Introduction

Hi,

We test drove this Z4 at the weekend and will be picking her up later in the week. This will be our first BMW after owning other cars from VW, Mercedes and Porsche and we were really impressed by the performance and quality of the car. I think it was the DCT box matched to the 3.0 twin turbo engine that sealed the deal.

Initial plans are to sort out the front grille and lower air intake grilles, as the factory ones don't really complement the black paintwork IMHO. I'm between going for the totally black stealth look, with the BMW performance black grille and black lower air intake grills, or an accented look with the upper black grille with the chrome surround and then black lower air intake grilles with a silver/chromed cross divider. I don't think there's anyone out there currently who sells a chromed cross divider for the lower grilles, so I would have to look at getting these done by a specialist electroplating company or seeing if it's possible to wrap them with a chrome vinyl wrap.



I'll post some more pictures once we've picked her up later in the week.

Steve.
