A piccie of mine

Taken the morning I got it (25th March), when it was still clean...

After driving it for a couple of weeks (not daily use though), I can only say good things about it, apart from the following two points...

1. First gear is very short - I hardly get moving before I have to change, and added to the heavy clutch has meant for a bit of "kangarooing". I know it's meant for acceleration, but I do have to drive it in traffic as well.

2. As the reviews have said, it is not at its best over uneven surfaces, although I suppose confidence may come to me with experience.

Having said that, the pros certainly outweigh the cons - amazing grip, fierce acceleration (and that's without full throttle and only 5500 rpm whilst running in), stunning looks, a hood that actually makes you forget you're in a soft top and an exhaust which is quiet enough not to wake the neighbours whilst pulling away, but loud enough when necessary

I love it!

Congratulations, nice car

More pictures?

What specification did you order?

Is that the cream leather interior?

The colour is Interlagos Blue with Sepang Bronze interior

I also had a Tracker Horizon fitted for insurance and peace of mind.

I had the Harman Kardon upgrade in my previous 330ci, but didn't really use the stereo that much, so I decided that it wasn't worth the money for the upgrade in the Z4M. I can quite happily drive for a few hours without the stereo on, but the standard model is there when I want it.
