Are you REALLY going to suffer from a few extra pounds? If you're that serious about tracking/racing the car then you would throw in sparcos or recaros or something of the sort, not leave the stockers anyway.

This is a long term keeper for me.
5 years down the road there will be less bells & whistles that need to be repaired.

But mainly I have no desire for bells & whistles on this car.
Don't use them, don't need them, ....why buy them?
Hell, ....I haven't even turned the radio on since I got it;
I'd rather listen to the S54 music.

Also, this a weekend toy, not my DD.

Don't all cars only have 1 driver?

Honestly?!? I understand the engine sounds good but haven't even turned the radio on?

Mine is a DD so I wanted all of the bells and whistles!

Hawk I think he meant more than one person who would drive the car (e.g. husband/wife) -- not at once!

Fully loaded with every factory and oem after factory option

(not kidding)

Touching on the rarity extended leather for the Z4 M... World wide out of approx 4275 cars, it looks like 462 cars had the black extended leather (268 coupes and 194 roadsters) and 179 (67 coupes and 112 roadsters) had the Sepang bronze. Did I figure that right?

I struggled to separate the US cars from the excel file...

Correct.
Haven't even turned it on to change the presets.

Yeah, I've got to be on a raod trip to listen to something besides the engine; drives passengers nuts. In my Solstice, I've got all my CDs, my mp3 player, and 18 pre-sets. That 2.0L turbo isn't what I'd call "melodic." It's a fun car for all that, though.

I think your numbers are off. The 4200 number is worldwide coupes and the spreadsheet is only for north American cars so your mixing apples and oranges, but the point is it is a rare option.

So you mean to say cars actually have TWO drivers?

I dont understand your question, it's too vague.
