    Nice colour both exterior & interior. A set of Alpina "Dynamic" style alloy wheels would be nice on it, you know the style, 4 pronged, 5 spoke wheels.
    It is definitely not a regular sight on Irish roads so a good buy from an exclusivity point of view.
    Best of luck with it.

    When is the book opening for how long your gonna hang on to it? :)

    Wouldn't be my choice of car, for some reason I never liked the Z4, but each to their own :D
    I love the colour of it though, the pictures doesn't do it justice, you'll have to put up some quality pics. Really like the beige interior.
    As the rest here have said, its great to see someone give a big two fingered salute to the great "recession" ;)
    Well Wear!

    Very nice, dont think I have ever seen a Z4 on the road here.Auto is the job too, no reason at all to have a creaky gear box in that!!

    What is it 250bhp, turbo injected?

    265bhp IIRC. BMW turbo petrols are in the past! And all cars are fuel injected since the early 90's.
    Best of luck Cyrus!

    Edited due to forgetfullness! BMW turbo petrols were in the past, till very recently!

    And in the X6, future M models, and probably throughout the range eventually.

    Vice-versa! BMW turbo petrols are in the future.

    Nice car Cyrus, we had one where I worked before which was a fantastic car to drive, more unique than the roadster, and better handling due to it's weight and rigidity. You're going to love it.

    Well, the petrol 1.6 single turbo in the MINI Cooper S has proved to be a resouding hit for BMW, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see it make it into other vehicles ;)

    Good luck with your latest fling. It will still be in vogue when you get itchy feet in 12 months time. :D I see a few Z3 Coupes about which still look the biz (in a brutalist kind of way). Reckon the coupe version of the Z4 will always have a niche fanbase too.

    thanks :) hoping to keep this one a little longer if i can, might even get 18 months out of it

    the z3 coupes still command a decent price so im hoping the z4s will tread a similar path :)

    You mean to say that a future 316i might not be a laughing stock? :D

    There's an awful lot more fail going on in the background on that E46...!





    TBH, can't beat the wheel on 'er at the moment.
    Just spotted, Maxwell again - they must love you!!
    Last time I passed them though, they had loooads of BMW's on the courtyard but no BMW sign up - have they lost the franchise? What gives?
