technically not a noob... so posting here. New 35iS purchased

Lovely purchase - stunning car.
The old E89 black wrapped roof debate is resurrected I see. I feel a Poll coming on - its been a while

The only way it could have been better is if it had been Melbourne Red! :wink:

With Ivory White extended leather, dark lined wood trim, 18" wheels and Pirelli P Zeros. :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Aesthetically (that’s a big word for me) I agree but practically my black interior is a better match for me. With two dogs I’d get really stressed trying to keep white leather in pristine condition and undamaged.

Since dogs must now wear a seatbelt harness, can you carry your two in your Z4 at the same time?

No we can’t. When we take them now they go in cages in the wife’s Prius. But if I’m cleaning the interior of the Z on the drive the little blighters are not above jumping in if I leave a door open. In the past when we had only one dog she loved to ride with me and behaved impeccably in the car. I had a cover for the passenger seat which was easy to put on. I even had a pair of goggles she would wear with the roof down. Mad I know! My only regret is that I didn’t take any photographs. Sadly we lost the old girl earlier in the year. She was a Gordon Setter. We now have two badly behaved Cavaliers. :roll:

Congratulations, that’s lovely

with or without the black roof

Now there's a good memory.

Very nice Rob 8) did you px your 23i or are you selling it?
Ps, i knew you’d end up with a smart top
Rob

I'll be selling it but the weather is pants for cleaning/pictures. Might have to use old pictures instead in the first place!

That's a big jump in horses from a 23i to a 35iS - well done, sir . Great looking car in that colour as well. Enjoy the :driving:

Will do.. I'll keep an eye out for you when I'm over in February (mainly Christchurch and north island this time though)

 

[Wyldie85]

How lovely. Fab colour and a worthy upgrade. Very nice.

 

[djstan]

Looks great!

Don’t see anything wrong with these lines ..............imo

I was keen on the black roof too at one point on my old car, but I love the orange... so will have to stay that way!

It’s all down to personal preference at the end of the day it’s the only colour of 89 where a black roof will work imo.

You’ve bagged yourself a beautiful car there enjoy :driving:

A black roof looks good on my e89 35i in Sapphire Black Stuart.
