The problem with the new Z4 is that there are not many options for the interior of the car, especially for the seats. Only black, white (more dark or more light, almost the same) an red. Not even brown, which could suit very well with many exterior colours like black, white, orion silver, blue...

Well, I place the order for mine....I don't have a build week yet though.
Z4 sDrive35i Alpine White Black Kansas Leather (Terracotta not available) Ash wood trim (would rather have grey wood...only available with white leather) 7 speed transmission Sports package Premium package Premium sound package Comfort access Navigation (mainly for the nice iPod/music integration) I am pretty excited. I really wish I could have ordered the storage package by itself, I can't say that I want anything else in the cold weather package. I debated for a long time on color. I think that Alpine White and Space Grey show the lines of the car best. I was also very torn on the Deep Sea Blue because it looks awesome. In the end, white it was |

sounds great - look forward to pics (under the thread I created about delivery pictures)
White might be my choice as well with red interior..

For me it is a reasonable decision.
The 23i is cheaper to buy, cheaper to drive (fuel consumption, wear, depreciation, etc.) and if you are not looking for the ultimate racing machine it also offers enough power to cruise along. After all the E89 (in my opinion) is a comfortable fun ride which can be sporty if you want to (with the adaptive suspension). So why not go for the 23i and save some money... PS: In Europe with three models available I personally believe the 30i does not make any sense. You either go reasonable (23i) or ultimate (35i) but the inbetween (30i) is somehow neither of the two. Just my two cents. |

No and I think nobody outside BMW has so far...
I am deriving my guesses from my experience with other BMW models I have owned (or am still owning). Similar power, similar weight, etc. After all if I have to choose I am more going for the looks and less for the ride (which does not mean that the ride is not important to me). I firmly believe the ride quality of the 23i will be sufficient for me - but this is something everbody must decide for himself. |

Yes, another silly restriction...
Like not allowing fine line anthrazit with nothing else but pure white or offering only red, black and beige/white (which are both very light colors) leather, and and and While I understand the economic reasoning behind it, I thought that if you want to go for maximum market penetration (fighting the SLK) your chances are higher the more flexibility you offer. But then, this may come and they may just restrict it to keep the quality and costs under control while launching the new car... |

You can change my configuration back to "black saphire" again. After seeing the pictures of the black one with the Design Pure White interior from "BMW WELT" I changed the exterior color back to my first choice... so bye bye deep see blue...

Three weeks ago at a BMW car show, have ordered a 23i, deep sea blue, beige leather, 6 speed steptronic, 17" 292 rim as standard (have to pay a lot for rim upgrade!!). They flew in a deep sea blue 35i with ivory white leather for the launch......beautiful!!!
Now confirmed mine will be made in May, delievery will be sometime in August.......... Hong Kong is thousands of miles from Germany ....... Last week, they shipped a silver 23i and I got test drive today. Really good... engine is more powerful than I expected. Tested on uphill twisty roads on sport mode, good response on throttle, steering heavy enough, not too much body roll and I am sure 19" rim with low profile tyres will break my back except your car will on on smooth surface all the time. Dealer have no idea why they got a silver 23i which is not showing the lines at all. They got nearly 100 orders now, mainly 35i and 23i, black, white and blue are the main colours. |
