That does look like a bit of a bargain compared to the others on the market just now - even if it needs a few quid invested in getting rid of that awful dash trim!
Coupes because stunning!

One thing to note, from the AT images however: she looks like, she's sat on a set of Yokohama AD08R tyres..
..Let's say, not necessarily an everyday tyre, but generally for more specific & 'energetic' use, compared to a normal road tyre.
Don't get me wrong, I've had AD08R tyres on a couple of cars and they're awesome, for track use
At that price, a new set of rubber boots wouldn't break the bank though..

I don’t mind the wheels, but the cream leather is pretty ugly IMO. It would be acceptable in an Imola ///MR, although even then I’d still prefer black. The aluminium dash trim is much more easily fixed if it’s not to your taste, but seats and door cards would be expensive.

Personal preference tho isn't it. For example personally I think the opposite, problem with the coupe generally is that its small, compact, dark and quite claustrophobic. That was the one criticism I had when I had my coupe, really don't like how dark and dingy it was. Black is classic but it accentuates all of those things, black on black I think its too much and its such a safe option in a car where options were limited. The aluminium doesn't offend but it doesn't ooze quality, but cream in a black car isn't something that is offensive quite the opposite its a classic combination and brightens up the interior imo.BMWZ4MC wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 1:19 am I don’t mind the wheels, but the cream leather is pretty ugly IMO.

If I was looking for another I would try and get anything but a black interior.
On the other hand black is safe, like I said you won't offend anyone and its easy to look after and probably easier to sell.
As these cars are quirky and niche anyway and options were limited I think cars that offer personality are more appealing.

Exactly, these things are always personal preference - a cream interior would put me off if there was an alternative comparable car available. Amarone would be my preference in a black car, or perhaps red at a push.
I’m not sure the interior of any Zed oozes quality, but none of the choices of dash panel offend, except perhaps wood!

The carbon leather (or extended leather) on the dash really lifts the quality of the interior, no idea why someone decided to spec aluminium

I'm with tomscott on black interiors - I generally prefer any other colour, especially in a Z4C with it's small cockpit and black headlining!
Luckily I've managed to find other colours in my Z4s.
But as has been said it's all personal preference.

SPOTTED on eBay

Not mine & nothing to do with me, but what a pure unadulterated - thing of beauty, in this colour for a Z4MC :
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Sepang- ... Swfh9fXVbn
I'm sure, this might provoke some words of wisdom, from the brethren within

Think it might have been advertised here before. Certainly seen it listed before.
The only blemish is the accident damage which although comprehensively described is still a blot on the copy book.
It does look amazing though and a great interior combination

Shame about the horrible colour, inside and out!
It’s overpriced for a previously written off 60k mile car, as evidenced by the length of time it has been for sale across various locations using the same advertisement. However, if I really wanted poo-brown, I’d give it some consideration.

Bronze seems to be the new white for the second decade of this century. I see half a dozen Evoques and Velars in that colour each day and a similar number of brown Porsche SUVs each week. I’m sure the owner of each thinks that they’ve made a bold, left-field decision that reflects how different they are from the majority. I’m afraid I just see poo

You are right, bronze & white are the fashionable colours, I'm still content with unfashionable Interlagos
