After selling my MX5 a few years ago I missed the fun of driving a small roadster so started looking for something fun for the weekends, I've always loved the look of the BMW Z range so started the search and picked this up during the summer 
It's a 06 3.0Si with a few mods done to it - 19" 313;s, K+N filter, Brembo brake upgrade and wrapped white by a previous owner..
I was a bit unsure buying a car with a wrap as the paint condition underneath could be in any state but I managed to get pictures of the wrap being applied and that kind of put my mind at rest. As the wrap had been on for a few years and was starting to peel at some corners I spent an afternoon getting stuck in and removing it so now left with....
I absolutely love this car and I think it looks much better in Phoenix yellow but that may be down to the fact it took nearly 4 hours and many
but it just looked wrong with the yellow interior/white wrap.

worth the effort.Mr Tidy said:
Phoenix Yellow is one of the rarest colours on a Z4 - why on earth would you get it wrapped in white? 
It looks so much better in it's original colour.
Is it still on run-flat tyres? They seem to be the major cause of damaged 19" wheels.
I know I couldn't believe it when I seen the wrap, apparently it was the previous owners wife wanted a white one It looks so much better in it's original colour.

It's on normal tyres now but I think the 313's were notorious for cracking so possibly the damage was already done, it's not a harsh ride by any means but I think dropping down to 18's would be better.
The red center caps are getting binned when I change the wheels
Looks superb in Phoenix Yellow. My wife has just purchased a Z4 and I went to take a look at this one...

It needed too many bits and bobs sorting for the money though unfortunately so we didn’t go for it. Shame because it does look fantastic.

I bought one around 2010/11. It was when they were introducing the 2ltr turbo to replace the 2.5litre so i got a great deal on a new one with the old engine, which was a superb engine.
Great fun, though a rough drive on the big alloys which would leave you shattered on a long drive, but for a thrash about was superb. Looked superb.
Engine noise was fantastic as well. Bit gutted I got rid of it when I did
