New to the forum and the Z4M

No_Dominion · 07-03-2012, 02:14 AM

Greetings to everyone,

As I'm going to be the proud owner of a 2007 Silver Grey Metallic Z4M Coupe later this week, I thought it fitting to join this forum. I've lurked for a few days now and it seems there is definitely a wealth of knowledge on this board. I look forward to getting to know everyone.

I just sold my '04 Crossfire today, will be picking the M up Thursday and getting to know her with a long drive back home.

I'll post pics of the M when I pick it up.

Cheers!

Skuronen · 07-03-2012, 05:27 AM

Look forward to the pics! Welcome aboard.

They are nice looking, aren't they? But I bet the OP is going to find a major difference when he piles on the gas in the ZM!

Welcome, and great color choice!

funny I too went from a crossfire to the Z4C, the crossfire was a fun car, but you won't regret the move

AUTOX08MC · 07-03-2012, 12:43 PM

Welcome...I am also in Indy

mhughett · 07-03-2012, 02:46 PM

Op, where did you have to go to purchase your car?

That is unless he had the SRT-6 version

Tonybest · 07-03-2012, 04:29 PM

Welcome to our world... you'll love it. Congratulations

No_Dominion · 07-03-2012, 05:57 PM

Sorry for the delayed response, was working a bit today.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, this definitely seems like a quality forum.

To answer the questions from various members:

The Crossfire was not the SRT-6, unfortunately. Still a fun little vehicle, though. It's what got me interested in the 2-seater models, so I'm definitely thankful to have had it. I'll try to put some pics of her at the end of this post.

AUTOX08MC, glad to see I won't be alone as an owner here in Indy. This far north I imagine they get a little bit less common (not that it's a bad thing to be unique.)

mhughett, I'm purchasing the M from a dealership in Houston, TX. Believe me, I tried to find one closer, but it was the closest I could locate that was the color I wanted, coupe and less than 35K miles (not to mention a decent price.) I fly out Thursday morning, it's kind of like the buildup before Christmas when I was a kid; don't think I'll sleep much Wednesday night.

Well, now I'm going to give my shot at posting some pics of the Crossfire I sold. Lets see how this goes...

Yeah I remember the night before I flew out to pick up my car...didn't really sleep much that night. Come to think of it, I didn't sleep much for the few couple of nights before picking it up because I was so excited!

I'm already getting to that point, thankfully I'll have the holiday tomorrow to distract me. I put quite a bit of time and effort into this purchase, I just can't wait to call it my own.

I think the 17 hour journey home should be some good bonding time for me and the M.

dcun201 · 07-03-2012, 08:18 PM

Congratz Dom on your Z4M! I picked mine up like 2 weeks ago.

I did a 25 hr drive when picked mine up! its the best bonding time, theres no better way to learn a car than to be stuck in it for hours on end

Daaang, 25 hours? Where'd you get it, New York? I'm guessing you made that a multi-day trip?

I did a 24 hour trip from Indy to Boise back in fall 2010, but I had to drive it straight through due to a timeline. Can't say I'd like to do that long of a trip again without splitting up over 2 days.

I wish i could have, like you it was a time line thing. I think i got 4 hours of sleep the whole trip!

From Richmond back to San Antonio.

I think you'll love the M. Its a one of a kind sort of car.

Rick Hunter · 07-04-2012, 12:34 AM

Whatever you do, don't ever let it go.

Congrats and drive in good health.

VinnieAces · 07-04-2012, 01:04 AM

congrats man! definitely a nice upgrade!!

No_Dominion · 07-04-2012, 02:11 AM

TXZ4: Probably good that you were able to nap, I got a few hours on that long trip, myself, and they were definitely needed.

Rick: I don't plan on letting it go, Z4MCs are too rare as it is, I know I'd kick myself down the line if I ever did.

One more day until I pick it up...
