Potential Z4 buyer in Sweden

SHADOW4 · 04-22-2012, 01:17 AM

Side rearview mirrors works fine for me when in reverse, I tend to use the PDC more to find the end of the front.

Damn, have to wait until wednesday ! This is killing me

Had a thought today I didn't think of before. How is the view when reversing the Z4? I have no PDC installed on this car.

Not the greatest visibility with the top up, but you can manage. Anyway, you're not backing out now!

I hope the mirrors will do. The roads are quite broad here, but I'm thinking about parallel parking and my very narrow garage. I hope it will be fine, I'm quite sensitive on the gas pedal

No, I'm not backing out of this deal now

Every one is happy, except my retired father. He just hung up the phone when I told him about the two-seater

The mirrors are just fine.

And your dad is just jealous.

My dad just called, asking me to come by the house tomorrow. He wanted to see the car..

SHADOW4 · 04-24-2012, 05:05 PM

Don't let him drive it!

He'll just tell you to go to your room!

Yeah he will probably ground me for a few weeks

Even though I'm 38 he still treats me like a child.

Then make him ask nicely before you let him ride in it.

drem · 04-25-2012, 02:40 PM

Yay ! I am now officially a Z4 owner

Too bad the rain is pouring down today. Good day to test the roof for leaks. There weren't any

I haven't driven around too much today, plan to take her for a longer spin tomorrow. The 23i motor (2.5L) is not a beast, but I actually found it to be quite suffient in Sport mode. I'm a cruiser, not a speeder anyway

Will take some more photos tomorrow and start a new thread.

I'm happy, and my father is not angry. That's good

rfx45 · 04-25-2012, 03:03 PM

Congrats!

But...

Well, more pics.

Alright, here's a teaser then, before the official thread

rfx45 · 04-25-2012, 03:48 PM

Nice, I see you got the M-Sport body.

drem · 04-26-2012, 03:46 PM

M-sport looking nice. But I discovered today I dont have fold in mirrors? Was quite surprised, thought that was standard on a car like this. The button isn't there. No big thing though. Had this car for two days and I really like it. The ride is very good. Fuel consumption at a surprisingly low so far, compared to my Saab Aero. A bit noisier in the cabin compared to that car, but that's no biggie either.

Too bad the weather has been completely miserable last two days. Sky is all gray and the rain don't stop. Pictures have to wait, but after rain comes sunshine eh?

jparnes1 · 04-26-2012, 03:49 PM

I have it..it's probably part of an option package. Comfort Access?

Don't know yet. I haven't actually read anything in the manuals yet, too much fun just driving

Come the weekend I will check everything.

Congratulations drem! Your drem came true!

Thank you very much Sir! Just waiting for the rain to stop here. It's been raining for three days now. Today at about lunch time, the skies cleared and the sun was shining. My hopes got high, friday and all, but when it was time to go home from work it was pouring again. I don't get it. They say the end of the weekend could be good, or early next week.

cdeslandes · 04-28-2012, 11:02 PM

Congratulations!
