Deposit paid on E89 Z4. Option list as long as my arm and a unusual colour. Go to view it and hopefully drive home next week (180 miles away from my house) Here are a few photos from the advert. Let me know what you think of the colour

That's a :thumbsup: for me :) Sepang needs to be kept polished to look its best & imo really suits the white trim

It's Havana brown and the guy who is selling it has had it for around 2 years so you may have seen it up for sale a couple of years ago. Looks great in the direct sunlight but grey ish when not in the sun. Done all the checks and spoke to BMW UK to check any recalls have been done and just to verify history etc and was £47k when new and sold direct to someone in the BMW group so no supplying dealer as such but everything else seems above board so just hope it's as good as the seller says it is

And with the design interior it really sets off the Havanna really well. Think back in 2010 when someone bought one on here it was in that colour. Great choice and rare on M Sport too

Ok thinking about it more the M Sport bumpers have been added because at launch M Sport versions weren't out and with new lights and LCI side lighten wheels etc, it looks great

That's a lovely colour combination. When I read 'brown' i though, huh. But seeing the photos it looks stunning!
If you ever come to sell it give me a shout, that's exactly the kind of upgrade motor I'll be looking for.
The M bumper makes a huge aesthetic difference imo.

Yeah the M Sport package and the 343 wheels were fitted after as they are not on the vin decoder option list. The car is HPI clear and the current owner bought it from a reputable garage so I'm not too concerned about them been fitted afterwards as they make the car look fantastic. The current owner tells me the previous owner wanted a brown M Sport but none were available so got them fitted afterwards. Car has full BMW service history and I have done the MOT checker and everything tallies up so seems genuine. I will of cause be checking every detail of the car before I hand over any cash

I really like the wheels !!! I will be getting the same ones soon !

It is a fantastic car that will turn heads, it is still a novelty for me after a week of ownership.

Checking the MOT isn't enough. If you haven't done so, give BMW UK a call to get details of all the BMW garages the car has visited. Then call each garage individually and they will tell you exactly what was done on each visit and what was reported (they will give you every detail - Quiet impressive tbh) .

Amazing looking car though !!! - will it be you everyday car ?
