Looking good, but those alloys are a nightmare too clean.

Looks good, and the alloys too. The private plate must have cost a few bob :wink:

Looks very nice and the alloys look great but:

I have to agree with the "nightmare" comment as my wife has the same wheels on the Z4 - its taken numerous attempts and nearly a year to find a brush that fits properly - but its worth the effort in the end.

Enjoy.

Nice! I really like the noise the 2.2 makes, especially when you're ragging the tits off them (eh, Bloke? :twisted: )
Ciao,

do you actually like driving at all or are cars to you just a manifestation of some sort of pathological mother complex ?

Your right the 2.2i engine growls like anything, having had a 1.9i before, there is so much difference and the car responds to the way you drive it.

I would definetly recommend the 2.2i engine I LOVE IT !!

The private plate cost me a fortune, its the only oneof its kind.

The special sunshine yellow paint is also a one off

Yeah i had the same wheels on my previous z3 and i would spend more time on the 4 wheels than on the rest of the car....crazy

I always found the soft wire brush was the the way forward or £5 to my local little italian man who does a great job :lol:
