Nope.... Bolton potholes are a tourist attraction, and the rain is really just wet sunshine round here...Its always sunny in Bolton !
The previous owner mentioned the seats and dash are pretty rare? I am new to this bmw z life... still learning what's what on the car.
Coming from a modified 71 spitfire I had to move it on after a few years and got the boring (but extremely quick) electric mini lease car, lost the will and got the z4 as a 2nd car to energise the soul again.. 😃

Welcome to the forum Gaz. :thumbsup:

Those bi-color seats are pretty rare, and the Cirrus aluminium trim on the dash seems to be very rare. My previous Z4 had it and I loved it, but hardly saw another with it.
Coupes because stunning!

Hi, welcome to the forum. :driving: :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.
