Yeah, you could just buy the one for sale with the black wheels Garrie.
Re the badges, I kind of agree, my E89 was built as 'model delete' so came as yours is now, but I missed the Z badge so I just fitted a Z4 badge on the back which also covered a minor scratch. Bonus!

I gave the car a good clean on Sunday and removed the Z4 badge as the Z was loose again. Ive just bought a black replacement. Will give that a go or delete. Is it easy getting rid of the sticky stuff?Yeah, you could just buy the one for sale with the black wheels Garrie.
I have always used a tiny bit of t-cut which gets the sticky residue off without any danger of damaging the lacquer.
First of what I'd call an Autumn / Winter run out - lovely and cosy with the heated seats on for a bit and the AC on for the duration. As much as I liked the 20i I've definitely missed that 6 cylinder burble the N52 affords 
But please - dont talk about my wife like that!

Be interested to know what you feel the difference is between that and a 3.0? Marked difference?
Nothing in it for me apart from an additional 50bhp and obviously the 30i's command a much higher price - this was my old manual 30i.
As you'd probably expect there is a much more noticeable difference in the 3 litre N52 between E89 & E85/E86.
