Loving the black grills, been wondering whether or not to do this on ours, definitely will now! Was it DIY job?

Perfect spec Z4! Faultless.
I'm not too keen on the black kidneys though.

Really really nice car!.
But I'm still not a fan of red leather.

Cheers all, I looked at it today in the sun and it's looking better than it ever has! That z6 has really given it an extra edge.
I wasn't sure either until I did it, it looks so much more aggressive now without losing the oem look we all know and love. Chrome has no place on a sports car.
Cheers pal, only 3 more to go haha
I wont be buying an Audi a1 that's for sure lol.
Youre right though missy, they're stunning VFM, I got this for a price I just couldn't turn down considering the spec
Thanks Chris.
I was adamant on getting alone either in black or sterling grey with red seats, the M seats were a proper bonus!
The only real option it doesn't have is satnav, it's been loaded with extras, I'd love to know the original price but I can't find it
Cant please them all! I'm a sucker for a nice interior, and th z4 does look really quite special inside with the red etc. Dare I say more than my old TT which has a beautiful dash.

Looks lovely!
Tempted to get some facelift "non orange" headlights mate?
Looks mint though.

Fantastic example, nice to see one with some options aswell!
How do you find the 3.0L unit?

Thanks lads.
Originally that was going to happen, but I've actually learned to love the orange!
I find they look a little bit plain de-gingered on black, certainly not worth the money involved anyway, they're £500+ for xenons! Or it's a cut apart with dremel job, lots of messing about which normally I'd be up for but it looks a pain in the bum for minimal gains, even the clear hockey sticks are around £150-200...
Ill be getting rid of the orange in the rear lights though, I wake up in cold sweats with them lol, dates the car a lot.
Undecided on the side indicators, I quite like them too.
Peach! It's no M, but its meant to be. I find it to be naturally very lazy with a nice amount of torque low down, silky smooth!
You can happily cruise down the motorway at 80mph at around 2700rpm, cruise control on, gassing away on the Bluetooth with a toasty bum from the heated seats.
Sport mode on, dsc off, and it wakes up much more for a weekend blast. I love how quiet it is while cruising, yet still retaining that sweet straight 6 pur, then when the right foot gets heavy there a deep loud howl that will make your passenger crack themselves if they weren't expecting it! I'll do a video at some point.
The power is very linear, speed is pretty deceptive, similar to my M3 in that regards only it doesn't rev as far as the M, less drama undoubtedly. It's quick, it launches extremely well so i have no doubts about the claimed 5.7 seconds 60 sprint. I've had a play against a mates ep3 CTR and tbh I thought it was going to be even but to my suprise I wafted past quite easily!
It takes some getting used to sitting so far back, pretty much on the rear axel, but after a week or so and you get there. The bonnet is so long! Front parking sensors would be nice, not essential. I love the turning circle! Something I've never appreciated in any car up until now, surprising how much you appreciate something so practical!
Any questions just ask

Great review there mate!
5.7s to 60! Christ! Thats S3 ground!
I hired a newer shape Z4 with the 2.5 (IIRC) and just could not get over the long bonnet, i did only do 30 miles or so in it so that may be why!

It goes alright
I don't even think about the long bonnet anymore but it's proper daunting at first!
Cheers, thanks for the z6 heads up!
Totally different to your latest toy so I can see how you miss it! Nothing wrong with the a1, I think they're very stylish but I can't imagine they're quite as fun to charge out of corners in!
It's dirtier now you're right, blacks a ****
