Well put a deposit down at least, can't complete the sale until the insurance payment comes from my old Z but I'm happy again and excited!

She's a ruby black 3.0 si roadster... What a colour! Never seen it in the flesh until I went to look at this and was blown away in today's sun looks like a custom paint job not a standard factory finish.

Got pretty much all the kit I wanted too //M electric heated seats, //M mf steering wheel. //M alloys (mv2 18") factory sat nav (think maybe with a dice mediabridge) as it has Bluetooth handsfree and ipod integration even has the thingy that let's you open the roof with the key. The guy I've bought it off has had it for the last 5 years and assumed all the features were standard but I'm guessing there's some extras added by the prev owner.

Only thing it's missing is cruise control and the wind deflector but I managed to salvage both of those bits of my old Z before it was collected by the insurance man so will need to get myself a new wiring loom for the cruise then decide if I think I can tackle the retrofit myself...

Anyway very excited first time since my old Z was rearended that I've been excited about getting in a car and had great weather for on a top down cruise test drive, shame there won't be any more roofless driving for a few days until the insurance money hits my account and I can pay off the balance
 
Excellent news glad you will soon be back in a Zed :thumbsup:

Obviously we will need to see pics once collected :poke:

Congratulations - hope you payout comes through quickly and you can get back behind the wheel :thumbsup:
 
Wackydo turned up in a Ruby Black Z4M today and it really does look great in the flesh, with the sun on it.

Congratulations. Sleep well until the big day :driving:
 
Looking forward to taking the pictures.... and going out on a proper roof off drive in it! :driving:

Anyone know how long it usually takes to get paid out by insurance? Value of my old Z was agreed middle of last week so was assuming I'd have the money PDQ as all the time I don't have it they are paying the hire on the audi A3 I'm currently driving
 
Good news. Congratulations and good choice of colour. Can't wait to see the pics when you finally get it :thumbsup:
 
I was just over 1 year when the 3 Series Coupe was written off!

It'll be within a few weeks with a bit of luck.

Ruby Black must be a rarity on non M cars.
 
Great news OP - a Z4 is the only possible replacement for a Z4! :lol:

And on the odd occasion the sun shines Ruby Black looks fantastic - hope this one has tw*t aversion sensors!

The drive home should be great - I know I went the long way home on A roads as much as possible when I picked my latest one up! Enjoy! :thumbsup:
 
Good to see you getting back into another Z - from what I've seen in pics the Ruby Black looks stunning in sunlight - :thumbsup:
 
Good news, so glad you found something you are excited by. It would be interesting to get all the varieties of black lined up together one sunny day.
