I think that purple is great - reminds me of the Cadburys Boost livery on the BSBs in the 90s.

Purple with grey seats and a manual gearbox would be great - on a Supra! :lol:

Now the management has pre approved I’ll wait until they’re out so I can go for a proper nosey :D
Exactly the same thing here, Gill was immediately sold on the colour. I may drop by the dealers this week :D

There's a 2 minute clip from Bogata on YouTube with a supposed facelift car. No idea if it's genuine or not, has the purple and green paint schemes, slight change to the front bumper.

I saved the link but I can't open it here for some reason, on a cheap ipad.

Is that the same purple as on the G42 ('Thundernight', I think)? My colour vision isn't up to much so I can't tell if they're the same from the picture, but had I gone for another 2-series instead of the Z4 it was definitely going to be in the running!

Here’s a very detailed rundown of the lci with lots of pics.

Summary: 3 new colours, shadowline headlights, new alloys, six speed manual (maybe only for 20i models?) and M Sport as standard.

Cheers for that BeardyJon, great to see lots of different shots in what can only be described in an absolutely STUNNING colour :wub: it highlights the shape, lines everything :thumbsup:

There’s even a grey for john-e89, so he’ll be happy :poke: :rofl:

    30i model being dropped from the UK lineup, seems a strange choice considering its going to be the same packaging for the 20i and RHD, so hasn't been done for any technical reason.

    Guessing with the 20i and 30i having the exact same engine you could just remap it to get the equivalent 30i power out of it.

    I’m obsessed with the purple colour though. Looks so sick. Need to see the other new colours too. Bit of a shame its not got many more colour choices though. Really think it would look great in Isle of Man Green. Portimao Blue should look good too.

    I do like the new alloys. The purple is also stunning, but not sure it’s for me as a daily. I’ll need to see it in the flesh.

    The new colours may convince me to get a new one in a couple years and get the final run of z4 cars. The only snag is the cost of these cars is going up. I imagine the LCI will be 60k specced up and interest rates will make the new car far more expensive for people who finance. The 2.9% that I got is long gone and I imagine it will be around 6-7% which means payments will be much much higher.

    My car is under a year old. Can’t justify making the change now. Would literally be throwing away thousands!

    It’s the one thing I’m not sure on - don’t know if I like the silver lip as I think that car has the shadowline pack and if it has wheels should be all black. There’s also a random ///M badge in the wheel barrel somewhere.

    The purple, daily or not is the colour :poke: :wink:

      New front bumper.....check :thumbsup:
      New colours....hopefully check, obvs not purple.... :P :thumbsup:
      New wheels.....jury out....might look better in silver and anthracite etc,
      No mention of the deal breaking manual in the M40i....jury out

      At £60 if they do a manual I'm in, car looks epic, although that's a hefty lump towards a pig GTS 4.0....and the problem is both will probably be finished as a combustion engine by 2025....

      Just have to save like mad for one of each..... :lol:

      Cheers for the heads up john-e89, I've just ordered the entire build run at that price and put a deposit down on a Caribbean island. :rofl:
