What, you aren't driving Sport Individual? Mine lives in Sport individual, unless throwing into cruise control. Shoot, that reminds me, dang thing kicked itself out of Sport Individual and into Comfort in the middle of a hands on wheel, steady state nothing happening drive. Was driving along, happily doing TX speed limit, and suddenly, I thought my engine / trans /something died. . . less revs, pressing gas didn't have exact same effect, etc. Took me a second to realize that it switched itself into Comfort--read about that happening to somebody else, but first time it happened to me and it was a big check systems ready to hit ejection lever moment.

Agreed on Sport individual. I like how the Z4 engages your last-used sport setting when you press the Sport button. One of the reasons I like BMWs, little details like that. Slightly off-topic, but taking that attention to detail a step further - before I shut off my car, I put it in manual fan mode at half speed (4 bars) and maximum temperature for 30 seconds to clear the A/C condenser and dry out the system (avoids the moldy smell). I then hold the fan down button for one second which turns the system off, a little shortcut instead of pressing the down button a bunch of times. The attention to detail bit: holding the down button for one second does reduce the # of fan bars by one before it shuts the system off. But, next time you go back into manual fan mode, it will have the same # of bars as it did before you held it down. I.e., the system realized you wanted to turn it off and not reduce the fan speed.

Looks like you’re a new owner. I’m waiting on mine.
Do you mind giving me some details about your experience? What build did you get? Packages and options and how long did it take for you to get your vehicle from order to delivery? I’m trying to get a feel for how much longer I’m going to have to wait. Thanks. Last edited by HokieBeemer; 10-14-2021 at 03:48 PM.. |

So glad you mentioned this I had noticed a moldy smell in my current 440i when I turned the ac on. I rarely use the ac and will try this and see if it goes away.

We will have to agree to disagree on this point as I have always broken in my cars.
However in honor of this discussion I am downloading this song and will start playing it when I hit 1245 miles. Needless to say the top will be down and I will be blasting the HK sound system. 1250 miles, here I come! |

That was 1986, I used to pump up the volume with this song, in my 1985 c4 corvette which I still have.
This song used to drive my adrenaline up, driving like is not legally possible nowadays. Back them you could drive at 150 milles per hour, now, at least here, you go directly to jail.

Well I just hit the magic 1200 miles number and floored the Z4 in Sports Plus mode. The top was down and the temperature was 80 degrees. It was a perfect night to go for a drive and my wife asked me to change my planned play list and we put on Take it Easy by The Eagles instead. It truly was the appropriate song to play on a night like this!
PS, I pulled over to take the picture. Last edited by Westside Guy; 10-17-2021 at 07:16 AM.. Reason: corrected a typo |

Sport with stick left around town & general driving. Comfort on the interstate to get 8th gear for mileage. Over 30mpg @ over 80MPH 400+ mile round trip
Car still hits hard when cruising in 8th. Normal eastern NC interstates will run 85mph with fast lane traffic. A WOT punch to pass will put you into triple digits right now.
