I fly more spacecraft before breakfast than most people do all day, but Nate has a nicer office.

P.S. Wish me luck. I'm going to try and land on Mars on "cinco de ocho".

Needless to say, happy as can be with this ride. I also have a modified 2004 Honda accord sedan to haul my daughter around as well.

Question for you all - been lurking for months and lots of you have amazing rides, with great mods. I hate asking, but what do you folks do for a living? I can barely afford my z4, have only the zhp knob and that's it. I can even replace the run flats lol.

Anyway just curious - or even age group. I'm 36...not sure if that average or old/young....

I got to age 70 2 months ago. I'm a retired physicist and emigrated from England 3 years ago. I got totally hooked on roadsters when I bought my first car in 1960 - a 1933 MG L type Magna which had a 6 cylinder engine - still the best . Two big problems now (1) my wife, who is much younger than I, thinks I'm past driving and hogs the Z4 and (2) our insurance company is loading me. Hey ho all good things come to an end but I ain't giving up without a fight !

43, and just bought my first sports car - a 2007 BMW Z4 M w/20k miles. Wife stays home w/the kids, but allowed me to indulge a childhood dream of owning a hot rod roadster. I head up a real estate development team and a sales team.

I'm a 40 year old physician. I work as a "hospitalist". I'm also the director of the hospitalist program. If you haven't been hospitalized lately, then you probably don't know what a hospitalist is.

We take care of most of the patients. We'll call on the specialists if we need any help with a case ie. surgery, cardiology, gastroenterology. You can consider us as the general practice guy within the hospital. Your primary care physician probably used to admit sick patients to the hospital. They usually don't anymore.

Anyone in health care knows that there's a shortage of intensivists. Same thing at our hospital. I also run the ICU which is more than just general practice. The sicker the better. I love taking patients from the brink of death to seeing them leave the hospital.

Besides all the clinical work, I'm pretty active in many hospital committees to insure we deliver great healthcare, patients are happy and of course, that we remain profitable.

I've always wanted a Z. First was the Z3 then the Z4. I love driving with the top down. It is the single most enjoyable thing I do in a day besides coming home to the family. I definitely drive it in a spirited fashion. Some may call it reckless. I prefer the term spirited.

Glad to see such a diverse group of BMW owners here. Coming to this site to learn about about BMWs has been real enjoyable.

not to thread jack, but im 23 and decided i wanted a career change(currently the CMO of a local company) to be a MD. Any helpful info you can give me? im 2 years away from my med school apps as im taking care of pre req classes now. Not sure what i want to specialize in but im very good under pressure so i would have to say that it has crossed my mind that working in a high stress/pressure hospital position may be good for me...
