Z4C From East Tennessee

Post by co-pey » Tue Jan 31, 2017 12:46 pm

Hi all!

Owner of a 2007 Alpinewiss Z4 Coupe (we say coop!) auto w/ sport. Bought it back in July of '16. Had a Z3 prior to this. Car was not in the best of condition and have spent the last few months getting it up to my specs. Have also been adding little things to it make it a much better road burner. This car is great here in East Tennessee where it is very mountainous. We don't get much snow, so the roads rarely see salt of get scraped, and are therefore in damn nice condition.

Here is a side shot and will post more pics in other sections.

That does look good, shame you are limited to 25mph though.

Thanks all! Odd enough, I thought that white was a more common color as it seems most BMW here in the states are either white or black.

Forgot to mention that it is a 3.0si, but I removed the badges as I felt they were too busy looking.

Warm welcome to another Coupe owner OP. :thumbsup:

Link works fine by the way.

It looks like you have been busy, and your car looks great!

I'm yet to see a white E86 in the UK - there are plenty of white E89s here, but the majority of E86s are a shade of silver or black (although I managed to find one that isn't either)!
Coupes because stunning!

Welcome from East Tennessee. I live in Johnson City, what part are you from. I just purchased a 2003 Z4 Roadster 2.5 that was not cared for very well by previous owners. Let's say I rescued her. I am currently giving her a complete face lift. Just added 18" wheels and new tires this week. Much more coming. Plan to start a thread to show the process from beginning to end. Love your coupe. Beautiful Z!! :thumbsup: attached is a pic of my new love.
