Thanks guys, its a lovely car. Very expensive to run here in the UK with a government bent on massive taxation (2/3 of our fuel price here is Tax!).

I do love the car though, and yes 'CeEl' it has iDrive/Nav etc. I thought if I was going to go for a car and really stretch the budget, why not get the best engine with all the toys.. you only live once!

Love the white leather with black paint. Didn't have the bottle for that so went all black.

Every sympathy on the fuel costs - try a 35iS with an average of 23mpg at £1.29 a litre! I work on the basis it's only money and you can't take it with you!

Currently spending a big chunk of my salary just to get to the office to earn it

Usually arrive with a big smile on my face though

New Z4 3.5

Hi...I'm Jim from Glendale CA. Recently got my 2011 Z4 3.5 w/ M-Sport Option. Seems like a rare car, when I was looking there were only 3 or 4 in all of California with the M-Sport option.

I LOVE this car! Last 6 cars were 3 Corvettes and 3 Porsches and none were close to the Z4! The 7 speed with Sport + is killer.

Hi,
recent joiner and enjoyed the pics etc for research.

Currently drive a Montego Blue Z4 Coupe 3.0si but last weekend ordered a 30i M Sport which i'm hoping to be delivered by the end of June.

Thanks to Atty's pics, have gone for Melbourne Red with Walnut, with only a few extras of SatNav (free so why not!), heated seats, through loading, PDC and also got service inclusive thrown in for free.

Golf clubs and trolley fit in no problem so all set for the Summer !

Hi, Sam here, 27, for Westwood, CA. Been perusing the forums for a week since I got my new Z4 3.0i and love the site, very useful stuff here.

Exciting world of corporate finance is how I spend my days, all the while wishing I was out driving around (but these petrol prices are killer).

Used to have an 06 Z4, then went on hiatus for a while, and now I'm back with my '11... how I missed it!

Hi folks! I'm Chris from Battle Ground, WA (just north of Portland, OR).

I just ordered a Space Gray/Coral Red Z4 35i. Should be here in 45-60 days. In the meantime, I plan to squeeze every last bit of fun out of my 09 M3 before I trade her in.

Hey gang,

I'm not new but I just figured out how to upload pics. My wife and I picked up our beauty in Munich while on honeymoon this past Sept. Took 13 long weeks to ship home but she was worth the wait (the car). I have yet to see another E89 on the road in Seattle, let alone an iS. These pics were taken the day after it arrived home and I have since debadged it.

Placed my order

Ordered my S3.5IS today with the Citrus Yellow package, the craziest thing that I have ever done! Have had a 2008 with a manual tranny for the last three years and have loved it, but I got a feeling that this IS will be a solid replacement. Now just have to wait!

My new s30i

Looks a lot like one of the postings just above (except with a slightly different badge), but thought I would post anyway. Just picked up Thursday and weather has been gorgeous since I picked it up! Forgot how much fun a convertible was. Name:  BMW Z4 002.jpg

Thanks CFEN. Those are the 18" 325M wheels that come with the M-sport package. I didn't want to go with 19" wheels because the potholes are so bad here. These were my favorites among the 18" wheels. I'm pretty happy with them

Congratulations! That citrus yellow looks pretty amazing...I'm just a little to old to pull that off! Be sure and post some pics when you get it. The wait wont be as brutal as it could be since you're already driving a Z4. I'll be interested to hear how you like the IS compared to your 30 with manual. I really wanted to go with a manual, and decided to try the lighter weight NA engine in the 30, but I do miss the effortless torque from the 335 that I just traded in. Please post your views about the DCT IS versus manual 30i when you've been driving for a while. My lease is only two years and if I decide to stay with an impractical car, I'll give the IS some serious thought.

Wraith, that black with the 19s looks amazing! Those are my favorite wheels but the lousy roads around here would have destroyed them. I decided not to go with black because I'd never be able to keep it clean, but it looks absolutely gorgeous when its clean.
