New member thinking of buying a yellow z4

Thinking buying a 2011 yellow 3,0ltr looks overpriced at £20k but I love yellow cars
How rare are these cars?
Should I stay away ?
Your thoughts and comments much appreciated

If it’s a 3.0l - no matter how well specced , it sounds a bit pricey to me!

It’s quite likely to be this one https://usedcars.bmw.co.uk/vehicle/2017 ... 27e740e37a. Age, colour and price match. Quite unusual, can’t say I’ve seen another E89 in this colour.

I’ve never seen a yellow Z4 before but I really like that! Not convinced by the interior colour, hopefully that’s just the camera making it look cheese colour. Would be better if it was proper yellow inside too but it wouldn’t put me off.

I think yellow is a really bold colour for a Z4 - it certainly makes a statement!
Had a car been available when I ordered mine at the end of 2016 I would have considered one in yellow.

Atacama yellow , quite possibly the only colour that looks just as bad in pics as it does in the real :cry: a lady near me has one. , it’s rancid & nothing like phoenix yellow
If you do buy op I suspect a long process to shift it when you want rid

I would say it’s a Marmite colour - love it or hate it!

I deeply upset at how anyone can say that Atacama Yellow Z4s are not the most beautiful cars on earth..... :rofl:

BMW main dealer is always going to charge a premium....being a sad bunny I have tracked all Atacama Yellow Z4s for a year...you could have had a private one same spec 3.5is for £16,500 a few weeks ago...

On an unstatiistical basis I have found that my Atacama Yellow Z4 has induced more ladies into chatting with me than my white Volvo XC70.... :thumbsup:

It also has no spec at all apart from the interior colour combo.

It shows a cubby on the dash, no sat nav so maybe not the High Spec it boasts!
