My G29 M40i

Post by raven » Sat Feb 22, 2020 12:54 pm

Hi All,

Registered today because i saw the photocompetition and wanted to join in :)
Using my Z4 as a daily driver, its my first convertible car ever and i took delivery just before winter, so i'm hoping for some nicer weather soon :-)
Looking forward to seeing what other people are doing with their cars :-)

thanks below are some pictures of my car.

I wish i came here before buying it, would have probable saved me a lot of trouble trying to figure things out :-)
I was a bit nervous buying the car, thinking it would be a pain to maintain and keep clean with the soft top, but so far its turning out great, the car stayed outside all winter and it still looks amazing :)

Hi welcome to the forum, your car looks great. That doesn't look like a colour BMW offer, is it a wrap?

Thanks, it's a wrap yes, sadly bmw original colors were a little limited on the Z, the original colour is black.

For now its just the color, and im working on a storage box for the trunk where i can keep my stuff, so it doesnt bounce around all over the trunk :)

Would love to make the exhaust a little louder and get a little more performance out of it, but im still looking into what is possible here :)
Lowering it is not an option at this point, i alreqady have problems entering my street, we have inanely high speed bumps :)

Very nice ride - I love pearlescent colours & the way they change in the light can be stunning.

IMO the darker colours favour the G29 - certainly gets a :thumbsup: from this E86 member

Thanks, i love how it looks different every time i look at it, some of the colours come out totally different on a photograph compared to reality.
I like all colours for the G29, as long as they have the M front bumper, the ones with the gap in the middle look a little weird to me (especially with the lighter coulours in that case) :-)

Welcome to the forum. Another who loves the colour. 8) :thumbsup:

I soooo wanted a Primera GT in that colour when I was much younger. I Blame Matt Neil, if you know who that is. :driving:

I'd blame Matt Neal, who was and still is an arrogant tw*t who has always thought he was more talented than he really is. :lol:
