Learned that one from my wife, who can drive this car so smoothly you hardly know she's shifted gears. Even with the CDV gone you still have to keep the revs up a bit to stay smooth.

Thanks I will try to give it some gas when shifting and see if that helps out. On my previous car I would always go completely off the gas for a smooth shift so I will have to get out of that habit.

Nothing wrong with that, dude.

Sometimes, when I'm walking towards the office, if no one else else is around, I'll turn around and look at the car and ponder it's great beauty. On the few occasion that others have driven it (mostly porters at the dealership) and I get to see it in motion in the third person, it's almost erotic.

I hear yah, my daily driver runs that way too, and I always have to adapt to the Z4M on those rare occasions I get to "borrow it" from Skelekitty (it's my wife's car, and that's her name on the forum).

Just one of the fun things about mastering this car!

this thread is quickly turning into a '1000 ways to know u're obsessed with ur m coupe'!

body shop manager called up yesterday to update me on the progress of my bumper refinishing, and made mention that he'd parked the m indoors in the next door chevrolet service center. says it's so clean and futuristic looking that the mechanics don't dare to go too near it!

gatorfast, please post pics of the interior!

Yeah, don't feel bad guys. As I'm pulling the the E92 M3 in to the garage I always look at the Z4M and think "damn, that's a great ass on that car". Then I get out of the E92, gawk at the Z4M, go to close the garage, gawk again at the Z4M. I usually walk in and say "hi, honey, man, that car of yours sure is a beauty". When I back out of the garage I stare at the Z4M.

My E92 gets no love. It's a great car and all (what I wouldn't give to have the S65 in the Z4M ), but it's not the sexy little thing the Z4M is. (The E92 is our "practical car" .)

Oh, and every time I go in the garage to work or get something I end up staring at the Z4M....

Seems to be the nature of that car--its siren song is so strong no one can resist her power.

You've got that right buddy.

Went to pick up the E92 from some touch up work on the bumper and everyone came out, not to get me my car, but rather to gather round and look at the Z4M. Then one of them said, "oh yeah, I guess we have to go get your car " and the low guy on the totem pole had to go get my E92. (The touch up looked perfect in case anyone cares....)

As for the nature of the thread, all I can say is that I think folks are getting their money's worth with this car!

I haven't been able to see my MC in the third person in motion, but i have seen another (blind32's) and it's just as sexy.

I really can't wait to have the time, most likely tomorrow night, to get my new wheels on, wash em all up and take some pics. I've noticed i've become quite the amatuer photographer since owning this car. haha. I'll drive past an open area or lake or something and say to myself, "man, that'd be a great photo op"

Congrats on the awesome car! I'm one of the guys who thinks that both the roadster and the coupe look amazing. In fact, if I could manage it, I'd add a second car in the form of a Z4 coupe to the driveway.

Cheers and enjoy!!!

Here is a quick cell phone pic I took of the interior when I first saw the car:

gah, i want! i'm not so sure i'd be happy with the 'superman' color scheme on my m, but the imola red is definitely unique and sexy. it plays off the carbon leather very well (and actually looks best against the grey poplar wood trim on the e90/e92/e93s). all black interior is a bit dull and unexciting, but at least it's easiest to keep looking clean and feels uniform. almost like there's nothing to distract u except the red m needles on the dials and the wide open road.

I would be down with the "superman" color scheme. Not popular, but I have seen it done once and it was awesome!
