I just received my photos from US129Photos.com. He got some great sequences of the Z4 in action. Here are just some of the shots. I definitely got some lean in the turns and yes there is 1/2 inch of sidewall left.

Very nice photos and that Z4 is a thing of beauty.

What suspension settings were you using and how fast were you going?

I believe I was in Sport mode. I ran Sport+ a few times but not often.
I don't recall the speeds in the corners. Most turns were taken pretty close to their max speeds but that was only 40mph max as tight as they were.

Yeah, I think the Z's stabilizers are wimpy, but to stiffen them much would have an adverse affect on ride quality so I'm sure that's why BMW made the compromise.

Still a blast to drive, right?

That site is excellent. Guess there a lot of rock slides in that area?

Here's a couple 'tube videos - the main video footage capturing a slide in progress and another one with Leno picking a flower and causing a rock slide.

Listen to the supervisor say in the first one: "The mountain has came off." lol
