Hi All,
I mentioned about this in a couple of other threads, but I finally have some pics.
For a while I have been looking for a replacement for my AC Schnitzer 325ci, I was originally looking at Z4s and E92s (new 3 series coupe) but I decided against a Z4 as it was so hard to find one with the options I wanted whereas there were a lot of E92s so I was just waiting for one to come along at the right price.
I go to my local dealer regularly looking at what E92s they have coming in but last week I saw a lovely looking 3.0si sport Z4, slightly dirty and with no for sale sign in. Upon investigation I saw it had navigation, which is really a requirement for me (I love messing around with interfaces, devices etc) so I asked the salesman about it and it had just come in as a part exchange! They weren't that busy so I went for a test drive and I was absolutely hooked. Around the country roads of Burnham Beeches it really handled so well, putting my 325ci to shame (even with ACS suspension). After 30 mins I was finally convinced to head back to the dealer, but stopping off at home to get the missus approval if I could get a good enough deal.
Anyway to cut a long story short and after a lot of haggling I managed to get £1000 off the list price, 12 months free tax, a new centre console top (worth £250), allowed to keep all the extras out of my 2002 325ci like the bluetooth, TV option, LED rear lights, xenons etc and they still gave me £9000 for it! An inspection was needed on the 325ci in 400 miles, MOT running out in 2 weeks and 4 new tyres needed so it really was a good deal for me as I would have had to fork out a lot for the car even if I kept it only for a few more days.
Here are the pics, I know a Z4 is a marmite car so it won't be to everyone's taste but I love the look (of both the roadster and coupe) and the driving experience is right up there with some of the best cars I have driven.

If the front drivers side looks a bit high, it's because of the way I parket it on the incline of the pavement.

At least get some sound clips up, the engine note is sexual!
