After looking for a while and missing out on a couple of good ones...bagged myself a nice 3.0Si last month.

2007 3.0Si Sport
Silver Grey with Amarone Individual, one of 11 apparently
47k on the clock, never failed an MOT...
Enthusiast owned, so roof motor sorted!

I have a few jobs to do on it, namely some paintwork, suspension (H&R springs, too low) and wheels (cannot make up my mind) as well as a brake upgrade...looking forward to getting stuck in. Had a Z4MC years ago, so all feels very familiar...the N52 is a total joy and the steering, nowhere near as bad as reports had led me to believe...

That's a lovely looking car & in a great combination .
Love the 2 tone wheels i suspect they have spacers behind , it sits very well 8)
As you point out RE the steering , i've never really got the criticism of it either :? in manual guise there is plenty of connection from car - driver , if you want a heavier feel on the wheel try running the front tyres on half pressure :P

Thank you! No spacers yet....bought some for it then changed my mind, thinking something with a lower ET instead? But the 108s are pretty classic, hence can't make up my mind. It's on H&R springs with M Sport dampers and rides surprisingly well IMO - but it is VERY low... scrapes here and there. I am thinking Bilstein B12 or STX Coilovers...

Love the interior. Lovely car.

I wish mine was red (or what ever colour they call it) rather than black.
 
Lovely colour combo but those wheels don’t do it justice imho. It’s not exactly unique but I think a nuce set of csl reps would do wonders for it. Agree on the ride height been on the low side too. Might be a better option to put some spring pads on rather than change the shocks?
 
That's a great looking Z4, and the interior looks fantastic with Amarone and Piano Black. :thumbsup:

And it's barely run-in at 47K. I fitted some E89 wheels to my 2nd Coupe as they have much lower ETs, but looking at your car you'd get rubbing on those H & R springs. :(
 
Welcome back to Z4 ownership, nice colour combo, I guess wheels are all a matter of personal taste but I like the ones that are on the car. At those miles tour car should drive well. Cheers
 
Great looking car with a perfectly matched interior and the wheels look brilliant too. You must be chuffed to bits. :thumbsup:

Thanks all!

Yeah I do like the 108”s and I do plan to change the suspension set up anyway - so maybe wheels can wait...
 
Also like the look,as said,Silver Grey with the Amarone red interior is a great combo.
I like the wheels,had exactly that same two tone colour on my 05 reg 3.0i back in 2007,as my winter wheels albeit. They still look good,but think that CSL style/oe would look great too.
Or,the multispoke ones that Rob has on his Red M....
Ispiri ffr6 I believe, as they look great on the Roadsters :thumbsup:
