Lovely car and really nice touch from the dealer :D


The BMW dealers do make those videos as I am in the process of buying a used 35i and the salesman did a similar video which is a nice touch :thumbsup:
 
Indeed. I had a couple done when I was looking at the M4, but to go outside specially and do a couple just after the car has arrived (without being prompted) in the wet was a nice touch. I'm trying to cut myself down to only watching 5 times a day now :D

Btw. Do I manage the first 15 plate pictures on the forum ? Lol.

Beautiful car Andy 8) bet you can't wait.. Do the 35IS not have the silver mirrors or did you change that ? Roll on March :thumbsup:
It's a VO or Pure Traction thing (it's unclear in the literature I've read which)

Both go hand in hand but the silver mirrors would look rather odd, even more so than usual on this colour combination. However considering it's only the 35is that has the different coloured mirrors I would assume it's a VO thing otherwise they'd possibly have to add them to the other VO E89s in smaller engine variants if it was due to the pure traction interior.

I love it :thumbsup: owned mines a year past Sunday there and it still fills me with excitement and I smile from ear to ear every time I drive it.
 
Got my new 35is in November, but as I'm one of those sad people who only use their Z in the summer months 8) it will stay in the garage tucked up for a few more weeks yet, I did manage a couple of short runs when I first got it, so I've had it 3 months and its done 150 miles, but the waiting to start using it with the roof down is killing me just the same.

Exactly right with the 15 plate.

Here she is http://video.citnow.com/vtfD_x2J_xw

Nice one Andy! I collected mine last July, I couldn't wait until the end of August for the new plate.

I got mine from Sytner Nottingham, they sent me a similar video when it was ready.
 
Winter driving was part of the logic of getting a March car. Nov to Feb I use the Z4 much less so elected to sell the previous 35i in November and wait until the thick of the winter had passed. This also worked out very well financially.

This car was not anticipated to reach the dealer for another couple of weeks yet, so what I thought was going to be 2 weeks to wait has turned into 5. But on the bright side it's almost February and that will fly by.

30 days, 39 minutes...
 
That is a lovely looking car, I really like the contrasting roof.

Don't forget to tell them NOT to stick a sticker in the rear window!!

Thankyou, glad people seem to like it. The decision to go with the black roof took a few days and I'm sure gave me a few more grey hairs. That video is still the closest I've actually come to seeing a VO with contrasting roof in real life.

Not the end of the world on the sticker, but a good point. :thumbsup: They are a pain to get out and clean the mark that's left.
 
Your car looks terrific.

I love the contrast roof effect as well, quite popular on new cars now.

White spirit usually helps removing sticker glue.
