I am a new member... hello
2 weeks ago, i tested new Boxster, TT, SLK and Z4 23i, but finally ordered a Z4 35i (with traded in a BMW 320i). My version is automatic transmission with Double-clutch. I loved handling and appearance of Z4. The BMW sales guy told me the production time will be around June and deliver to me around Sept. I still have to wait for such a long time..... I ordered the Z4 35i with Black Sapphire color and interior also black. It may be little bit boring. But, i still think it is good. |

As I said in my earlier post, the dealer flew in a 35i for car show in late March and started taking orders. The 1st batch is April which the dealer had pre ordered with some options added. If you like one of those you can take it. If not, you can order yours for production starting in May or June like WP's 35i. The actual delivery will be 3 months after the production date (I think the dealer always tell you they need that much of time so that buyers will be pleased if the cars arrive earlier than expected).
The test drive more or less started this week for guys who have placed orders. The dealer got a 25i recently for demo too. Therefore, we can test drive the 35i and 25i depending on which one you have ordered. My agent said test drives have been fully booked and those who already ordered have the priority to test the cars first. Fair enough. Can WP tells us how you feel about the 23i (in titanium silver which is far too common and not pretty at all) or have you got a chance to test the 35i (in beautiful deep sea blue) yet? |

I tested i23 before placing any order. Perhaps, my agent was aggressive enough to flight one for me. Before testing i23, he even arranged a 135i for me to "feel" the twinturbos engine. Frankly, i loved it so much. The sound is amazing and the acceleration is very smooth and quick. When i tested i23, i was surprised that its engine is still very powerful and enough to hit your back during acceleration. I rided it through a highway (Kwun Tong Bypass) and uphill and enjoyed it for around 30 minutes. But, after thinking and thinking, eventually, i selected i35 because of its engine and transmission.
Yes, i also think titanium silver is not nice. I always like darker color especially black for BMW car. I didn't know i35 is also ready for testing, really?? I will ask my agent... One thing, when driving with top down, the wind blew the head so much. So, i think wind deflector should be ordered. But, i heard 80% tax will be added with ordering it with the car. I may order it later. |

Regret that I could not have the roof down as it was drizzling a bit yesterday.
To be exact, any option ordered now is subject to 85% tax!! A real rip-off by the government!!!!! Neverthelss.... I have to order the lunbar support which can't be added later on.... and in fact this should be standard equipment rather than option!!! My agent said they are worry about the ivory white seats of the 35i will be soiled sooner than the tank being emptied. So, the 35i must be up for test drive. |

strange that you guys allready have test drive the cars. I work at a dealership and our car is at the harbor now but we are not allowed to pick it up yet, because they dont want us to show it for costumers yet.

The dealer in Hong Kong can arrange test drive for us. I tested it almost two weeks ago. It is a demo car. I think it should be the same case in Europe??

Has this been sanctioned by BMW?
Quite honestly, this is a slap in the face to every paying customer world-wide. While having the opportunity is nice for you, I have to say what company is this if they can't enforce their policies. This may not be a popular opinion but this is how I feel if I read that in certain countries people are being allowed to drive the car before the official launch date |

I am not sure whether it was approved before official launch. But, i know many of us can do that before or after ordering it. Anyway, hope you will get it very soon and really enjoy the own car. I still need to wait for at least 5 months !!!

Be honest, I would rather not to test the car but to have the car deliver to me much sooner! At least some of you guys in Europe don't have to wait for so many months and can even go to Welt and collect your car! And now, I can only look at "my car" which appears on my pc wallpaper for the next few months!! It is a bloody torture!!!
