I guess if its not from a design house that has been around since the Plague, its crap.

The simple fact is we can't be in our Z4s 24/7, but at least we can take comfort wearing our car on our backs or fronts.

now I cant even get into my car. I have been waiting all winter to have the warmer weather and do mindless cleaning and put the top down, and now I have ripped tendons in my knee and I cant even use the car. My knee is swollen up like a baseball. My mistake trying to keep up with a 22 year old while playing badminton.

I'd recommend you see a doctor but I see you're in Canada so you may not be able to get an MRI or see an orthopedic surgeon for another 6 months. At least you may have a T-shirt to wear....Good luck with your knee.

you guys in the states are fed a load of nonsense on fox news channel. We laugh when we hear the crazy statements made about the wait times. I brought in my health card. Was immediately sent for xrays that morning. Saw a doctor an hour later and he ordered an MRI which was done two hours later. Results in three days. By the way, no cost. And we arent socialists up here. Free enterprise all the way baby.

I am willing to organize a group buy, have the shirts shipped to me, collect payment using PayPal and then ship shirts to each buyer.

I will PM Phuket to see if he can actually deliver shirts at $10 each. Shipping and customs may be an issue. I will report back as soon as I get an answer.
I have received some initial pricing and shipping information from Sujit in Thailand. I am confirming the numbers and available shirt colors and embroidery. Design would include the Z4 logo on left chest; curve Z4 graphic on back and initials on the sleeve. I am unsure of what he means by initials so I am confirming this. I will post details on the cost of each shirt including shipping as soon as I receive it. Bulk shipping to US will be the best option with me shipping to each buyer using FedEx or UPS. Basic shirt cost appears to be $10 for T shirt and $12 for Polo style. I have asked Sujit to post a pic of what the shirts will look like, front and back.

in Thailand, we can do the T shirt or Polo shirt with Z4 graphic + custom name (Embroiled) for less than $10 each
Bro in Phuket, let me know when you have them. Will take orders for Singapore E89 owners.

No offense intended. As a physician here I see the good and the bad. I also see some Canadians sent down for treatment by the Canadian government. There is no perfect system but at least the Canadian system is readily accessible to both Americans and Canadians....

a for profit system that allowed pre existing conditions to deny coverage and also allow 35 million not to be covered is harsher at a time when the vulnerable least need it to be so. My cousin became chief of surgery in Jacksonville for only one reason, and that was more money.

I don't see why a physician should be made to feel guilty for making money? I worked hard to achieve my career goals and really did not start my practice until I was 37yrs old. Its not the doctors that make the insurance rules anyway. I don't want to start a debate about health care on this forum but I'll jsut say there are just as many negatives with the new health care "law" as there are positives.

no one should be made to feel guilty for wanting to make more money. Thats free enterprise, and I think we all agree with that principal. The problem comes in with the insurance company for profit stance which was determining who was denied health care, and who was left out. Everyone thats a citizen should have health care.

sorry guys - I deleted my health-care rant after realizing that we all own Z4s, and that is what is important. let's just say that I feel better now and I represent a more conservative view of the emotional/sensitive PC world we live in now. i love ya all no matter your views, brews and BMWs forever - sorry for the mental lapse
