nice!! did you buy it from a z4-forum member?

I'm also on both forums. I recently bought an E89 35i. though about a Z4M, but liked the softer nature of the E89.
[/quote]Hello, i didnt buy it from a z4 forum member, but i am on that forum now, i really love the E89 shape loads & yours sounds nice, i actually dont like the look of mine much from the front, i got it more for the way it drives as to the way it looks.  :)

Superb purchase. Do like the a lot.

We gave a Corvette Z06 a proper scare in a friends Z4M round the Ring a few years ago. We had the roof down no helmets, etc and were just all over the 'vette. Guy was more than a little surprised for a hairdressers car...lol

Thanks alot Raj, i followed one once down some backroads in my old V6 mondeo & i never saw which way it went i was amazed! i wanted a coupe but a mate has a e46 m3 & i thought it was too quiet so i went for the roadster to enhance the sound a bit with the roof down  :)

Eisenmann exhaust is the best way to enhance the sound... :)

Only downside to an Eisenmann is the price. Another option is to see Raj@Profusion Exhausts for a superb custom Magnaflow.

Oh no, you'll be getting a fiat 500 next !

I think those red BMW interiors are better know as dog knob red!

[/quote]Nice one! i just wanted something a little different from the norm as i thought the Z4 could be very boring after a loud showy TVR!!

When i saw the photos online i wasnt sure, but in the flesh the colour combo looks really good i think!  :)

Thanks alot, i am amazed at how much i am enjoying it, i thought i would miss the outright power of the TVR, but i think the Zed has enough power for the road & its lively on the rear end & i appreciate that! :)

i really like that, nice colour combo too!  is that the same engine as the e46 m3? if so it will be nice, i burnt £50 of petrol in a day the other week thrashing around in my mates m3 smg, i loved every minute of it and he loved been a passanger too (strange) i also realy loved the smg gearbox on the open road but wasnt such a big fan trying to reverse it onto the drive, i loved it so much im seriously considering parting with the x5 to get a m3/m5, or maybe just adding to the list but i need that engine!! :) :)
