Therefore, you don't simply say Z4. You have to say "Z4sDrive35is" Try the same with a 3-series (or virtually any other BMW model) and the exchange is so much easier. I drive a 335i or I drive an M3. People know instantly what you've got. Period. The name is stupid.
What's stupid is trying to impress people with what car you have or how much you spent on it. I bought the 'is' because _I_ wanted it, not because it would impress anyone else. If anyone asks, I'll say Z4.
