Hi All,

First thread in a long time!

Been around for a few years, this is my second Z4M first one was a silver grey Z4M coupe. Can see a few images of it here:
https://flic.kr/s/aHsmnhsYKm

I sold it to go traveling and always regretted it and found myself going the opposite direction to most and bought this rare imola on imola Z4M roadster just over a year ago. This ones a 2 owner and was owned by a couple of friends I know from the forum and always fancied it, when it came up I had to buy it.

Ive had it just over a year and in that time have done a few bits and pieces mainly mechanical getting it up to scratch as it was feeling its age. Cosmetically I've put on a set of OE CSL alloys that I kept from my old Z4M and bought an OE strut brace.

I work as a photographer and have been desperate to get out with it but just haven't really had chance so was nice to get out! I went to Tatton Park and typically I got there and it absolutely threw it down and I forgot my polariser. On the positive side I was greeted by a huge heard of red deer which was nice!

There was some lovely light and created the effect by throwing leafs infront of the camera and shooting wide open low down to try and get as much lens flare as possible, not to everyones taste but for my own work I think it adds a nice warm aesthetic to the images.

The colour is just πŸ‘ŒπŸ» really love Imola ❀️ especially at this time of the year.

Still needs a bit of work, mechanicals are mostly sorted next step is to concentrate on the paintwork, needs a full paint correction and really the wings bumper and bonnet need to be resprayed but want to see how well it scrubs up first. I would like remove the wrap (as it looks a bit 2000's go faster to me and its been on 10 years and doesn't look great up close) and to fit the recently purchased aero skirts and extended leather. I also have a stainless steel exhaust and X pipe that came with the car, I may put on at some point but its a custom exhaust and I've no idea what it sounds like.

Anyway nice to be back into the swing of things and hope to start making more regular content on the car. Hope you like the pics!

Great photos Tom. :thumbsup:

My ideal MC would be Imola with Sepang leather, but at least my SG one has Imola seats!
 
Lovely Tom. Imola with CSL’s is always a good look. Great photos and really capturing the autumnal feel there.
 
As always superb photos Tom. 8) :thumbsup: The perfect Z4 for an evening drive to check out the sun set. :D

Thanks mr Tidy :thumbsup: My ideal M coupe would be Silver Grey with Imola just like your lovely example! As I've already had a coupe and now a roadster I think the next car will move away from the Z4.

Looks great in the pics but you say it needs this and that?

Thanks Stevo, ye its one of those... 14 year old car always needs something sorting and has been driven as intended so up close it is covered in little chips. Hoping the DA will pull some of this out as my 996 4S was the same and it did a fabulous job only issue is BMW paint of this era is much harder so will see.
