Coolest car I've ever owned!!!!
So I've had my Z4 now for about a month, and apart from fixing up small little things here and there, it's definitively the nicest car I've owned. Still coming to grips with re-learning the stick, but it feels empowering (not Mpower-ing and no pun intended) to drive. It's true people just want to race you all the time. Sad fact, but I do like driving it. It's my form of escape-ism and with the Z4 it's at a whole new level. I also like working on my own cars, otherwise I wouldn't have bought one of these.
Just love it.. First service due in 300kms...eek!!! : )

Congratulations! What I have really liked was that my affection for the car has not faded. I have always had a "wondering eye" when it came to cars. But I have owned mine for a year now, didnt get to drive it all winter and I am completely excited for the weather to warm up and get it rolling.
By the way - they predicted snow here again tomorrow. Probably not an issue in Dubai! |

I agree with your sentiments. Honestly the M isn't the easiest gearbox to drive smoothly. I've been driving exclusively manual transmissions for the last 6 years or so (except in other people's cars), and the M still takes a little bit of getting used to, especially first gear. I've found it shifts smoother the faster you shift it.

I smile every time I... Walk towards it and of course while driving it. I also look back at it as I walk away from parking it. That's love

Congrats on your new Z!!! I've had mine for almost 2 years now. It's always in the garage for winter. Every spring, it's a like a love affair all over again. Every time I step into that car and start the engine is magical. It puts a smile on my face when I go to work and go home from work. It's like having a trophy wife or girlfriend. Now I've got both, the wife and the car. Lol...

Yep, definitially looking into the CDV delete. And yeah I too turn to look at it after parking. I am not looking forward to the first service, but I will be doing hat at a Indi bmw shop that has all the tools. I'll probably bite the bullet and get a tune up, including new plugs and as the obc reports a misfire, I'll probably need a new coil or two : )
Oils are also in the service, as is a flush of the cooling system. Haha yeah it's an awesome car, brings a smile to my face when I start it

This morning, after parking in our private company garage, I literally walked backwards for ~50' staring at the Z. She was all cleaned up, new Apex wheels on...a sight to behold. It's sort of like putting a thoroughbred in her stall - you know she wants to get out and run and even sitting still it looks like she's chomping at the bit.
