My Z4M is back on the road! Looking like new again
Hi,
Finally my Z4 M Roadster is back on the road! It suffered a couple of parking scrapes in the works car park at the end of last summer, as well as the usual stone chips and various marks from 11 years on the road. I took it off the road for the winter and I eventually made the decision to take it to the best paint shop in the area for a complete refurbish.
That included respray to front and rear bumpers, skirts, doors and rear wings as well as a complete detail to the rest of the car. It now looks absolutely stunning. They've done a fantastic job it looks brand new again and completely factory looking.
Unfortunately as soon as I picked up the car, the sun disappeared, but here are a few photos of it, at an overcast seaside!

Thanks, yes, I now have a 13 mile round trip on my mountain bike to work each day as I refuse to leave either of my cars in the car park near work!

Yes, a stunning car in what would be a stunning setting if the sun hadn't gone missing.
Looking forward to seeing a photo in the sun.
BTW maybe you need to change the photo in your signature now you have your plate on!

That is long term ownership.
I've never had a house that long, never mind a car!

I haven’t owned it that long actually. I sold it in late 2011 to a friend of a friend as I was looking to buy a house. I bought the house and 6 years went by, many cars came and went and one day I decided I might quite like a Z4M again, as I was selling my 987 Cayman S. So I looked on Autotradrer, and there it was, my old Z4M. Same owner, so I got the train up to London and bought it back straight away! That was about a year ago.
