I had a 30i in red for 3 yrs and just got a 40i also in red. White not my thing. In black the whole car disappears - works really well on other models (2 series) but not this one. Love the red and have had a lot of compliments from complete strangers! Love the car, great fun and very versatile - equally happy around town, on motorways or B roads.
I think the m40 will be the next upgrade once I get bored of this. I agree on the black, that’s my view also. I’m about to meet my friend in his E89 and we’re off out into the countryside then a pub lunch, can’t beat it!
I recently bought a 30i which doesn't have the comfort pack, so no wind deflector. It's virtually impossible to have a conversation or hear the audio when you're traveling at speed with the roof down, so I bought the wind deflector kit, including the replacement roll bar covers with slots in to hold the deflector in place. (The standard covers don't have them, so you can't just buy the deflector on its own.) £600 quid for the deflector kit... and another £210 (£175+vat) if you want/need BMW to fit it! (Luckily, I could do it myself.) Crazy money... but I think it's essential. Enjoyed the video. (Liked and subbed.) Have a great road trip!
That is actually a lot more expensive that I expected it to be, seems better to negotiate when purchasing (if buying new). Road trip will be in August!
@@michaeldoesstuffs absolutely! It's a ridiculous amount... but that's BMW for you. I don't know how the original owner drove the car with the roof down and no deflector... it's horrendous without it! So, I had to bite the bullet and get one. You should be guaranteed some decent weather in August 🤞😎
@@Sky-cp6cl seems all good. The car I've bought is four years old, with 17k miles on and the roof looks as good as new. I've had it treated, which should keep it in good condition...and I've bought a half cover, for when we have heavy rain forecast. The roof is extremely good quality, so I expect it to last for a long time.
Congratulations on your acquisition! one question: What's the name of the color? San Francisco Red? On your video it looks amazing! I have a hard time deciding the color I want to buy that car.
Yes, San Francisco Red. It’s one of those colours that looks different in different light conditions, but I love it. If you’re going for a brand new one check out the purple and grey colours, they look really nice. Red is the best of the older models in my view, but appreciate everyone is different, they’re all nice to be fair
Very nice video you made there! But take off the stripes mate :) just IMHO. Still congrats on your purchase. Also, if you want to you can find someone to program / code for you that the windows go up after roof folded down. I speed up the operation by coding that the windows don't fully go down when opening the roof in the first place, but only as much as when the roof is closed (1-2 inches perhaps). Then you can also have the ASD (Artificial Sound Design) deactivated by having coded it. I did it because the ASD gave me a headache when driving with the roof up. Oh and wife also said that I bought myself a mid-life crisis car ... :0 and we did a CH, AT, IT roadtrip in the second year we had it. Great experience and you'll have fun I'm sure! Lovely color by the way; why would I say that ... ;-) ua-cam.com/video/ESMVgmVF6A4/v-deo.htmlsi=Zb3lzUP6pNfGNBzp
Thanks, I knew I could get it recoded but never considered being able to speed up the roof going down, that’s cool. Looks like you have the M40, it’s on a nice number plate as well! The stripes are gone as you’ll see in my second video ua-cam.com/video/mMqXMF1OR4A/v-deo.htmlsi=Y8LGaOALQ5vthGW4
z-roadsters have a handle inside the trunk lid, so please guys, don't touch it on the outside closing it, please... ;-) I see this fault again and again
****Please can somebody do a vid on how to fit the wind deflector-cant find one anywhere**** Got one , Mizano blue, with white leather, with a pro pack and comfort pack love it but bonnet sooooooo long. Wind is baaaaaad over about 30 Boot is fine to be fair Took me ages to find the washer container haha. Done 3 of 4 alloys 😞
Nice! There are some guides online on how to fit the wind deflector but no videos. Why do you need to fit one? It should have come included with the comfort pack. I’m yet to do the alloys but just a matter of time 😂
@@michaeldoesstuffs It mustn't be a comfort pack i have then, as i bought the wind deflector seperately I dont remember them mentioning a wind deflector at purchase. I have pro pack for sure. Thanks

The red exterior and black interior is such a sharp combination. I really like it.😊 It’s so good👍
