My new Z4 Sdrive 30i

Dante · 07-27-2009, 01:30 PM

Hey fellas,

I got my new Z4 last week after a very short wait. It was a rather spontanious descision to get one. All started with getting a Z4 23i as a loaner while my E91 was in for an oil change. I instantly fell in love with the awesome road feel and the stunning sound of the engine. After nearly 3 years in a BMW diesel (which is awesome too, but...not so emotional!) this was so exciting, I sat right down afterwards with my SA. The 23i was fun, but I felt it lacked a bit of low- and midrange punch. So I settled with a blue over tan 30i (like in the brochure.) Shortly after that I had a look at the Titanium Silver thread and saw the silver over red car from Edmunds. Beeing partial to Titanium Silver I changed my order to silver over red, which I think looks fantastic and emphasises the sharp edges of the car nicely. The dealer had one preordered, so I only had to wait 3 weeks.
Well, and here she is. Hope you like her too!

Congrats on your new car. The spec, wheels and colour combo looks really good.

Thanks guys!

Great pics.

WilliamX050 · 07-27-2009, 11:39 PM

So clean! Is that your house????????

Dante · 07-28-2009, 01:09 AM

LOL, no!
The 'house' is owned by a crazy factory owner in my neighborhood. He seems to like living a life like a french King or something. He's producing fireplaces.

I just thought it was a nice backdrop for shooting some pics!

I have been to his factory once. He really got a strange taste. The offices (at least the executive floor) looked the same

Nice color combo. Silver is so easy to maintain too. I had 4 silver cars in a row, including a 2002 Honda S2000 with the same silver/red combo. The streak was broken with the Deep Sea Blue Z4

Excitmnt94 · 07-28-2009, 05:19 PM

awesome ride! she is a thing of beauty.

Dante · 07-29-2009, 01:09 AM

Thanks again guys!

Deep Sea Blue was my original choice, looks awesome, too!

Krill · 07-29-2009, 06:29 AM

Dante, your car is now my desktop background

Once you´ve broken her in, please post your feelings on the new 3.0 engine!

Cheers!

Dante · 07-29-2009, 06:37 AM

Wow, thanks mate! I'm totally flattered!

Will definitely post my experiences when I have opened her up!

Your car is so beautiful, with i-drive and ?19" wheel ?
Can you close the top with the wind deflector in place?

Dante · 07-29-2009, 11:38 AM

Thank you!

Yes, the top closes. The wind deflector is the part between the roll bars.

I haven't ordered the wind deflector with the car, do you think I can fit it by myself later?
Or I need to change the roll bars and have it fitted in the factory?
