Boy, can I relate! Six months ago my wife and I went through "the search" and found the most frustrating part the lack of really attractive color combinations in the used Z4 market. So many "non-colors", black, white, silver, grey with predominantly black interiors. Since it is her DD, I just backed out of the process and left it up to her. She settled on space grey with coral red interior. I have to say, to me the car is absolutely nothing special to look at with the top up, but when it's down it's an entirely different story. That red leather is gorgeous! BTW, the only color it didn't work with for me was Melbourne Red. It's just too much red and the shades clash!
There are definitely a lot of black Z4s out there!
I ignored them for a long time, but I saw one the other day, with the Beige interior and it made me rethink the color.
Other colors show the lines of the car better, and that's what I am focused on...if I had my choice.

I am torn about the red interior.
I am looking at a 35is, Silver with the red.
I'm nervous that I won't like it…although I have seen the red before and it never looks quite as orange-y as it does in photos.
I really wish I could buy a car after actually SEEING IT!
