Congratulate on the arrival of your new babe

. I love the colour (I order the same colour as yours but red interior) and nice big house

. I like your Cayman too, how much it costs you? I am sure it’s not going to be cheap in Singapore.

I think
1x Z4 35i in Singapore = 2x Z4 23i in HK
1 x Cayman S in Singapore= 2 x Boxster S in HK

Do you need to apply quota/permit to drive in Singapore?

Cheers

welbo · 08-01-2009, 08:59 AM

Hi Otago,

Thanks for all your compliment. I really love my interior colour but it is a pain to take care of it. It get really dirty really fast!!!!

The other car is a Carrera S not a Cayman. Need to bring my daughter around as Z4 only have 2 seats. ;-)

Yes, you need to bid for COE (Certificate of Entitlement) to own a car in Singapore. Been like that for the past 20+ years.....:-(

Cheers!

Z4 Beemer · 08-01-2009, 10:16 AM

Congratulations - wheels, colour combo looks terrific.

spairous · 08-01-2009, 10:18 AM

the last pic is fantastic!

Nebraska99 · 08-01-2009, 10:26 AM

Congratulations. I absolutely love those wheels. Anyone know how much in U.S.$ they cost?

zentra · 08-01-2009, 01:15 PM

Congrats and just wonder how much it cost for the z4 amid the high price for car ownership in singapore.
does your car come fully spec then?

Those are the 18" wheels that come with the $1900 Sport Package on the sDrive 30i. They don't seem to be listed as a separate option though. The sDrive 35i's 18" (Multi Spoke) wheels that come with it's Sport Package are also listed as a separate option for $750.

135Eye · 08-01-2009, 09:34 PM

congrats!!! wow just wow its so beautiful!!

welbo · 08-02-2009, 01:46 AM

Thank you all for the compliment.

Take all those photos using a 5yr old Casino camera that still work...

The cost of Z4 SD35i with my specifications which is almost full except the Navi system is about USD$160,000. I know it is insane amount of money for just a Z4 but this is how our country is. We paid inhuman vehicle tax in our little sunny island.........

For Singapore, the 18" wheels come standard unless you decide to change to something else.

Insane! can't imagine how much would a Ferrari or lambo cost then.

I thought the cost of owning a car in Hong Kong is expensive. Now I know that it is even more expensve in Singapore.
I have ordered a sDrive35i with more or less the same spec (with 19" rim and iDrive and Navigation). It cost me about USD 120,000

welbo · 08-02-2009, 09:10 AM

A Ferrari F430 will cost you about USD$500,000...........:-(

datbimmerdoe · 08-02-2009, 02:37 PM

Very nice car

Mine is same color as yours, but the interior is black. Knowing many of you guys got the car already, i really cannot wait another few weeks

Moris · 08-03-2009, 02:54 AM

Welbo, congratulations for your new car !

Just a question: is the interior of your car Beige or Ivory White...?

welbo · 08-03-2009, 05:04 AM

Hi Bretyon,

Just want to share with the E89 Community here.

My Z4 is on Beige and it is already very white in my opinion.
