Ahhhh so your the person who bought this...Looks like you beat me to it...Stockton on tees was a bit far to arrange a viewing I think the guy had it up 2 days on P/h and sold.... It looks awesome in the pic.
Yes, as soon as I saw the advert I was there like a shot as I had been searching for a Sepang for quite a while. He had quite a bit of interest so I was just lucky to get there first!
You have to be quick when they come up for sale...I know he kept the leather interior immaculate. I'm jealous now. I've had to settle for a z4m coupe in alpine white which is the only two colours I would have consider.
Yes the whole car is immaculate, and I'm keeping it that way, however, I draw the line at sitting on a towel to protect the leather, like the previous owners did! Alpine white is a great colour, I don't think you settled for anything inferior there

oh really.....that explains it then....did you get the towel thrown in with the car?....lol
don't get me wrong the car looks fabulous in white.... however I think the bronze for example brings out the lines better and the colour you don't see in other cars let alone the Z4, where as white is some what 'common'.

Very nice though Imi, yours must be one of very few with Alpine White/Imola combination.
What I meant was white is so common on the road now you see Corsa, Astra and even a fair amount E89's it takes the wow factor away but for us guys we recognise the rarity to see on in a Z4M, hence why I bought the car.
Just to put in context my dad had a BMW 735i (1989) in white which he bought back in 1995 and that car was the talk of the town it had OEM spoiler....that's right 7 series with OEM spoiler and OEM BMW BBS wheels and the smell of the leather interior..... modern cars certainly don't use 100% leather. I remember the local shop owner telling me at the time he'd never seen a car let alone a BMW in white...you wouldn't have somebody say that now.
My dad also used to have a Nissan 200ZX in white again very rare back then bloody fast car.....I think that's where I get my desire for performance cars.

Nice, Mylor Bridge, I sometimes park up my Monaco blue mc there to go for a run. Will post up some pics when it's clean.

Yes!
My girlfriend's parents used to live there. I loved the place. Wish I could live there. Nothing better than a blast around the countryside in the Z4M followed by a pint of Rattler and a burger at one of the many seaside pubs!
