More Pics - Thunderbirds Are Go.......Actually Thundernight

I agree over colour choice. I struggled and kept changing my mind. I just wanted something that was different to all the other colours I see daily on a variety of mundane cars (red and blue and thundernight are the best options IMHO). The magma interior on mine became the differentiator, so I became less concerned about the exterior and ended up with white to make the interior really pop.dr_john said:
Cheers. Thundernight is a bit marmite. It's looks quite a muted purple under a cloudy sky but when the sun comes out boy does it pop. It has generated a fair bit attention in the short space of time I have had it. I have seen IOM Green in the flesh on an M3 Touring, looks good but I am not a fan of green cars.dr_john said:

I swear I did not manipulate the size of my car.
Hey John, I am thrilled with the zed. Did a 600 mile round trip to North Norfolk a couple of weeks ago and the car was faultless on a real mixture of roads. Even managed to average just shy of 40 mpg. The Cayman was a fantastic car and I would be a liar to say I didn't miss it on occasions, however, it could be a bit of a headache sometimes. I am not overly impressed with the OPC network and I really do think they take the mickey with regard to servicing costs. The Porsche was coming up to 3 years old and I was having to consider extended warranty etc together with a major service at 4 years old. I have to say the Z4 is not far off the Porsche experience and I don't think the Porsche warrants an extra £25K ish.john-e89 said:

Dave, was in at the dealership yesterday for a service on M40i and discussed with the Head of new car sales team a new Z4. He had recently been at a meeting in Germany re new cars/lci’s etc.
I asked about the IOM green and possible manual option.
He said this had been discussed both in general and VERY briefly on G29
All colour/spec changes will be lci related only. No expansion of individual colours etc to cover additional models. G29 will not have any further lci before production end date ergo, no additional colours will be made available, no spec changes/manuals. He did say that was all very much in his interpretation of the information given but the no further lci on the G29 was something specifically mentioned leading to his statement.

Yes, they do look aubergine when not in direct sunlight!
Sounds like the G29 is the end of the road for Z4's?Argyll Andy said:BigDave said:OOOoo, that IOM green would look stunning on a G29,, and agree on the beige interior...
