying to look bling and failing imo.

Personally, can't beat the Sterling Grey, with Black Interior..that's what I have, theres a surprise :P

Had 108s on mine originally, but the corrosion problem is too bad.

There's a balance to be had on wheel size, I think.

They were already corroded when I bought the car and I'd read of too many people on Z4F having to refurb them every 12-18 months even with decent care, so switching them to Z4M alloys was one of the first things I did to the car.
