New Z4M Coupe in Southern Ontario, Canada

[Shiro_se]

Guess I should have intro'd myself when I started posting. Bought a 2007 Interlagos Blue M Coupe (premium, extended black leather and Nav) last April with about 125,000km on it. Was honestly looking to get into a Porsche Cayman S, but I would have had to spend $10-15k CAD more to get the same power level as the M.

My Vehicle history of note is:
1988 Nissan Maxima SE 3.0L (13 years old when I bought it) great car, still miss that baby.

Sold it after I bought my 2008 Kawasaki Versys 650 (new). Crashed it 3 times in 4 seasons, so I'm done riding for now (at least until people start driving better).

My daily driver is a 2005 Mazda6 GS Sport Package. Mazda6i in some markets. Been the best car I've EVER owned.

Looking for opinions from all members. I have the option of refinishing the reproduction CSL wheels on the car in the current Hypersilver or Smoked Chrome both at the same cost. I'm leaning toward the Chrome to 'make the car my own,' as the PO did all mods to my car.

I can't wait for springtime to try out my new rubber, 245/265 Michelin Super Sports!

Hi Leigh, I bought a 97 1.9 in Boston Green in the UK last year and had it shipped over. Needs a bit of TLC but only had 74K on it. Needed a brake light bulb to pass safety as well as tires. Changing the top to green as it's due as well as installing a set of leathers for the seats that I also picked up in eBay UK for £50 brand new. Love the car, just gotta wait for spring or warmer weather to get the HT I bought in England and had put on the car before shipping sorted out properly so I can get back on the road. JIM

I'd be leaning towards the shadow chrome myself out of the two choices!
