New horse in the stable: 2016 Z4 sDrive35is in Estoril Blue
I have been considering an E89 Z4 for some time now as I have wanted a convertible and specifically wanted a convertible hard top for many reasons. I am a long time car guy and a big BMW fan. I also own a 2018 M550i in Mediterranean Blue and previously I owned a 2004 BMW M3 in Midnight Blue. I stared my search for a yellow Z4, because I had a yellow (CYM) 1993 RX-7 and well I am partial to yellow sport cars. After some near misses, I can across this 2016 Estoril Blue Z4 sDrive35is with Technology and Cold Weather Packages. The car only had 4110 original miles and well I am a sucker for rare paint colors (for a given car) and even more so in blue. In the end, well I could not pass this one up. I got the car the Saturday before Christmas. I just had it detailed with PPF added to the front end and ceramic top coat over everything. I think it turned out great and could not be happier. I also swapped out the antenna for a shorty (Amazon for $10). I have the European oddments tray coming from Europe, because the factory setup with two cup holders and the molded phone adapter is useless. I have enjoyed reading all the threads on this site and look forward to lightly modding this car while learning from everyone. Cheers and happy New Year!

Thanks. I think I saw in another post you were from TN and stuck in China. I think I even saw for 20 years? If that is right then that sounds like home.

shame about holes in front bumper. Looks good. Needs 15mm wheel spacers on rear

I have never been a wheel spacer guy. The wheels not sitting flush doesn't bother me. I might try it at some point on this car just because, but it is way down the list. |

Congrats! Great looking Z! Amazing you were able to find one with that few miles. Now that car needs to be drivin!
I think the plugs look just fine and I too have never been a fan of spacers. Of course a matter of taste but I think looks much better stock. Beautiful car! |

Thanks for the note. I will enjoy the car to the fullest once the weather improves. Too cold and too much bad weather right now. |

Awesome... They are beautiful looking things. Even with the latest G29, these E89s are still so beautiful looking. Mine is the Valencia Orange 5 year old and 10k miles and a long keeper too. Enjoy it!

I live in a smaller city 60 miles from the capital.And i live in a city center where everything is close, less than half a mile to supermarket, 2 miles to any of the local malls, 2 miles to the office. Estonia is a small country: 190 miles from north to south and 218 miles from east to west. So i can get from one end of the country to the opposite like in 3 hours. Also i live 20 miles from the shore, so seaside twisty roads are only 20 miles away. Biggest summer resort of the north coast where i go often is like 30 miles away. Put all this together and you dont accumulate many miles. A car isnt really that necessary here. Its more like a luxury thing.

Beautiful car. Congrats. Can't stop driving my 2016 Z4 35is. Exhaust makes a nice sound. Had it for a year and I put over 8k miles on it. Not my daily, and not been commuting to work since COVID. All get-away-from-home-wife-kids miles 😂. Enjoy!

Thanks. How many miles do you normally drive? I love the hyper orange interior. Heck probably wish it was in my car! What color is your top?

I was lucky to find this individual Z4 last year in Jan. The top is glacier silver metallic. I looked for a while for this combination. |
