Yes, in Estoril Blue - is there any other colour? I won't bother posting pictures of the Touran though...

I've got one in Imola Red. For me though the best colour for these cars is black.

Anyway, enough about paint, great fun aren't they?

Oh yes - especially so in the wet, and it is chucking it down today. I had the option of an Imola Red one but it had non-standard wheels on it and was a couple of years older than the one I ended up buying. I know it is not to everyone's taste, but I do like the 2-tone interior and the relative exclusivity of the model.

Reliability is fine provided it is regularly serviced. Main problem with these was with the S50 engines (common to older M3's) and the VANOS gears and bolts - most have had these repaired under warranty. Expensive if it goes wrong though. The newer S54 engined models didn't have the same issues and also came equipped with DSC which helped with traction etc.

Z3M Coupe and 350Z are very different cars - you'd need to look at both to make your own mind up.

Metalic black with ACS front spoiler looks superb.
