No extra £££ - I've just taken the chrome surrounds off, still got the OEM grilles (black plastic) - I'll flat the surrounds down and paint them gloss black when I get some time.... Next time you see me I'll be wearing M COUP reg plates so flash those lights as well !

Gids, you haven't got a private plate have you ? I met a guy with M4 plates earlier this year - think he lived in Monkspath but I haven't seen him since.

Gids - Totally OT, but can I infer from you Avatar that you are a Panerai wearer? I am an avid colllector, much to the demise of my back account

Currently sporting a PAM88 GMT

 

[Gids]

Yep big Panerai fan, currently got a Titanium Base 176, also had a 005. I presume you know about paneristi.com?

I presume you know about paneristi.com?

Oh yes - much to the stress on my wallet; I lurk here too http://www.viapaneristi.com. Nothing Titanium in my collection at present - 88, 111 and 183

Looks like we share similar taste in car colours too - another Ruby black

Did not here any sounds from the car

Back to reality now same sort of weather but missing NY food mmmmmmm

Huge breakfast in the Diner + Chilli and Bud for supper

Petes Tavern was great nice pub superb food

Macys foot long Chilli Dog +Bud +NY cheesecake i would be huge if i lived in NY would have to sell the Z4 and buy a 4x4 with a bench seat

 

[BlueMoon]

glad you had a great time Gaza!

Pete's Tavern is especially good when you can eat at the few tables outside on a Saturday/Sunday late morning... you get to eat the great food, feel some nice weather and see all the drama New York has to offer by the people who live right next door.

Couples breaking up...
People locked out of their apartments, etc.

It's great entertainment :lol:

Hope you come back soon!

No mines black/black. Lad at work said he saw a 57 plate black M Coupe on Stratford Road Monday night, is that you or another one!?! Common as muck these Z4MC's

Never heard of the Brueton park meet, any more details?

OK So its a Wednesday and not a Tuesday ....
"Start Brueton Park, Solihull for a 30 mile drive followed by a meal....."
http://www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/rm/events_detail.asp?id=1016

This one looks like it might be a blast
"Sunday Drive & Dine Peterborough to Northhampton 50 mile Royal countryside B road drive (TBC)....."
http://www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/rm/events_detail.asp?id=1139

Im not a member of the BMW Car Club GB but I live .5 mile up the road from Brueton Park so it would be rude not to pop by me thinks

I've attended a couple of these over the Winter. Nice crowd, organised by Phil R and his wife. Format is a brisk drive on B roads and a meal in a good food pub.

Mainly Z3's, couple of 4's and some other such as 911's

Some peole skip the drive as it's Winter, gravel on roads, and perceived by some as less fun that in the light of Summer, although now it should still be light for part of the event.

Let me know if your going to the next and I'll drop by (I'm only 20mins away)

No need to be a member of BMW club - just call Phil to let him know for numbers

Think I spotted Mikedav last night by Old Trafford, plate was very similar if not. Wasn't looking quite so clean!

That will be me

I have done 1050 miles this week... so she now needs a clean. Gutting as my machine polish was at the weekend and it was looking spotless! Were you in yours? I see quite a few Z4 Coupes on the road lately, mainly 3.0s but a couple of Ms...

 

[Gids]

Nah, I was stood at the top of Sir Matt Busby Way before the match. I turned around as I heard you pull away from the lights to see what it was and low and behold it an M from here!

Here in CT. while walking along the waterfront on the Naval Base, I was getting ready to head into the secure area where the USS Hawaii is berthed, and I looked over and saw a white Zed parked in the Commanding Officers spot.

After I went onboard (work related) I saw the CO standing in the passageway and made a comment "Nice Z Captain". Then we started to talking about mine and his Zed.
He has a 2004 2.5i. The tone of the conversation was that it's just a car to him but his wife and kids love it....

 

[Shipkiller]

He really did not seem interested.

But knowing just how busy a submarine CO is, I really don't think he would really have the time.

 

[20ducks]

Was he a pitcher or a catcher (Naval term boyz, just naval terms... ).
