Black E89 09/59 plate. Ex BMW car with YR I think. Looked like they had also changed the indicators to the facelift ones. Guy, short black hair, shades. Roof down :thumbsup: at the bottom of St Mary Street in Edinburgh at 9:50ish this morning. I was going to give you a wee thumbs up as I went but you might think I was mental. I was driving the blue R32 GTR with gold wheels which turned up onto St Mary's Street.

Not many acknowledge other zed drivers - if you do give a wave and they don't respond you feel like a right plonka!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Oh and not me but a conversation with my folks who've just returned from Thailand and they said where they were staying, nearby there was a white Z4 E89. I wonder if it was ThaiZ4

Went to Sainsbury's in Pimlico today, did my shopping and came back to the car park to find this next to my Alpina. I confess to parking next to other Zeds whenever possible too :D

Anyone on here? I believe it was an sDrive 23i

I was traveling clockwise between the M4 & M1 junctions, a 15 plate with the top down. I remember it because It'd not been an hour since taking delivery, it was the first Z4 I saw as an owner & it was the same colour as mine :rofl:
