Believe the unicorn was a roadster only one in Alpine white. From memory I think there was 18 m coupes in White.
Lovely car none the less!

Isn’t it always the same colour as the bumper? Mine is.

I thought they were all black! Never realised :thumbsup:

Or did you mean specifically Z4Ms?

EDIT: A quick look at cars for sale suggests they're all black.

Nice.
But needs an all-black grill imo.

Looking at Autotrader, it seems that body-coloured number plate carriers is specific to ///M cars.

No i didn't paint the reg plate mount - i thought they were all the same as the bumper, as for the grills - sorry Chris_D i swapped them from black to silver! :D - I like how they marry in with the CSL's.
I believe that 18 alpine whites did come into the UK, from looking at past Forum chats 1 was shipped out to NZ (it had the bicolour Silverstone which i think would have looked great with AW) and 1 was potentially written off, not sure though. Rare but not unicorn rare!

My M came with a black number plate mount, but rather than paint it I'd rather get rid of it!

There was a track-modified White MC at the last Black Swan Classic Car meet on 8 March - looks like I should have taken a photo of it! :roll:

I did this on my Sterling Grey E85. It looked so much better for it!

That’s odd, mine is definitely blue!
My Aus number plate is considerably smaller the number plate mount so, when I have time, I’ll remove it and get either a blue or black number plate.
