PS: I think the suspension is softer than an '06 650i. It tired me out after 200 miles.

Although the Z4 is not exactly small, this will the first time in many years that I will depart from large, American cars. Even though I've dreamed of owning a TR6, MGB, Spitfire, or an Austin Healey since I was a kid, I'm older and 40 pounds heavier, so I've been a little apprehensive about getting one. People like richard in NC and yourself have helped in that regard because even after a few excellent Z4 test drives, my biggest challenge was a long day in the seat. I'm not worried about that anymore. Please provide the name and number for your window tinting connection. Thanks again guys for your help. |

I can see a 35i DCT Deep Sea Blue in my sleep, but lately can't get AW out of my head, which I owe to you and a couple of others who have produced some dramatic photo displays for mess'n up my program. Interior wise, I'm thinking about beige interior w/ ash wood, but to be honest won't know for sure until I get a good look at the dealer samples. The So Ca dealers haven't had any Beige interior Z4s. Photos of the Beige make it look a lot like Ivory White, and I'd prefer something darker like the Saddle Brown used on the X6, or better yet the X6M Cinnamon, but neither one of those is going to happen in the Z4. Who knows, I may end up with red or black. |

It's a Canon S5 IS. Not the greatest, but gets the job done.

It's clearly not the camera, but as noted excellent subject, nice settings, the subject framing and the processing that you did after the fact. Assumed you used Photoshop or something similar.
Ansle Adams spent a lot of time setting up his shots, but the real art took place in the dark room. |

Besides, I have a few friends that are just not into white cars, so I had to show them that white cars can stand out and look elegant & sporty in the photos.

iPhoto. Easy to manipulate colors.

Of course all of the leather is dyed, but over the years I have always gravitated to either black or some shade of brown for leather interiors when given a choice. For lack of a better label, there's something more "natural" about those colors. The red or blue or white choices always look striking on someone else's car, but I wonder what it would be like to live with it every day. (That said, I had a 1959 Triumph TR3 with a red interior with white piping and that was quite attractive.) Chacun à son goût. Cheers, Danny

Thanks! I have no desire to change anything at this point. I am very satisfied with my choices on all aspects.
