First wash for the M40i

Post by Wyldie85 » Sun Oct 20, 2019 8:48 pm

So I washed the Zed for the first time today. There’s a couple of fallout marks on the paint and a few swirls from the dealer but it’s being paint corrected and ceramic coated soon, so not the end of the world.
The wheels are quite intricate and fiddly to clean but the rest was easy and it came up very shiny. I love it already.

These are growing on me.
I like the colour, but for me would look good with a tan leather interior

Nice work, it shows the red off very nicely.

I think these are the best BMW wheels in a long while, and suit the Z4 perfectly too!

Can't get on with the front of these, but the rest of the car is styled nicely. It's something to do with the headlights and kidney grilles. Looks so odd, almost like the car has a permanent startled expression :lol:

Yeah the G series Z4 finally grew on me. I dig them now!

I can only imagine these new ones on lowered coilover and nicer wheels.. :oops:

The red really suits the new zed. Currently looking to order a new M40i, although I find that there isn't a great deal of choice in colours. So red is currently grabbing my attention with the cognac interior which really finishes it off for me :)
