Noob - Just Leased '11 Z4 35i - DCT
Hello all. Glad to be here. I just leased my '11 Z4, sapphire black with beige interior (sorry no pictures yet), DCT, NAV, sport and cold weather packages.
I'm coming from an '11 M3 convertible lease. I did like that car alot, but the electronic glove box failed 4 times! The dealer was more than happy to replace the component, but I was done with it. The Z4 has your standard issue mechanical glove box.
Most people ask how can I give up an M3 for a Z4, I say, because the M3 convert. was heavy (over 4100 lbs), with that said, the Z4 35i has almost identical performance numbers and is better looking in my opinion. In daily driving the Z4's torque make it faster from stop light to stop light. The M3 definitely wasn't intended to be a convertible from the ground up like the Z4, as it had noticeable chassis flex. I will miss the amazing sound the engine made though.
BMW corporate did help me get out of the M3 and into the Z4, so I can not complain about the customer service.
Again, nice to be here... love my Z4!
