Rare Colour Register - UK Owners Check In Please

[Trav]

You may or may not like the interior. I'm not a fan of the stitched badges. I am sure the original black interior would have been pretty sharp but maybe a little dull.

A rare beast. Looks in lovely condition, but can't help thinking that the simple all black interior against the white paint and alu dash would look lovely.

Not sure on the stitched badges, not my flava...

I've just bought a '07 Z4MR in Carbon Black. Not taken any new pics but this is one from the dealer.

I would have to restore to standard if it were me. Either black (probably) or imola.

Wheels need to be silver to.

Space Grey Coupe here.

Despite being on here for ages (mainly lurking) I've not come across this tread before. Excuse my ignorance but does that mean there were only 2 Space Grey RHD Coupes made? If so didn't realise it was so rare

FINALLY! That’s beautiful! :evil:

I have a white E85 and have dreamt about the unicorn for years haha! (Just ask anybody on here!) Sadly I couldn’t afford it (even though I’ve been following it on autotrader for the last few months!) I heard rumours a year or so ago this had been written off, glad it hasn’t!!!!

I love the car, but agree the interior could be freshened up a bit

Here’s my interior if it helps you imagine the red/Ali combo as opposed to yours...

Old photo from above:


And with new pedals, gear knob and handbrake set:

From an ownership perspective it’s all about the Exterior / Interior combination.

Appreciate its personal but yet to find a combination I would prefer above what I already have - that said I would never say never

Jingle, strangely I had always wanted a white coupe. The one with the AC Schnitzer ensemble went up for sale the week I had given in and bought a Cayman S. A low mileage white one came on the market at 27K the day I was flying down to pick up AF09. Prices seem strong. It disappeared almost as quick as it was advertised. Usually I was on the lookout very frequently. We had been a bit busy so hadn't looked for months. I saw AF09 and thought, now or never. Some things I am not a fan of but I still think the car is great. No not great, the car is awesome.
I had already had a nosey at the galley pics of your car and the lighting mods you have been busy working at. As well as scouring the internet for general ideas. I have just cleaned it and stuck a cover over it now. Then I'm just going to use it as it is in the spring. I fancy getting the wheels done first. I saw Felix79 and survivalists shiny fresh ones above. I think AF09 needs a sprinkling of that first. The seats are a fairly recent job I think. Although the badges really annoy me I should really get some use out of the seats. I might just brown paper bag the headrests.

That's correct, you're 1 of 2 owners of the beautiful Space Grey Z4MCs! :driving:

I was really after one of these, but knew the likelihood of ever getting one would be extremely rare, so went for the Silver Grey instead.

Love to see some more shots!

Mines only the 2.0 so the only step up for me would be the 3.0Si roadster/coupe but they just don’t come up for sale that often. Been looking for ages. Got offered an alpine white coupe for £7,500 which sounds relatively cheap... but it was high mileage so not really an option

And thanks for the kind words about my car, glad you like it... pick up my //M bonnet tomorrow so it will almost be finished and ready to swap all parts over to a 3.0Si as soon as I can find 1!!

Keep me in the loop of upgrades to your car :evil:

[Papa_Zee]

So..... my Imola Red is common as muck as its not on Flimper’s list?

 

[Trav]

Ha ha. As beautiful as your car is if its not on his list it's not getting in. You could always start a new thread. ' if I queued behind 83 other people all in a red jumper like mine, would I feel special'. :fuelfire:

 

[Papa_Zee]

N.U.T.S. Lmao! :headbang:

 

[WillP]

Picked up a white MC a couple of weeks ago but today was the first day i managed to get out with her.....alu dash with imola leather. She looks amazing, especially when the sun was out - had a fantastic drive - loved it!! Here are a couple of piccy's;

 

[Papa_Zee]

Mmmm... looks a little, what’s the word... Perfect? Yes Perfect!

Enjoy!

 

[Vijay]

Wow, my first choice Color was white, but they’re not many around; looking good!
