Newbie 2 Newbie

Post by Neilson » Sun Jul 29, 2018 11:54 pm

Hi all,
I want to introduce myself as I've been lurking in the shadows for little while now and wanted to say hello! ;)
I've already had some great advice from some of you on potential cars, and ended up with a BMW Z4MC, which was on sale at Sytner BMW.
Sapphire Black with individual Anthracite and kiwi leather with only 41,000 miles on the clock, but I'm already thinking of selling or trading it in!!!!
Shock, horror I know, but wait... I'm thinking of trading it in for another one!
Absolute madness I know, but initially I wanted a space grey one, but when I was told there were only 2, I then decided on a silver grey one with red interior. There were a couple around, but unfortunately they weren't for me.
So I'm enjoying my new car and then a Silver grey one comes up with caramel interior!!!
I know a few of you have seen it as there was a discussion on the 'M Watch' post. I also found it belonged to a forum member called Burnsy, who had the car for 5 years.
So at this stage I'm thinking about putting my car up for sale. I'll give it some thought and perhaps put an ad together, but I just wanted to test the water! 😉
This is an amazing forum, with great advice and really interesting posts, so a BIG THANKS from me!

Welcome - at last! :)

Yes, it does indeed look like the UK only got 2 Space Grey MCs! But 35 Silver Grey ones with red interiors, so you may stand half a chance of finding one of those!

But regardless of the colour you still have a fantastic car, so just enjoy it for now - and please share a photo or two with us. :)
Coupes because stunning!
Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
Gone - Montego Blue
Gone - Ruby Black

Thanks for the photos Neilson. :thumbsup:

To be honest I prefer the one you already have as that interior looks stunning (unlike Caramel) but it's your choice!

I know, it's a difficult choice. I've put a small deposit down on the silver one as really love the caramel interior, but I know what you mean by the bi coloured interior.
I looked on a site to see how rare your Z4M colour combos are, and it seems that both these cars are 1/2 recorded worldwide!
I know it's personal, but any reason why you're not so keen on the caramel?

If anyone's interested in seeing how rare their Z4M is, here's the link -

I'm sure you've all seen it before though! :)

I don't dislike caramel as such, but I just think it works better with black paint than with silver - but it's your call after all. :thumbsup:

If I ever get to look for an MC I'd be looking for Imola Red, Phoenix Yellow, Sepang or Interlagos Blue - I do like a colour!

Haha, perhaps that's the reason there's only 2 worldwide in this combo! :wink:
