I think they look utterly amazing!
I would love to get the older style Alpina wheels for mine, as I like the multispokes that are flat, rather than curved like yours are. That said, now I know better in my head such how stunning a carbon black Z4MR and Alpina wheels will look
Odd question, I've just been out for a Hoon and with just under a 1/4 tank left showing, the fuel warning light came on. Is this normal with Z4's/Z4M's? I think in the manual it said there is a pretty big fuel "reserve" ?

Those are great looking wheels
it was this image that got me wanting a set:
don't forget, when you are averaging 12mpg, you need an early warning, so yes..
I'd been trying to forget that element of ownership! As it's a new toy, I was expecting to be driving it a lot, but I didn't count on my dad "borrowing" it from time to time!

Personally, I think the wheel and body colour combo look totally on point! While I like the Z4M wheels a bit more now I've seen them in person, they do look a bit dated. I think your wheels makes your Zed look modern and a non petrolhead would not be able to date the car if it had a private plate on!
Got my car back after the dealer put in a BMW Cam Position Sensor today. The car felt a lot quicker and I actually used "sport" mode as I wanted to see what the sharper throttle setting would feel like. Even though it was really wet, I had a big smile on my face, all of the way home
Your car, make it the way you want it. there is no right or wrong. look at all the sweet Zeds on this site. some of the best ones are far from stock. If it makes you smile , do it.
Welcome to the forum from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey................FrankieHello everyone,
Just doing my first post to introduce myself on the forums. Last Sat I collected my 2007 Carbon Black Z4MR. I had admired the Z4 ever since my friend got the 3.0 Coupe back in 2008. After not being able to drive for a few years due to issues with nerve damage in my lumbar area, I finally had enough improvement that I was able to get a nice car again.
Previously I have owned a number of E30's , with an E30 Alpina C2 2.5 being the last. I had been using my mums 2010 factory JCW Mini, but due to my height of 6.4+ I was unable to get the seat low enough that the roofline didn't block such a large chunk of my view. With a stroke of good luck, the Z4MR allows me to sit low enough that I can see out much easier, yet there is enough room for my large frame to sit without aggravating the damaged section of my back.
Due to the really poor weather we've had in Oxford this last week, I've not been able to take any of my own pics, so for now I am just using one of the ones the dealer took of the car.
Currently I am just trying to build up the miles behind the wheel of my new "Zed" as it's been about 8 years since I owned my Alpina C2, which was the last RWD car I had owned/driven. Until a few years ago, I was driving a really heavily modified Subaru Impreza P1, which had 322hp/330lbt , so the Z4MR is a bit of a step up in powerwise, even if the torque output is somewhat less.
I've pretty much instantly fell in love with my "new" car, as the sound from the S54 and until recently my old man use to own a lovely E46 M3 Cab. Because the weather has been pretty rotten this last week, I've taken it very carefully in the car and have just been enjoying the whole experience of owning such a well rounded car.
Fingers crossed I will be able to find some fun monthly meets around my neck of the woods to attend, as it's one part of car culture I really missed.
Regards,
Dan aka Felix
