Who says the Z4 isn't a practical car?

Heck yeah! I once carried two bookcases and a nightstand home from Ikea in my Miata. It looked ridiculous but it worked!!

Why not use the red minivan parked next to the Z4?

That's my wife's Lexus (actually, the dogs') which I usually borrow for this purpose, but it wasn't available when I needed it.

I daily drive my z4. I use it to grab things from restaurant depot for my restaurant. I do it weekly and I fill the trunk/front passenger side. People think I am nuts. But I have perfected the art of filling it

Keep it up! At the end of the day, its just a car. Gotta enjoy it!

Good to see people being versatile with their Z4. I don't think I could bring myself to do it. I had to move a big (empty no less) server box between buildings on campus last week and I was paranoid about scuffing the alcantara. So for me 2x4's would be right out.

I guess if there was really something I needed to do & the CRV was not available I could, teeth gnashing all the way...

My Z is, in fact, my only car... so I have no other choice when home projects beckon.

Don't forget, you have floor mats which do an excellent job cradling lumber against the read bulkhead/deck

That's a great pic. I love seeing people actually using their cars, even if it isn't in a usual way. I've made runs like these in some of my cars (Vipers, Lambos, Vettes and a few others). I made a run to Home Depot a few months ago in my Lambo. Left with more things then I had planned to get. I had the passenger window rolled down and a box sticking out of it. I was getting some very crazy looks. Lol. It was great.

I find it amazing that in a country where you can get soup delivered to your home, you have to use a Z4 to move hardware....
