Buy one then
Space... or lack thereof! I need a house first.
Is that why you took the picture from so far away?
Haha! No
Fair enough
I'm currently getting quotes for the driveway to be extended as there isn't room for 3 cars at the minute

Just buy the house next door and double your parking spaces
Black is a bit of a nightmare in that respect :| a losing game really.
Indeed, hopefully after a bit of TLC it will look much better. I'm not an expert detailer or anything but I have improved things before with a DA Polisher. I do feel like it might take a bit more effort to get this looking it's best though! I'll post closer photo's if it goes well

Looked nice and sunny
Just got my weekend play thing
Another black Z4, I'm not alone!
Paint is a pain on these, and BMW clear coat is about as hard as granite so it's a big job to do properly. I didn a single stage with Sonax EX04-06 and theres still some deeper scratches left, but it removed pretty much all the swirls and hazing. Would need something with more cut first to get any better.

Looks amazing. What an absolute beast of a car.It's taken a little bit longer than expected but tomorrow is the day I get to pick it up and take it home. Can't wait!
The bonnet's not quite shut, right? Or am I imagining it?
Stunning. In terms of looks, the GT86 > new Supra, IMHO.
House doesn't look half bad either. But shouldn't the car port be used in this weather we've had?!
Thanks. It's full of tools and building equipment, but as you can probably tell by the tatty old Astra estate, my relatives aren't really "in" to cars, so they probably wouldn't use it anyway

Does anyone actually use a car port as a car port? ours is full of odds and ends and where we dump the wheelie bins until we put them out for collection, etc.

Yup, the bonnet wasn't shut when that picture was taken.
Here's a slightly better picture:
That's a stunner @Homer-Simpson - congratulations! those things have some serious road presence...
