Looks fantastic! Sapphire black? 6th zed! You're in the Mr Wilks club of ridiculous amount of z4s owned! I'm still a rookie at 2...
I'm still pinching myself over mine, have to keep looking out the window to see if it's actually on the drive and I didn't dream it! Can't wait for the week to be over so I can drive it some more! Enjoy mate.
Currently zedless :(

Cheers muchly chaps.. :thumbsup:

Bit of an impulse buy tbh, I was going for a 3.0si, I'd been keeping half an eye on this as well and just thought the hell with it, I've always regretted selling my previous M, life's too short...etc, etc... :roll:

It's on 33k with all the services correct, running in service @ 1,100, its in fantastic nick, I'm so pleased with it. Keeper or not I'm not sure, I've got this rumbling at the back of my mind that if my lung recovers and I get back to full time work I'll sell everything and go for a used Porker 981, but this M is in such good nick, no intro needed to those that know them, it'll be very hard to move it on, we won't see the likes of things like this again so I might have to reconsider my plan and keep it long term. I really like the concept, taking the engine and running gear from a 4 seater and shoe horning it into a fairly small roadster, so who knows, but for now I'm so so pleased with it, I'm just going to enjoy it and not think too much about anything else for a while. :D

And no, the oxygen pump is an accessory..... :lol:

Lovely car!

Always find it a bit strange when people say 'we won't see the like of this car again'....I'd be massively surprised is there wasn't an M version of the new roadster with the M2 engine in it. Not creating one for the 89 was a huge miss for the brand.
