Thank you. Still love your Stratus though . The fleet is going well Coupe in next week for some TLC on rear bumper and MOT.
The roadsters are both doing well. Z3 needs some age related love this year though.
Stratus was the initial colour I wanted on the Coupe, but could not find one at sensible money. So Titanium it was.
We'll dine on a cracking purchase bud.

Thanks! I figured I best make the most of the colour and the light! I was rewarded by the stunning sunrise and the way this paint behaves in the soft early morning sun. I'll have to do a midday and a sunset shoot just to get some comparisons.
I'm actually not planning on keeping the 135's on the car for long. I've got a new set of wheels sitting in my conservatory waiting for a dosing of Gtechniq C5 before I fit them (maybe this weekend) which will completely transform the look of the car. And I know purists are going to hate this, but they're aftermarket.

Intriguing! I look forward to seeing them! My coupe came fitted with a nice set of aftermarket Borbets ....they actually look OK to me but bought a set of 135s in the UK should I want to return to standard .....they are refurb black though.....another purist pet hate I suspect!!tee.gilding wrote: ↑Tue Jul 03, 2018 7:50 amThanks!

Stratus with Amarone must have been nice! Looks good on CSLs.

I had seen a Silver Grey with Amarone which I was going to have a look at but ended up going for this Stratus Grey instead. Black leather isn't anywhere near as nice as the Amarone is, but hey!mj2k wrote: ↑Thu Jul 05, 2018 8:13 pmIt was gorgeous.

The transformation has taken some fairly serious momentum.
19in Veemanns V-FS33s in hyper silver, wrapped in Kuhmos, with BC Racing BR RA coilovers for a proper ride height. I think they're a little low at the moment, but damn she looked good at Vanity yesterday!

And here's a stunning pic taken by forum member @Rally at the Vanity BMW show at Beaulieu yesterday, with his unmistakable Imola Z4MR in the background.

Love the wheels and nice to see it on coilovers. Got some serious reverse rake going on though so wind the rear up to match the front and it'll be perfect

That's the plan. When I had them fitted the mechanic just wound them as low as they would go to see how it sat. So now I know where to adjust it (rear end about 10-12mm, front just a half turn or so).
