YES! Bloody gorgeous. :D

There aren't many in that combo around, but I count at least 7 on this forum.
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone

Cheers MrPT, same as yours then. I like all the colours so wasn't too fussed.
Have had a lot of bright silver cars but other than that, also love red, interlagos or black.
The poll showed 33 M coupes so 7 in this colour is nearly 1 in 5! Common as mud then!

Silver Grey looks great with a red interior - lovely looking Z4 OP. :thumbsup:

Someone on here got some numbers for UK E85/86s and according to that we got 588 M Coupes with 72 in Silver Grey, so nearer to 1 in 7!

Enjoy. :driving:
Coupes because stunning!

There are only something like 15 in S/G with red seats - notoriously difficult to find, which is why I'm surprised there are quite a few on here.

OK cool if it's a rare combo. The grey looks about the fourth most popular colour.
Had a proper blast in it today (180miles) with a mate in a mix of weather and roads. He's got a 56 plate 335i. Straight line speed identical 30-70ish :D
Staggered at the grip the coupe has (Michelin PS3s). Really chuffed with it. It does need front discs as it suffers bad shudder at speed.
Other than that the suspension is taught for the miles and was surprised at how comfy it is to after hours driving it. cheers Scotty

Z4Cs just seem to corner very flat with minimal roll!

I did over 250 miles yesterday, but in my E46 325ti to get some wheels for my Z4C. :(

I have a full set (x4) of barely used Pagid discs off an E86 that I won't be using due to a change of plans, so if they may be of any use to you please pm me!

Just an observation, but why don't people seem to post their location even in vague terms?
