I Freaking Love This Car!

txz4 · 09-20-2011, 02:45 PM

just figured i would say... I LOVE THIS CAR. Puts a smile on my face every time i drive it. I knew it was going to rain two days after washing and two coats of wax and i still couldn't resist taking it on the short ride to the gym!!

List of cars ive owned in order, (im 22, but very good at negotiating a deal)
2003 Altima 3.5
2005 Mitsubishi Evo VIII
2008 Mercedes c300
2007 BMW 3.0Si
2006 BMW M
(all new minus the two BMWs which i bought used, and the Altima which was handed down)
Nothing ive owned has brought me as much joy, not even the Evo. When i see other BMWs ill always be able to think to myself, "but mines a better drivers car". At the end of the day other cars offer more speed, power, and luxury. But, the way this car does it just amazes me! I plan on keeping this car for as long as i am able.

I agree.. <3 mine daily

VinnieAces · 09-20-2011, 02:56 PM

yep, sometimes i still get that nervous feeling that i got the first time i ever drove her when i start her up in the mornings

inTgr8r · 09-20-2011, 02:58 PM

^that's because yours is brand new again.

Nikki · 09-20-2011, 03:06 PM

Yes!!!! Mine still makes me giggle.

ready for the rpi treatment? guaranteed satisfaction

gferil · 09-20-2011, 03:51 PM

Yeah even though I just got mine about three months ago, it has already ruined a lot of other cars for me. I travel a lot for work and rent a lot of cars, and before I used to be like "oh that car was kinda cool..or I'd buy that if I needed a bigger car, etc." but now every other car I drive sucks and I can't wait to get back home to drive my coupe again!

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Downside of owning this car is not knowing how it looks and sounds from the outside when one is driving it.

Z4maniac · 09-20-2011, 04:22 PM

The very thought of my Z4 makes me happy - from the inside!
I've observed that I've started to manufacture excuses to go for a drive, I no longer drive because I need to, I drive because I want to, maybe that is why they call the BMWs ultimate driving machines!

And as esqu1re just pointed out - its a shame that we never see the car from the outside, when driving it.

I let my wife drive the roadster across town and back to a family event the other night with my son aboard, while I followed behind in the Accord. I have to say, the Z4 looks mighty fine cruising along, gleaming in the late afternoon sunshine!

I think that could be why I love seeing rolling shots so much.

Couldn't agree more with folks who have posted above. I

this car! I always get that new car thrill every time I get in the car or just look at it!

EMP07 · 09-21-2011, 12:04 AM

I tried to sell mine twice to buy a p car. I failed.

But I retained something pretty exclusive and saved money at the same time

times a gizzilion. I am so jealous of seeing when people break their necks to turn around and see what's coming from behind. I wanna be that guy for a day (Can't be staged, has to be a natural event for to enjoy it)

That's what made me want mine... Until I bought mine I had only ever seen 2 coupes in real life...

One was driving next to me.. black M...

and then MONTHS later, I saw a white one zoom by in the opposite direction...

"Yup, that's the car I want"

z4mcoupe · 09-21-2011, 09:39 AM

I don't drive the M Coupe on rainy days, but I make a point to walk by her and touch her ass on the way out of the garage.

kdphan · 09-21-2011, 10:56 AM

I let my gf drive the coupe from emeryville to sacramento one time while i was following in my 330ci.

It's such a great looking car from behind and side. I must say I was a bit jealous at all the guys checking her out while I was following.

My face was literally like this

the whole time...

That was the longest 1.5hours ever!!!

Her comment after the drive: best car i've ever driven

I traded in my 2003 3.5 Altima(purchased new) for my CPO 2006 3.0i Z4 roadster and I traded my 1989 Mustang GT(purchased new) for the Altima, both were great cars but can't compare to this car

. It is my daily driver and I can't wait to get into it every morning

and after work

, it makes my commute great and I don't mind traffic so much because it means more time in the Z
