Awesome!! Wish you well for tomorrow. Good luck sleeping.....

SouthernBM have a track day at Sanddown on the 26th if you are interested in participating or stopping by.

VMZ432 is I.Blue, but she's too quick to see so it probably wasn't her. If you ever see a Z4 with a massive carbon wing and sounding like a prop plane.... that's her.

Looks great! Super clean.... gotta love picking up a new car.

No worries on Tuesday. Stop by if you like. But hopefully us Vic ZPost members will get off our asses and organise a cruise some time soon.... like... actually meet eachother and stuff.

Hope you enjoy the extra long weekend with the new beast!

Good to see you here Sia!

Had a great weekend zipping around with the ///M! I found a good tip - if you want to get the 3D 'perspective' view for the nav... on the main menu go into 'set' and then hold 'menu' button for ~10s - it will open up a new menu with VIN number etc. You can turn perspective on in that menu and then it will come up as an option on your nav.

Best thing I found about the car this wknd!... O and that it is ridiculously fast!

Uber!~ Thanks for the tip. I d/l the new software for a while already and couldn't figure out where the hell birds eye is. Now it looks snazzier

Finally got some pix of my ride...

Also, been thinking of doing full car white vinyl wrap or matte black. Been quoted 3k+GST by the fellas down at Exotic Kustoms. Any thoughts? Thinking too much about it has caused me to dream about it too....

Some action on this forum! lol!

Nice ride! Love the pics!

I think matte black would look awesome!

One of my friends in Melbourne has just bought a grey M coupe from Adelaide too! Looks like they are becoming popular!

Thinking of doing the CDV delete... anyone here have any experience?!

Didn't think the CDV delete did much for me. Most people seem to think it's worthwhile though, and the delete is probably a better idea than replacement with a drilled out part IMO. I think it makes her "slightly" more drivable. But not so much that you "need" to get it done.

Awesome pics! Nice work!! Been thinking about a wrap myself for advertising purposes. Would it be worth doing if it was all one colour tho? Wouldn't it be better to just paint it?

I love the matte look, but with the wrap at least it wouldn't be so hard to look after. How long is it expected to last?

Well if paint, it'll be full job, which would be in excess of 10k.
They say 5 yr, but can go up to 7yrs.

Thanks mate. I have learned to drive smoothly so prob won't need to go with the CDV delete!

BTW I saw your car on the FI website Damian showed me. I am bringing my car in for a 'intensive' detail in the next month or so!
