That's it :)

Got a few options for Z4M's but all compromises.

Still looking for that perfect car.

Anyone changed seat colours to two tone? Seen it on a few cars but has anyone had it done?
 
It was a factory option. Think I've only seen one ///M car that had it done afterwards, and that sold recently.

I had my 520 drivers seat repaired recently by a specialist. Will ring him and ask if it is possible to change a plain colour into two tone.

Looks feasible if seats come out easy

It's been done as I said, I think the red and black combo works best myself.

I sent an email to the guy that repaired my seat and hope he can do the work.

Do the door cards come off easily?

Not sure about the colour - black/red or black /grey

Anyone of photos of these combinations?

Had a quote for the black/red option this afternoon.

Was just over £750.00 from a company in Notts.

I know they do a fantastic job but its a lots of money for the upgrade
 
Going to see a Blue Z4M tomorrow morning

2006 44K fully loaded. Was hoping that someone on here knew the car but guess not!!!

Slightly higher mileage than I first considered but exactly the colour and spec I want.

Long drive and up at 5.30 so hope it is worth it.

May be a Z4M owner soon.

Only problem is that I won't be able to pick it up until 7 March as I'm overseas for work from next week

Talk about getting my timing right!!!!

Any tips what to look for appreciated :thumbsup:
 
Hope it's a good one for you Graham. Discs are expensive so check for excessive lip, the usual accident damage, any shunting under acceleration / gear change could be engine mounts, strut brace can crack at the turrets, loose feeling at the back end could be rear trailing arm bushes, same for the front wishbone bushes, excessive tapping vanos on it's way out although these engines tap a bit as a matter of course, shouldn't be very loud. Best of luck. :thumbsup:

Thanks John

Are you an ex owner yet?
 
Yep as long as Krisdelta shows up tomorrow, i'm not worried he sounds a very decent chap, plus he's getting it at the silly asking price....................... :oops:

After a 7 hour return trip today to Guilford I have put a deposit down on the car above.

Black/blue leather interior, SAT NAV, Bluetooth, Extended Leather, 10 speaker Hifi, heated seats, cruise control. carbon leather dash and console

Was expected a bit of an issue from other posts on gear change from 1st to second but it was fine.

Car felt very good on test drive and steering and brakes felt perfect.

Both interior and bodywork in near perfect condition.

You never know what you are buying so keeping fingers crossed.

Its a long time until I pick it up on 8 March .

Will post pics later :D

Found my dog and stick and looks like the deal is off

Guy fitted budget front tyres called Autogrip which reading the reviews on line are useless.

Wouldn't budge on price so still in the market for a low mileage good example.

Someone must have a great car they want to sell!!!! Come on :D
 
I note Halifax Bantam is not far from you - fits most of your list - worth getting in touch with him .

The car used to mine and has a full BMWSH
