Why I love driving my MZ4...

Alright, so I do not have a lot of driving experience as I have only really driven this car and my old 328ci. This car just wows me.

From 1st gear to 6th, i am just wowed. I have the biggest grin the entire time. Its like controlled chaos. I made the right choice of picking this car over the 335. I can't wait to take this thing to the track and really see what it can do.

I've only had this car for FIVE DAYS and the car already has a spot in my heart. I just love it.

I just went for some spirited driving, as I was in a slightly sour mood, and I now feel amazing and want to share my joy with you. I find myself turning off music just so I can hear my baby

I agree and often turn the music off to hear the engine.
Its best enjoyed with a wall on one side to hear the sound bounce back.

Shhhh... don't mention this on the E90 forums!

Nice to see you're enjoying the beast.

My car puts a smile on my face every time I start it. The only times I'm not happy is when I HAVE to keep the top up. Even today, I put the top down, and froze my @ss off with this 60 degree weather . Tomorrow, I'm wearing a scarf and maybe a hat.

I love mine more every time I drive it. My wife has a 335 and it's a nice, quick car that handles well but it's not an M, but owning this car was what pushed me over the edge to buy the M as the 335 was my first BMW.

Going from an Elise to the M, I thought I would be making some compromises with regards to performance. After the first mountain drive I saw the light- I was surprised just how little I had to give up. The M is a GREAT value in it's segment today, even more so with the end of the year deals. Out of all the cars I have owned, this is the one I have had to do the least mods to to be completely satisfied with the car (ask my wife, this is saying a LOT )

Not only do I think about it (being on forums during work doesn't help) but occasionally break down and go for a drive to break up the monotony

Mine has been sitting in the garage for the past two months thanks to excessive snow fall (grrrrrrr). Luckily the 335xi has performed splendily during the winter stretch.

5 days??

Mine had me at hello...


And I must agree, last Saturday was 4deg C and it rained the whole week before so the roads were salt free... Definately had the biggest grin ear to ear in a long while.

thumsup:
I can relate to all of that, for me its cheaper and better than any prescription or therapist I can imagine. If i'm feeling stressed all I have to do is take it out to my local coastal twisty road and *EVERYTHING* melts away as the smile grows on my face!

LOL... My freind has said about me, "if it's not raining.. the top is down" and that pretty much nails it on the head. I keep a knit hat [a.k.a. beanie] in the car at all times just for those days [ or nights] when it gets too cold] OH.. and 60 is freezing?? HAHAHAHA!!! I live on the Northern California coast where it's in the 50's during the summer! 60 is a heat wave.. Any day it hits 60+ I get nothing done because I'm out driving

I'm out of town on business all week and all I can think about is getting home so I can drive it... Until them i'm just sad...

Is it wrong that a material object should carry so much significance? If so, i'm not sure I want to be right.. I love my baby.
