Job done

The choice of colours on a g29 is a tad disappointing IMO. I was all ready to go with Thundernight until I saw it in the flesh, similarly Skyscraper Grey didn’t do it for me at all, very boring.

I ended up with Sapphire Black with Ivory interior, sounds a bit bling but isn’t that what z4s are all about? Looks stunning with the top down 8)

Got a phone call this morning , telling me the car is ready to pick up in the late afternoon..
Sales guy was well organised , completed the paperwork and on our way with a complementary BMW cap and brolly, it was persisting down by the time we left so good shout with the brolly
Got the car home and tucked up in the garage next to the radiator , champion :D

Yeah, getting the hood down would be great, I have the car at work today and its sunny but cold, so its a possibility on the way home.

Go for it ! That's what the heated seats and steering wheel are for. And the main heaters are ferocious when cranked to max :-)

Could some one answer a quick question for me, so I picked the car up yesterday and noticed the hood would creak a little now and again depending on the road surface, it came from behind the seats, I just wondered if this was normal in cold weather, (and something they all do sir) or should I get it checked out at the dealers.
Thanks in advance.

This garage isn’t a patch on my last one, it was 7.5 m2 with a room above, but we have downsized now , this house was a self build so I chose to have an integral garage, so nice to drive into then right in the house.

A good call on the garage dimensions - my house was built with a double garage but there is a pillar at the entrance and it supports a lintel - there’s no sensible modification available

The Z fits in with about 60mm / side clearance over the mirrors !

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Not noticed anything like that in the two g29s that I have owned.

Sounds like a squirt of WD40 in the right place would be sufficient! :)
