Very nice! I have almost the same spec. I would love those seats though. The base seats are not supportive. Coming from a 993 i'd be interested in your impressions!

I love the original Z4 in that colour with those wheels! Classic!!

Congratulations!!

Because of the raised hood line, the Z4 gives the illusion of the driving position being lower than in the 993. Steering on the 993 is hydraulic so can't feel much of the road on the Z4. Z4 also feels heavier but very fun to drive on twisty roads. Oh I'm averaging 20mpg now vs the 993 at 13 so saving some benjis!

If you sold a 993 you probably have enough left over from the Z4 purchase to pick up a 996. Same hydraulic steering, *much* stiffer body structure, more powah than the 993, and still cheap for a P-car.

Yes, I had a 997.1 for awhile. I am actually considering getting a Z4M coupe. The e85 just feels too heavy.
