nfbr's 2007 Ruby Black Z4 Coupé! Blog/Build-Thread
Posted: Wed Dec 03, 2014 12:41 am
So, having had no car for 3 weeks and having planned to have no car for anything upto 6 months, temptation got the better of me! This evening I have put down a large deposit on what in two days will be my first BMW!
A really nice Z4 Coupé Step-Auto in what at this point I think is Ruby Black (could be wrong but it seems to have undertones of oxblood red in certain light), with Cream leather interior and Extended leather.
Edit- just checked the vin! Definitely Ruby Black
Really excited about picking this car up in the next couple of days and think it's probably going to take a fair bit of time and discipline to get used to. It's a very different car to anything I've had before!
