I've had serious build issues with both my E89's on arrival (especially the paint).
Perhaps I have just been unlucky. All our other BMWs have been flawless.
Still the Z4 is by far my fav car. I love driving it so much and as I have a disability the daft push pull gear change is perfect for me.
Apart from droping £200,000 on a 458 Spider there is nothing else that comes close for me.

The 1M is the most rock solid car I have driven and this includes a e90 330i I had before and many other different cars. The outdated interior is a fact and it doesn't bother me a bit, in fact I like the simplicity of the car, for 1M it feels natural and it is quite ergonomic. Maybe I feel like this because am not a fan of electronics or monitors in cars and ordered mine without a satnav and idrive, or a power seat. I think it is much better like this. Most plastics feel hard and cheap though. I wanna cover all the plastic areas with alcantara sometimes! The paint quality is equally bad in the 1M, strange that even z4 is not immune from this disease. I hope this is not a trend in BMW, my 1997 318ti had a better paint job.
