I love my car!

I can't wait to finish my breaking-in period. Starting to run the car at brisker speeds and love the handling, even the RFTs feel more grippy for some reason. Heck, even that noise from the alleged LPFP is dying down and either silent or barely noticeable. I can't get enough of the design, love the side and how the metal just angles and curves in such patterns. The front end of course is probably the best BMW has at the moment. Even the rear looks classy in an understated-sort-of-way. What can I say? I am with the car. That is all.

Hmmm...I thought the 35i have dual exhaust so it wouldn't matter.

But in a 30i..yes, the exhaust would be on the left side from the rear end of the car.

Whatever!

You guys drive on the wrong side on the road anyways!

Thx! Yup, same guy. I'm gonna miss those ppl over there at AW. They were quite nice and helpful and I was so close to getting the TTS.

When I was searching for a new car, it was a wild ride:

Its been almost 9 months since I've taken delivery of the vehicle and still love every moment in the Z4. Mind you that its my daily driver but it does everything that I look for in a car, except for the winter months when I need to fit a snowboard somewhere.

Once you go with an ECU upgrade of some sort, the real beast is unleashed.

BBK is a must if you go that route and a LSD should be icing on the cake

Congrats!

It's my DD also. I don't think that I fit the usu profile since this 2-seater is my only car.

Btw, what is BBK?

Thx!

Just drove it on the highway...wow...amazing, and still only using a fraction of its power since *still* in the break-in (arggh). Still, it's great...so smooth.
