The Transition - Z4 to M3

[LeeZ4MR]

I love the details on your frozen edition biggiz

I bet that wheel has a lovely feel to it, how are you getting on with the paint finish? Is it easy to maintain?

Thanks.

The paint work is an absolute dream when clean, it actually looks like Matte Silverstone 2.

Tbh it is high maintenance and I'm a bit of a closet detailer (wife calls it ocd ) and I also miss the look of a polished car.

But it comes at a price! You can't use normal shampoo's only special stuff from bmw which costs £45 for 400ml and I've bought 3 in 8 months.

I think Swissvaxx do a range for matte paint but it costs even more and I don't really want to take the risk.
Like you say that M button when set to 'Full Phat' is scary.

Sorry for the thread highjack OP, you are going to be smiling for quite a few weeks

Thanks for the insight

The frozen paint does look the absolute business in the flesh, I hope the OP doesn't mind our obsessive chat about M3's!

Pretty sure he'd be ok.

I can just imagine him driving around windows half down listening to that engine

M3 in red is as sexy a Ferrari

Well it's been a while but I still read and look at the Z4 Forum
I thought people would like to see some recent photo's of the M3 after a year of ownership.... It's a fantastic car and I can't really describe the driving experience until you've driven one. The V8 noise is very addictive though!!! Enjoy the pictures.

What is the original Reg? Looks identical to our old one!

Best colour! When we came to sell it the dealer said it was the most unpopular colour! What Bollocks

Looks stunning, is it your daily driver? If so, how is it as a main car?

[Exactmax]

It's my only car so yes it's my daily drive. In terms of just potting around in the car then it's great for that. Really easy to drive around town and when you want to you can put your foot down and put your head through the headrest It's a very adaptable car for any person I would say. Being a manual you do find that the gear change is very notchy when cold but once things warm up then it's a lot easier to drive around.

The Melbourne red is one of the rarest colours for the M3 and I'm pleased I waited until I found this one. So many of the M3's are either grey or black which isn't my bag.

Tom the original plate was NC*****. Surely this can't be your car?

[tomscott]

Well ye it is rare and a lovely colour thats why I thought maybe it was! Same year but not the same. Still Awesome motor

[Exactmax]

It's my 3rd red car... I got some stick for that but I like the colour red I wonder who bought my old Z4? I havn't seen it on the forum again

[LeeZ4MR]

Lovely photos it does look great in red

Pleased you are still enjoying it cheers for sharing the piccies

[Ninarvana]

Stunning M3, thanks for sharing your experience! I'm very tempted by one of these too, got to fulfil the Z4MC first though but I could definitely see myself with one of these in the future...

Lovely car. I'm really enjoying my E46 M3 and could see me upgrading to an E92 in a few years. Be interesting to see what happens to prices as the V8 is no more.

What a beautiful looking motor. Love the Melbourne red.

As you've said, seems to be very rare. I've never seen one in the metal in that colour. Usually black or white.
