Saying a fond farewell to Victor... And a hello to Victor two point ohh
Well this morning I finally, after several months of failed attempts and checking my options, i traded my lovely z3 for what I hope will be just as lovely z4 e89.
I know you guys like pics, as I have hung around here for a bit. So here you go. If you like pic feel free to follow my Instagram link below..
Hope to see you at a meet soon.

nice trade up - skipped a generation! must feel completely different compared to the Z3 - i had a 2.2i and loved it. Felt so raw - albeit a bit primitive - one thing i don't miss is that plastic rear window - must have tried every compound under the sun and it was still cloudier than a dirty pint of cider!

It depends on where you go, it seems to vary between £400-£500 unless you flash it yourself (mhd?)
You May get it cheaper without the dyno runs before/after, but that takes away some of the fun of finding out how much your car’s been improved

We had a z3 previously as well & there are similarities-particularly the clamshell design bonnet which does away with traditional style front wings.

Your right, there are similarities. It looks like they have taken quite a few design ques from the previous z3 gen like the side indicator position mimicking the position of the gills. and the boot is more akin to the z3 boot than the e85 boot. I hope I enjoy looking at this one as much as I enjoyed looking at the z3.

That colour really seems to suit the E89 - lovely!
I imagine it'll be a totally different experience to your Z3!

Have to agree - that is a fantastic colour. Congrats on the E89 . Looking forward to getting mine so much (still at the other end of the country).
