When i mentioned i drove it last winter without winter set and planning to get a good set of winter this year, he almost looked at me as if i'm crazy, and told me this car is out right impossible in the winter even with winter tires. finally he concluded that the car is a expensive girl car with okay performance.

I didn't bother trying to convince him, but i can't help wondering, Why all the Z4 hate???

mechanics, tyres shops ......
In Italy we say:
" who knows , does. Who doesnt know , teaches....."

they think it's impossible just cause they are not able to do it.
years ago I didn't use winter tyres and I am still alive...also with my old BMWs and crap tyres on them....

don't bother too much with people like that....

I would have laughed in his face, then told the ass%^le to take his wrench go f$%k himself with it and to take my car off the lift right NOW!!!!
..said good day sir, and driven away.

If I was in a particularly jaunty mood I would have asked him sarcastically how the income from being a mechanic was working out for him, and if HE was going to be able to afford a $60k car any time soon. Of course that would be the last words I yelled out the car window as I drove away.

Sometimes I enjoy rubbing salt in the wounds of assH%%^s like this that just flat out deserve it.

I just hope he knew how much torque to put on your lugs. Sounds like car envy to me.

I have an E91 too, thats not the same suspension. Might share a part or two. So what.

Best thing to say to this guy:

"Hmmm, I see. And what do YOU drive?"

i guess its like the Beats headphones. lots of people hate it because its not "worth the money" but people buy them. guess the phrase "haters keep hating" applies here
