Nice car and great colour.
Do you know the car has an electronic dipstick? Wasn't sure if that was sarcasm.
Funny enough I've seen a few coupes round here recently.
Any photos to show off your pride and joy?

Where are you based? I haven't used mine much this year but try and get out in it at least once every two weeks. Assuming I can resist the temptation to go out and thrash the MX-5 that I bought recently

Oh they are such fun little things. Sold my sons the other day. Sad to see it go. We still have Mrs G's though.
As for Z4 Coupes Jamezee..
I spotted three in one trip to mid Cornwall and back last Saturday. Spotted even more Roadsters though. Common as muck around here when the son comes out. No G29's though still too pricey for these parts.

A Montego Blue Coupe is a great car!
We had a local meet a couple of weeks ago with 8 Z4s present and 5 of them were Coupes.
You just need to be in the right place at the right time.

Coupes because stunning!

Thanks for your replies, It seems there is a bit of a pattern re coupe ownership, I noticed when i was searching for one that most were in the southern climes I am up in the Peak district.

Hey welcome to coupe ownership, love mine! Done nearly 45k in the last 5 years ownership. How much was the rocker gasket to do? And your new fog lights

I'm not so sure! Admittedly I found my 1st one in Portsmouth, but my 2nd was in Rugby and my 3rd was in Rutland.
I think they all just seem far away whenever you happen to be looking for one, regardless of where you are.

Closely followed by a round of 'where's the dipstick'. I picked my car up one evening, by the time I was home it was dark. I spent 30 mins looking for the dipstick to check the oil level!Benderloch wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 9:02 am One more thing....where the hell is the spare wheel
