I'm sorry, you are an American and having a go at the English food...would bangers and mash be ok if it had large fries with it!!?? Also i don't recall USA winning the world cup!!?? Roll on South Africa, and we'll show you how to play 'soccer' !!!! Early bath for USA.

And to get back to the topic....LOL.....why would you want to reverse while putting the roof up???

Just some friendly trash-talking. I don't think fries would help B&M taste any better for what its worth. I spent about 9 months in England and enjoyed myself greatly. I always root for the 3 lions in international competition.

As far as driving in reverse, I was just testing out the Smart Top module in different conditions. I was simply backing up my driveway, so no crazy Jack-Ass stunts being performed here. Having a rear-view camera would just be "More Cowbell"

The Madonna one, which is quite funny b/c she loses bladder control after her ride, was directed by her then husband..Guy Ritchie.

I bought the DVD off of the BMW site a couple of years ago. At the time, if you owned a BMW, you could get the DVD for free.

Can't forget this one either. It features not only Clive Owen, but Gary Oldman and James Brown:

I would normally jump at this opportunity but my location on the East Coast is keeping from this. I even offered to fly someone out to Pittsburgh but that wasn't logistically possible.

Tom at EAS is looking for someone in the SoCal area to do a rear-view camera installation to provide a DIY instruction for the Z4 forum.

Anyone interested should contact Tom for details.

I do have an iDrive screen as well as the PDC. As I've said before, I love gadgets, a rear-view camera is just a little more icing on top of a very delicious cake.

Maaij · 03-05-2010, 11:55 AM

Will the normal PDC screen works? CAn you choose between these 2 option?

The license plate of the Z4 is very low. Don't know how this effect the rear cam module?

mikeinaustin · 04-14-2010, 09:21 PM

anyone install this module yet?

Vintage · 04-14-2010, 10:31 PM

more toys are good for the big e89 toy. MIKE-IN-AUSTIN, my wife and I will be in Austin May 7-9 to look at homes; yes, business is probably bringing us south in the next year. maybe there are a few Z4 owners your way that would like to meet for lunch on Saturday?

mikeinaustin · 04-14-2010, 10:37 PM
