Sod's law - Alpine White M Coupe for sale...

Post by LukyBowler » Wed May 17, 2017 12:26 pm

Can you believe it... After months of looking for a white Z4 M Coupe I decided the likelyhood of one going up for sale was slim so got one in black instead (currently with a satin grey wrap on).

And then, today, I see this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Z4-M-Coup ... Swi7RZGWWF

Sod's law is a b**ch.

Needs CSL wheels though, those ACS wheels are rancid IMO.

I just don't understand the whole white thing, looks a bit bland.
But as you say it is Sod's law :cry:

Every Shiela and her dog has a white car in Australia and it got boring very quickly for me while I was living there. Really put me off white cars

Sod's law is a b**ch.

Since it is a dealer, why you don't consider a trade plus maybe some cash to get exactly what you want? It will cost you moree, but having what you dream is priceless...

I know what you're saying, but a clean white M Coupe does look the nuts with CSLs on it... I'm happy with mine so far though so can't complain.

I've been round this guys place, he's got some very nice stuff in, Lambo's, Porkers etc, etc, he had a mint 3.0si and offered me a good trade in on my project Zed, might be worth a call, his name is James if I remember correctly.

Watch it, 74 year old here :lol:

I still like to drive fast and on the edge like when I was 25 :driving: :D

Lovely M Coupe, I am a sucker though for white cars :roll:

Rare though... good if you buy the car to drive 1,000 miles a year I guess. Problem is, recession white became very much a 'thing' right after these stopped being built, and now white cars are two-a-penny...

Definitely not a fan of piano black, but that bolster is in good shape for 60k :thumbsup:
