If you are tired of the car or have lost faith in BMW, good luck because you likely take a bath if you try to sell or trade it.

I feel bad for you but such is life. Good luck.

B) Trade the car in and leave the BMW behind after 20 years driving them, find something more reliable that will indeed give JOY

C) Last but not least fabricate a nice round glass table using the wheel as main support and a good conversation piece.
Rolf, your cross-country journal indicates that you had a hell of a good time in your Z4. The last chapter is a disappointment, but somehow I think regardless of how it turns out for you and the wheels, you can enjoy your Z for many more years to come.

I totally agree with rmorin - get yourself some 18" forged wheels, some nice Michelin Pilot Sport tires and put it behind you.
