2020 Z4 M40i arrives tomorrow
Hi Everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster. As stated Carvana is set to deliver a 2020 M40i, white, cognac,9k mi. to my home tomorrow. I want to thank all of you because so many of my questions were answered by searching in this forum. I've owned a 1987 Mr2, a 1991 Supra turbo, 1987 911 targa, 2001 S2000 [for 18 years] 2019 Mustang GT which I traded for this BMW. I'm hoping this car will bring as much joy as my S2000 did. I will post a review after I put some miles on the car. |

Congrats. I would have owned a S2k if I could have fit in it. The Honda did not like six footers. The BMW does though.

The Z4 might give you the best qualities of all the cars you've had. Congratulations! Post pics when it arrives.

Thank you all for the kind replies. The car had substantial scraping under the front end and many more stone chips than my S2000 had after 18 years. The mustang I was going to trade in had more miles and not a single chip. I rejected the vehicle, so I'll still be shopping.

Rock chips are indeed a problem on this vehicle. I have probably two dozen at 31k miles.
I bought it with 6k miles and a half dozen chips already installed, so the clear bra/ceramic treatment ship had already sailed. |

If you don't find what you're after, ordering a brand new one from BMW can be done at or under MSRP. There's a bit of a wait but you get exactly what you want. Charles

And don't forget about the BMW CCA rebate. It is only $500, but every little bit helps.

OP here. That is great news about new orders. I contacted a local dealer but they didn't even reply. I will have to expand my search. It would be so much easier without a trade but the tax savings of the trade in cannot be ignored.

I received a higher price with Carmax which far outweighed the savings on the sales tax doing a trade in with my dealer.

FYI. My dealer just got in a new 2022 Z4 30i, misano blue/black last week that is available. Isn't listed on their site as yet. If you're interested, let me know and I can hook you up with the right person there. Nothing gained by me other than seeing a happy new Z4 owner!

The rock chips on the other hand would be a big deal to me.....and avoidable; that's why my car has PPF. 2 cents, Dave |

I scraped up the underside of the 2020 I traded in - a LOT, not doing much of anything. It's pretty low it seems. Recently, I was strongly considering adding a front spoiler to the new 2022 I have in production (to make it even lower and attract more problems), but my wife helped me see the light (with the aid of a frying pan).
