Clearly we're herd animals :)
There's more in the office garage, at least one or two more Z4s, and two Z3s (both 3ltr versions!) hanging around.
Maybe we need to start an internal company Z club! :D

Second pic, first car, quad exhaust with Alpina turbine wheels. Does look like he has a non-M bonnet though.

I don't think it's an M somehow as it doesn't have an M front bumper either!

Probably a pre-facelift with Alpina wheels and a quad exhaust as that looks like Sterling Grey paint which wasn't offered on facelifts - still looks good though.

Most certainly a pre-facelift judging by the foglights and the rear light cluster with the divider.
Car is throwing me off a bit though, as outside of modding (and the owner doesn't seem like the type), as far as I know the only quad exhaust Z4s where ///M cars?

BMW only fitted quad pipes to Ms, but quite a few people have fitted quads to non-Ms!

And given the Alpina wheels maybe the owner does like modding despite appearances. :lol:

I'll need to ask him. Seems like a straight arrow, suited up banker type (I work for a bank).

If anything I need to see if we can all get together for a group shot :)

Ah yes...those household names! :poke: :lol: :lol:

If we are name dropping, my clients are Air France, KLM and the largest independent chocolate manufacturer in the world. I never wear a suit and am still a tw*t! They love me for it :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
