Our first tour of the season is coming up next Saturday, the 16th.
Before spending a lot of money on aftermarket stuff for your exceptionally competent Bimmer spend some money making the new owner a better driver. The local Porsche Club conducts Driver Skills schools at Bremerton Motorsports Park every month; best $55 you'll ever spend

I have to clean up my car. That first picture is so hot! The Z4 is the only car I like in red. Never thought I'd have a red car, but when I saw this I had to have it. Mine is a coupe though.

WELCOME RACERBRUCE!!! 99.9% of the folks on this board are really wonderful and are always willing to share information & experiences. The other .1% can be dealt with by using the "ignore" feature.

I also totally recommend BMWCCA's car control clinic or a similar driving program so you can really get to know your baby's personality and charm (they are not quirks! ) My only warning, as such, is to confirm in advance that the skid pad will be we WET. Finnegan and I just took my new-to-me Z4MC (also in Imola Red) to one and the tires got shredded on the dry skid pad: http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=367909 It was the only warm, dry day at Candlestick Point in SF in ages, too!

Oh well, we were going to replace the stock Contis anyway....

Congratulations and enjoy!
