Sold My 2006 Alpine White

Dieter · 02-05-2009, 08:47 PM

Hello,
Never posted anyhting here yet.
Im Dieter and I live in Missouri ( Original Im from germany )
Last July I found a 06 Alpine White Trip Tronic Z4 3.0 with 14K miles at a BMW dealer. I got it on the spot !
Now 2 days ago I went back to the dealer, because my soft top would not open anymore....bad Hydrualics they said....all under warranty .
Well..... while I was waiting I was looking around on the Lot and saw a 2006 Z4 M Interlago Blue Conv. with just 10K miles on it !

Guess what Im drivng today
I just have to get used the stick shift again, first to second is a little rough, makes me feel like a beginner when that happen.

Well that is all for today.

Greetings
Dieter

Nice to see I'm not the impulsive buyer

Hey man- good for you. Isn't the drive home from the dealer the best. Hope you enjoy your beast as much as I do mine.

Beautiful! You're always going to have crappy shifts as long as the CDV "lock valve" is in place. Replace it. I would also change all fluids while at it (motor, gearbox, and diff) with approved oils. Best to start your ownership knowing all the fluids are new as well. Consider Red Line or Royal Purple for the gearbox.

Dieter · 02-06-2009, 07:51 AM

The Vehicle still got the factory free maintenance with it, so all fluids have been changed the service manager told me. But I will call today and make sure one more time, otherwise, I always can contact the Springfield Missouri Reliable BMW Floor Manager and complain. They are pretty good there, that is my 5 th. Car I'm buying there and I never ever had a problem.,.. and if so they will take care of it.

It sure is a Beast !! I'm very Impressed. I thought my 2006 3.0i was fast and responsive,,,,,,,,, but the M is a whole new world.
Brutal and will take no Prisoners

Congratulations! Interlagos blue is such a sweet color, it has many angles where it's either darker or electric. I wonder if BMW will bring back Estroril ... As for the 1 -> shift, try raising your shift point rpm and see if it makes a difference. My Zeck CDV makes a difference mostly when depressing the clutch slowly and the 2 -> 3 shift points but the best factor of the Zeck CDV is the lack of the slipping of the clutch.

nmulax · 02-06-2009, 09:34 AM

Congrats and great move! You won't regret the M at all.
