Welcome Sam1977. :thumbsup:

This must be the weekend for new Interlagos Blue MR owners!

And despite having an E60 M5 and a 911 Turbo S you say your Z4 is the best car you have ever driven - now I know I need to beg, borrow and if required steal to get the Z4M experience! :lol:

Living where you do I expect you can get the roof down a bit more often than UK members as well. Enjoy. :driving:

Hi coop88 - wow nice photos!!

Obviously loving the Z4M photos - minter, looks identical to mine. Same colour I think? Mine is debadged but I think I will add back one M badge on the boot lid. Not sure yet.

E34 is awesome. Whats the history on that - you had it long? Thats got to be in the money now that thing

Hi Mr Tidy

Just being honest!!! The 911 is a great car and fast as hell but very twitchy and hard to drive on the limit. It's all wheel drive so the first you know it wants to snap out on you is when you arrive in A&E!!! Seriously it's a thing of beauty but unless you want to wear it as a hat it needs some respect. Z4M much more back to basics car and as I said the best car I have ever driven by quite a long way! Some photos of the Turbo for your enjoyment. It's actually not an S it's an X50 which is pretty much the same. 450bhp but this one was tuned by DMS Automotive to 530bhp.

Sam

Ok on the question as to whether the car has "aeroskirts" here's a few photos. As a newbie I don't know exactly what they are so hopefully I have assumed right by taking photos of the sill skirts!!!

Looks like it does yeah :thumbsup: Very rare to find (I fitted them)

Do you have all the car history? If not, I can give you a run down on the service history, maintenance items changed under my ownership, options and spec.

Hi Graeme

Thanks for that. It only turned up yesterday and I haven't even looked at any paperwork yet (yes my bad!). Been too busy driving it. All I have done so far is insure it on UK plates but I now need to deal with importation (its going to go onto Gibraltar registration). So I will look through everything provided and if there is anything missing I will certainly take you up on that kind offer.

All the best
Sam.

Thanks Graeme interesting to see the ad 10,000 or so miles ago: you obviously looked after it very well. In terms of the paint (I do admit having a bit of OCD on paint ....) I am probably going to get the front end (wings/bonnet) resprayed and the rest machine polished. Bonnet has a few interesting stains in the paint - almost like water marks and also some kind of spattering of droplets on one side. I make it sound really bad and its not at all (looks great generally) its just I have a big thing about front ends like this being totally flawless!!! Interestingly the bumper seems mint so I think that may have already been done given you described gravel rash. Actually the front is very low and I can only imagine how many kerbs the poor thing must have avoided to look as good as it does!!
