Greetings from the Scottish Borders
Hello, bought a BMW Z4 2.0i from a BMW main dealer this February.
She is an August 2012 first registered in May 2013. It seems that BMW UK pre bought a bunch with the same spec.
Atacama Yellow, M Sport, Auto, 19" wheels, most options...
I've already bent one wheel on our local potholes despite trying very hard...going to go to 17 or 18 wheels with some non run flats...
Plan to do the Celtic ECU re map...having done a fair amount of desk research...
Hope to see some of you on run outs...
Finding the forum useful..
Here are a few pictures
We have moved up from the East Midlands to the Scottish Borders
Anybody local our cappuccino machine is always loaded ready to serve...

Hi, as Stu says-blinding colour!
I enquired about the Celtic remap & was quoted £900, very expensive for a reflash

Greetings from the Scottish Borders
Hello Rob, price quoted was £399 by Celtic, I got the impression that some of their dealers who do the work are 'opportunistic' .
When I pushed back the £399 came into focus...

Hi Stuart, I started out looking at the blue ones...saw a 3.0 in this yellow then saw the light!
It sold in a few days, no 3.0 yellow ones, so went for a 2.0i plus a re chip soon...
Last yellow car I had was a Fiat 126 back in 75....
Both rear wheel drive...the Fiat had more space than the Z4...

Hi and welcome OP.
As has been said, that is a real stand-out colour - but I think it looks great!
Also very jealous of you car stabling facilities - looks nearly as big as my house!
Enjoy your new toy.
