What are you treating your Zed to for Christmas this year?

[Silverstar]

If you haven’t got cruise, air con, leather and auto it ain’t a car plus heated seats I think

When it comes to cars like BMW Mercedes etc, I second that. Down the road from me a used car dealer has just got in a Sdrive18i and it so basic it changes the complete character of the car, it doesn't have leather, sports seats, idrive, heated seats, cruise amongst many other things and it just doesn't feel like a premium car. It's poverty spec redefined! It does though have a wind deflector LOL.

I know others disagree but my pet theory on why some E89s can’t be shifted is that people want the toys and aren’t willing to lowball on spec even if it means it’s cheap..

This is 100% correct, when I was dealing in cars no one in the trade myself included would buy a BMW Mercedes etc unless it had good spec some would buy poverty spec but only if it was extremely dirt cheap. Premium cars without spec are just that bit harder to shift. When I was looking for my Z4 if it didn't have leather, sports seats, folding mirrors, heated seats, cruise, parking sensors and idrive I wouldn't look at it. Where I am now though in Spain buyers seem less fussy and most cars even premium ones are very poorly specced, just like this 18i near me.

Your car is looking lovely OP. For me I think it will be a new intercooler, and possibly some carbon fibre pieces!

Yep my new intercooler is on its way...

Hopefully I can treat her to a good old ragging.

That'll be the wifes christmas present

Can't you do something? A cover maybe ... to keep the Zed police at bay

covers are a bad idea outside, they hold condensation and can mark paint if they are blowing around in the wind for days on end.

They look great compared to most eBay tat

Cheers Pbondar- Yeah currently have ebay tat in the zed at the moment and bugs me each time I get in - looks like i have same interior as you with the yellow and black with yellow stitching on suede so have ordered black with yellow stitching so should look much better and tie in with the interior- The quality is really good and don't smell like a durex factory like the cheapo set I've had before -have to wait till Christmas b4 they can go in though

Could you send me the url of the version you refer too pls?

Here you go -if you use Code CUFB10 you get 10%off too

Oh. I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip

You can buy collapsible garages that fold up like a tent. You drive into the base then just pull the frame up over your car. Sure you can find one via the old google.

It will be a cold & lonely Xmas for my Z, hibernating in her nest, with no visits from Santa

CMFB10

Do they get "slippery" when wet, or still grippy?
