Newbie from East Kent - Z4 Coupe

Post by Ottinge Z4 » Fri May 17, 2019 6:28 pm

I've loved the shape of the Z4 Coupe ever since it first came out so it was a real struggle when a pristine example turned up turned up at my local main dealer in 2017 - I lost, of course, and it's kept a smile on my face ever since! The car is a 3.0Si Coupe in white, with M Sport seats, suspension and steering wheel, black leather and black piano trim but otherwise unmolested. Only 47k miles when I bought it, up to 54k now and an absolute blast to drive. No long trips yet apart from a couple of runs to Goodwood but that will change next month with a road trip to the Dolomites - can't wait!

Welcome along, lovely looking coupé there. Don’t see many white ones about. Quite a few members in Kent and surrounding areas so keep an eye out for Sunday drives.

Hi and welcome to the forum - and the exclusive Coupe club (at last). :thumbsup:

White ones are pretty rare too, but you really need to go and use it more - your discs in the 2nd photo look a bit rusty!

Hi all,
Many thanks for the welcome, it is a brilliant car and I haven't seen another white one, which adds to the attraction. English/Welsh meet looks great but it's the day before we head off to Italy so I'd better not... Knew someone would pick up on the discs! The photos were taken just after I got it and it had been sitting in the dealer's yard for a couple of weeks - no rust on them now! Internal photos soon. Always up for any meets or drives so I'll keep an eye on what's coming up.

My mention of your discs was a bit tongue in cheek to be fair - mine often look like that too as I only do about 4,000 miles a year in it. :roll:

You won't see many white ones about as according to the database a forum member put together only 7 white Coupes with black leather and Piano black trim were ever registered in the UK! Here's a link to it if you ever have some time to kill! :lol: http://perso.numericable.fr/tonyz4c/index30si.html

It sounds like you've got a great trip lined up - enjoy. :thumbsup:
