My 'new' car

Hi,

In 2007 when I first saw a 2006 E86 Z4 I decided that one day, one day I would own one. I thought then that it might be in 2009, but it took a little longer. I bought this 2008 car on 8 April 2018, spent 2 full days machine polishing and adding a coat of ceramic sealant. I bought new wheels, have tyres on order and a new driver front wing arch liner. I love the car and want to keep it for many years.
 
Congratulations, and welcome. :thumbsup: Love that interior!

I always wanted one from the first time I saw one, but I got there in 2014. :)

Now you just need to enjoy it. :driving:
 
Hi and welcome.

Looks as if the seats might have been swapped. If not the door cards have at least, as they have extended leather. Transmission tunnel doesn’t appear to be though hence my observation.

PS, the above isn’t a bad thing.

Interesting srhutch, I will try to investigate as the car only had one owner and was used by BMW as a demonstrator, so should not be too difficult.

Decode the VIN online to find out what options it came with :thumbsup:

Have checked by decoding the VIN number and everything is correct. The upholstery is VOLLLEDER NEW ENGLAND/SCHWARZ/TRAUM (LBT5) or as we say outside of Bavaria, Red.

It had bi-coloir leather originally. Red and black. Someone's swapped it out for all red by the looks of things

Not sure it did used to have red and black seats. It is the same as this https://zroadster.org/threads/project-sasha-2007-bmw-3-0si-sport-carbon-black.11610/ I think the black and red refers to the black centre console and parts of the doors and the red refers to, well, the red you can see. Am I wrong?
