I'm sure it isn't as sparse as a basic Z4 though!

When I got my first Z4 it had less gadgets than the 1 Series it replaced. :roll:

It's not an M-sport. Just a 'luxury' spec which seems to be basic SE with leather, fake wood and extended lighting.
No comfort access (I thought it had as standard)
No heated seats (I thought it had as standard)
No power seats
No folding mirrors
No auto dimming door mirrors
No Xenon or LED headlights. Candle headlights only.
Rear PDC only!

Good old BMW and their option lists, eh?

It does have power steering, though! :rofl: :rofl:
Its in good company, my 140 has the fake wood athough I think its burr walnut :? Thought it would look nice going with the cream seats and my age :lol:

Pictures....
It needs a little tidying, especially the wheels, but I can do that when the weather gets a bit warmer.
