Hi all, this is my second time round of e85 z4 ownership with the same colour and engine size both times (grey, 2.5) however this time it’s the SI facelift variant .... did own a Phoenix yellow e46 m3 coupe in between but needed to release a few £££s for home improvements
Previous owner did put it on bbs reps which are growing on me but still looking to swap them out for something a little more oem like csl’s or tiger claws .... also appears to be lower than my first one as it bottoms on my driveway which the old one didn’t!
Slowly started changing a few things, tinted it all round and changed the SI gearknob for a weighted ‘stubby’ leather one

Welcome back. 
Your PY M3 looks fantastic too. But it's no good worrying about values of cars you used to own - just be grateful that you had them!
Otherwise I'd still be in the MK2 Escort RS2000 I sold for £2,500 in 1981.

If you have the msport steering wheel and msport seats then you’ll probably have the Sport model which is wh6 it’s lower than your old 2.5 which would have been a SE.

Potentially ... it does have the all black m wheel so that would make sense
