Here are a few more dealer photos that were loaded onto my website earlier: http://www.dewisant-photography.net/y_ogb_BMW%20Z4..htm Quite looking forward to getting it home and starting on the fettling.

Did you spot a white e89 further down the street when you went to see it by any chance? :D

Love a unique Zed - don't think I've seen another yellow E85 - great find! :thumbsup:

No, I had eyes only for "Daffodil" - it's what I'll be calling her once we're betrothed :rofl:

I never noticed the E89, My lad was with me too - he has eyes like a sh*t house rat so if it had been there I'm sure he'd have spotted it. I gather you live local to Richtoy then? Nice little village is Winterton.

Was that a standard / factory colour?

Looks great! The 2.5si will have black-backed headlights too, which should go pretty well with those wheels (and maybe a gloss black grille?!). Don't like the chip guard though - looks like half of a giant fake moustache.

Still waiting for the reg to be swapped over, I'm off to Hereford to visit an old pal this week but if I've still not heard when I get back I think I'll tell the dealer I'll take it with the private reg and sort the insurance when it's swapped over. He said it would take two weeks but from what I've read it can take up to 6 and I don't fancy waiting that long

Looking at the name of the shop in the back, I think you overpaid it! :poke:
Just kidding, nice looking Zed!

Had to come back for another look. Loving this Zed. Including the chip guards. They compliment the gorgeous Yellow, as do the dark wheels. 8)
