Welcome Alan.

Funnily enough, I had a Z3 too before buying my Coupe.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures when someone more technically minded comes on and explains how to do it now that Photobucket isn't playing fair anymore.

Welcome Alan, I'm sure you're already enjoying your coupe!

Just above the 'post reply' button should be an 'add files' button, try that.

That's my view of it on and iPad and iPhone, maybe a different view on a different device!

Hi and welcome OP. :thumbsup:

Glad you managed to get the photos added, as that is a good looking Coupe!

From the wheels I would guess it may be an SE model - if it is, how do you find the seats?

@ mr tidy.. compared to my Z3 l find the seats very comfortable

@ mr wilks.. gonna keep these original oem wheels as l think the reallly suit the car.. l went through all the 'bigger and wider wheel' phase with my Z3. l also prefer not to have a staggered set up as l like to switch back to front..
