For once, I'm with you bmwaddict :thumbsup:
Ruby Black - a common colour, it's said :o
Glad I don't have a Black Sapphire or Interlagos Blue :wink:
Seemingly the 4th rarest colour and not good enough :? (I.E. Ruby Black)
No dramas and, it is what it is..

Oh look it's Mr 1 of 2 midnight blue roadsters just to top it off! I feel great now! Thanks mate! :rofl:
I missed out on one of the 10 Sepang M coupes, I believe ShaunKC bought it, but I'm over the moon with my Ruby Black after 2 Sapphire black BMW's, despite it being common as muck!

I know, just having a laugh, I really do love the colour of mine although the front end needs a respray due to awful stonechips everywhere, and some clear coat damage. The way it drives puts a smile on my face every time still!

silver is rare because its just a boring shite colour. lol! I'm sure their was about 60 silver ones....

it does however suit the design of the z4, its still boring a f**k tho, especially for an ///M car!....
