Just picked up my Z4 3.0

After many BMW bikes I just picked up my 2010 Z4 3.0 in deep sea blue, 6 spd manual transmission, sport pkg, premium pkg and 19” rims/tires [dealer traded them from a 3.5]. It was very cold [-20^C] on the morning I drove home my car and the summer 19” tires really are terrible in any snow or ice [I live in Ontario]. It is now sitting in the back of my garage awaiting the arrival of spring with a trickle charger to keep everything ready to go. Every morning when I go to my garage to leave for work in my pickup truck I have a look at what I consider a beautiful car and can’t wait to drive it again.

Photo of my Z4

The car needs a wash but I am waiting for a warmer day to clean off the salt from the drive home.

Are the 19" rims an option anywhere in the world on the 3.0 model [here in Canada they can be optioned only onto the 3.5]?

N1 Looks great.....you can get the 19'' on any model in the UK as an option....I realy like 'em and i'm sure they are easier to clean than the multi spokes I went for.
Just the fact of pot holes on UK roads and tyre costs put me off having them, but they do look more AGGRESSIVE!! GRRR!!
