Hello (again) new e86 si

[Nuts]

I’m back into a zed after a whirlwind few years of 911’s and an R8. Paid very very strong money today for an 09 reg exceptional low mileage (30k miles) black sapphire/champagne leather e86 si.

I’ve had roadsters before now but absolutely loving being cocooned in the coupe. A wonderful place to be.

For now an inspection 2 service awaits and I’ll consider upgrading wheels to Arc-8s. I’d like an M front and rear bumper and aero sideskirts too but know they’re rare as hen’s teeth.

Beautiful coupé!

Welcome to Coupe ownership.

It looks like found a great example, and I like the paint/interior colour contrast.

Good luck finding M bumpers and aero sills, and expect to give your wallet a bashing if you do find them!

Thanks all. Been wondering if anyone’s adapted the sat nav to house a new touch screen system? I swapped out the old screen in my 997.2 with apple car play and it was great.

E86 looks lovely. Bet you're well happy with that example. What's it like compared to 997?

I have seen this done. There is a company I seen in Instagram that offer it.

Thanks. Ideally want the motorised casing part to stay and replace the screen within

Very nice example. Nice touches in the interior I’ve not seen before, and the 108’s look mint.

Lovely looking car there.

Someone did it to an E89 so it probably wouldn't be impossible on an E86.
