Just got my new car - 3.0 Z4

Here're some pics I took just after I got the car.
Have a look. I'll post more later if anyone like them.

I didnt' like this car when I first saw it in pix, but after seeing it in person last week, I like it a lot. That's the first good interior shot I've seen and I kinda like it. Auto tho? Isn't the car heavier than the Z3 w/ same engine?

I think it looks ten times better than the stupid, boring Z8, for one thing. Cute car. What kinda performance numbers, or is it similar like the Z3 which isn't really performance-oriented?

i always thought the first z3 was wimpy looking but this one looks HEAPS better.... the front is very distinctive and the interior is very sharp and clean - no nonsense

congrats!

Yeah... I saw one of these on the road last night too. Looks nice. I really like the rear turn indicators.... the yellow light seems to expand when it blinks between the red circle... pretty cool.

JRock, what do you mean not preformance oriented? I don't know much about the new Z4, but I know the Z3 can be quick as hell.... Stock for Stock I think a 2.8 Z3 will be neck and neck with a CL-S as far as acceleration (and im sure it handles better because of the size) and a 3.0 Z3 will beat a stock CL-S in acceleration.

Nice. I saw one in person last night, it looks much better than it does in pics. At first I thought it was just a Z3, until I got a closer look.

Uh, Z3 seems to be for old people who want a little roadster with a BMW roundel on it. The M Roadster is the performer.

This Z4 is nice. Is this a replacement for the Z3? I guess since it doesn't have the M3 engine like the M Roadster/Coupe, it is. I like this much better than the silly Z3. 225hp in a 3000lb car is nice, although for close to $40k it's a bit pricey. Also I LOVE the way the rear end is designed.

Wow super nice car, yes I agree that this new Z4 looks way better than Z8. Do you still keep your 3.2CL Type S?

I like it a lot better than the Z3. The Z3 looked like a girls car to me.

The Z4 looks more aggressive & maybe even a little bigger. I'm not sure about the bigger part because I have not seen it in person yet, it looks bigger to me. Overall it's a sweet ride.

it looks NOTHING like an S2000. not in the least... not on the outside... not on the inside... not in the dimensions... not in the stance... not in the sound... not in the way it drives.

no relation.

that's pretty odd, quite a few people think that the new Z4 looks very s2000ish even bmw owners themselves. Different opinions I guess.
