Sweet, nice new pix. Red makes the car stand out really well.

Damian & FI are great. I got mine done there a year back. Will probably do a rejuvenation this year.

Oh noes... I've got an itch to trade-in for either a 997 MkI GT3 or a Vantage V8 4.3L.... thoughts? Possibly betraying the forum but .... i'm an impulsive guy, so help! LOL

Love the GT3... very different to the Vantage though?! Both nice cars!

I'd go for the GT3 if it was me. That's probably E92 M3 money as well no?!

Yes very different cars. I test drove a GT3 and fell absolutely in love with it. Driver's car definitely whereas the Vantage is more grand tourer. Though I do have to say the Vantage has soul.

But I've crunched out some numbers, and decided against impulse for at least this year Back to finding mods for the Z4M haha!

All up I think it was between 8 and 9k. Depends on the AUD a bit, and it wasn't as strong back then as it is now. Back when I bought my Z4 in '06 I figured it would be around 15k to supercharge (being a beamer), so I was pretty happy with under 10k. SouthernBM can quote you if you're interested. PM me if you want to check mine out.

That's pretty reasonable! I think I spent more than that on mods for my Cooper S lol!

Yeah would love to check it out sometime. Maybe we should do a Melb Z4M get together sometime!

Yeah, fer sure! I'm thinking Spring would be good for that, but I could easily be convinced to do it sooner.

Hmm, was parked at Westfield Donnie for a movie last night, and upon collecting my car, was asked by people what car was it. Told them it's a Z4M, and apparently they never seen Z4s like ours.

So what does this mean? Guys, more road presence please :P

Looking good Dave! I should invest in a SLR so I can take happy snappies where ever I go.
Pity the rain is picking again though.... Only just washed the car

But definitely of course the Z4M will get more looks than a Cooper S, taking nothing away from that car, as my Missus has a Dooper, I do see plenty of Soopers every day.

I bought an SLR last year but have no time to use it! You really have to have a lot of time otherwise it will sit collecting dust!
