Hi Jake, I'd love to know what on earth it is you find disappointing about your Z4?

Hi John, absolutely nothing, bar the colour!

Prior to coming 'back' to BMW, I was heavily involved in the post BMW MG Rover vehicles. One of their colours was called 'XPower Grey' to make the colour sound exciting, which sarcastically was renamed amongst owners as 'disappointing grey'. XPower & Stirling are quite similar.

My e61 is space grey also, so there's no escaping the colour!

Best colour for the E85, red for the E89 and Cosmos Black for the Z3. Oh, red for the Z1 and silver for the Z8. Other colours are available :D

While I do have to agree that Sterling Grey is a well used colour, I don't agree that it's disappointing Jake. You just need to use your imagination and a few £ and you can make yours that bit different than every other. I have done a few bits but not finished yet, not by a long shot!
Tony Stirling Grey wheels.webp

When it's clean and shiny it looks just as good as any other.:thumbsup:

Tony.

You got your wheels done now Tony, or is that photo shopped ?. Looks good anyway :thumbsup:.
 
No mate, still dreaming. Hoping to take them over at the end of the month. I think they will look ok.

In your opinion.......

Thats one thing you will definitely find on here is opinions :) but i wouldnt take them too much to heart :whistle:
Everyone has a slight bias as to what they own :thumbsup:for example in @Andy McDonnell has a bias to his cosmos black zed ( which is a stunning car with its red interior :cool:) but for me i love my dakar yellow ( bar the bits of paint i need sorted :() i really like the black roof yellow paint combo and my personal preference is i like a lot of of the more limited colours like dakar and fiji green etc as i think the bright colour combos really suit the zed 3 .:D:D
But at the end of the day thats my opinion and others will disagree but if we all agreed and liked the exact same things the world would be a bit grey me thinks :rolleyes::rolleyes:
