Anyone own this beast? One of those cascade colour mixes I think, must have cost a bob or two to repaint..

I went past it in Uxbridge last Thursday. I own a Z3M Coupe and was amazed by the kit fitted. I wonder if the rear wing would sort the flex in the body and if the vents on the bonnet are fitted to let water out when going through a very large river ( something quite common this summer). He did look very pleased with himself

If my paint went like that I'd want it sorted out under warranty!!!

Alloys look good though, but so do standard Z3M alloys

Anyone else notice it's parked outside 'The Beauty Room' , so it is true it must be a hairdressers car.
I think the colours fine just not on the Z3 though.

Looking at it again, it looks as if the 'tea tray' is pointing upwards to give it rear lift, not downforce

No gentlemen. This is the latest in government speed safety technology.

The Safety Tray is angled to provide lift as you approach 70mph, the instablity of the vehicle will thus persuade you to not accelerate to this "dangerous" speed (decided by a cross section of car hating numpties).

At exactly 70 mph the lift is sufficient to stop the drive wheels contacting the road thus stopping you from further acceleration to 71mph and above (which is considered too dangerous for anyone but government chauffeurs and police drivers).

I'm curious to see what the pedestrian and cyclists groups have to say about the wings for front wheel drive vehicles!!!!

well look at it this way, as 'unique' as it may be, it was striking enough to make me stop and get the old camera out... but it's not too my taste, especially with the blue roof...

I think it is cascade purple.... weird colour...
