Hi, new z4 owner

Post by Sirrith » Tue Jan 15, 2019 9:39 am

Hi everyone, just bought my first car, a '09 23i in black and in great condition, 80k kms on the clock. Just took it to the shop to have the entire interior redone in red (I wanted white exterior with red interior, but none in good condition to be found, if I can't have the white exterior I'm at least going to have a red interior!).

Looking forward to being a part of this community, and I'm going to need advice on wheels soon!

Thanks! I went with what in my mind appeared closest to the factory bmw red, because I really like how that looks with the z4. But I did get a custom pattern for the seats and will be more than happy to share pics when it's done :D

Only a matter of time... :)

I'm due to pick it up on the weekend, pics will follow, promise! Unfortunately I don't have any of the stock black interior, but maybe the leather shop will have taken some for their own use.
