Z4 3.0si Coupe.
Sepang Bronze ftw..
Don't get me wrong, BMW's Stratus grey is many colours in one, depending on where you're sitting and -besides the sepang one which is a unicorn- I chose it over everything else. That involved a lot of waiting..
Montego blue is also brilliant, my E46 is and adore it.
As above, don't get too picky, tons of info in the forum, take your time as you say.
hope you find the one!!

Thanks, I'm hoping I can keep it but we'll see.
I think the wheels you're after are style 108. Just be aware they're prone to corrosion.
Prices seem to have dropped a fair bit in the last 18 months or so, you're looking at a good time. Just be patient and you'll find a great car

Some good advice there.
Assuming the 5 spoke wheels you mention are the split-rim ones they are indeed 108s, but as Thierry has pointed out they are prone to corrosion around the heads of the bolts that hold the 2 parts together. This lifts the lacquer and gets to look pretty horrible.
Refurbishment requires the rims to be split, which usually results in some sheared bolts and/or stripped threads so can get expensive very quickly!
Which is why I sold mine while they were still in good condition (a previous owner had them refurbed) after buying some E89 5 spoke wheels that didn't have the split rims (style 295).
Anyway good luck with your quest.
Coupes because stunning!

Thanks. Montego blue with grey 108's would be dreamworld. Happy to compromise a bit thoughDOOM wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 9:13 pm Sepang Bronze ftw..

Just realised that I never updated this. I finally found my perfect spec!
Didn’t know this interior was an option but so glad it is. I love it.
Thanks for all the advice.

Hi
I’m not sure of the name of the interior. I’m calling it Bordeaux. You had the same interior?
Not a forum car. Very well looked after though with the past few years maintainence carried out by Munich Legends.
Yes, it was based in South West London.

That definitely looks like Ammarone leather - it was an Individual option.
Looks fantastic too!

Hi Tom,bean79 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 21, 2018 8:42 pm Hi all
After narrowing down options I have decided that the 3.0si is the one for me.
I'm a little confused about spec options. Definitely want manual and would really like heated seats. Is there anything else that you think is desirable?
Searched in all the normal places but nothing is quite ticking all the boxes. Also, I would prefer to buy from an enthusiast.
This will be a second car so I'm in no rush, and will wait for the right example. Not looking for a garage queen but would like it to be in good condition and under 80k miles.
Full service history and evidence that it has been looked after are a must.
Thinking silver, grey and blue compliment the shape best but open minded.
Hope that doesn't come across as too much. Would love to hear from you if you have a something that matches my criteria that you are thinking about selling.
Thanks
Tom
How is the search going?
I’m going to be parting with my black coupe in a few weeks. I haven’t put an advert up for it yet but a quick outline for you Regards it spec. Heated seat, xenon headlights, sat nav, iso fix (so airbag isolation), cruise control and probably missed something. It’s done 53k Miles and I’ve had it just under 2 years and have done 3k Miles in it. It sits in the garage on a battery charger when I’m not using it. I just don’t drive it enough anymore with changes in jobs to warrant keeping it.
If you’re interested, let me know. Happy to chat about the car!
Thanks
Joe

Thanks! I will sort plate and re post!
Love the wheels on yours. Have you changed them since then? Sure I saw you selling them.
I’m after the m wheels but concerned about rubbing. Is it correct that I just need to put the correct tyre profile on for the 3.0si to avoid that?
