I am LOVING it.
I have finally past 1500 miles so I'm leaning on the throttle more. (M40i.) I've had the car over 140MPH, and I've had some sustained full throttle acceleration.
I fukcing love this this car. Comfortable for long drives/GT, kicks some serious ass in short spurts, sounds AWESOME, corners and brakes well over 1G..... Gonna have to take it to the track........ Happy Boy. |

That makes me look forward to collecting mine tomorrow.
I'm hoping this car will feel a bit special and be the type of vehicle I just want to go out and drive for the hell of it.

Oh, you will. My M40i is basically a toy, and weekend roadtrip vessel. Yet I find myself looking for any excuse to take it out over my other cars, during the week. I couldn't wait for the 1200 mile break-in period to lapse. Now that it has, and I can fully explore its performance potential, I have a permanent grin plastered across my face during and after every drive.

Luckily the wife has a new SUV for family duties which has made going to a two seater possible for me. Last edited by F20MAW73; 09-04-2019 at 02:48 PM.. |

"Storm Trooper"
Just picked up my new 2020 Z4 M40i about a week ago. Having a blast with it - so much fun! Alpine white with black leather interior and black interior trim. Nicknaming it "Storm Trooper"
My very first car (age 18) was a brand new 2 seater, Datsun 2000 Ragtop Roadster. LOTS of fun memories from those days. Now 50 years later and I am back in a 2 seater ragtop roadster . . . quite a bit more car than my old Datsun 2000 . . . but same level of fun! Also have (original owner) 2011 M3 E92 Coupe (Jerez Black) . . . naturally aspirated V8 . . . a monster still to this day. Gas mileage? Who needs gas Mileage! LOL |

Off the line - definitely yes. Top speed - ?
E92 is noted for lower torque and is a relatively heavy car. But . . . in the end . . . there is nothing like the big throaty and visceral "rumbling" sound and feeling of the big naturally aspirated V8 when started up! Now I have both! Yippee!

Planning a June ED and I would like to be out of the break-in period for a couple of high speed autobahn runs. Can someone confirm the break-in period requirement for a 30i Z4. Thanks! |

Spring Mountain! know it well and will be looking out for you - used to be member at Pride and actually in my wine cellar have a Pride barrel with a glass table top. Will be on the look out for you as also a member at Beringer and the road to Pride is just a hop away. That area where Napa and Sonoma counties meet is beautiful!

But my wife's cousin is CEO of One Hope Vineyards (next to Mondavi and across from Cakebread, I think).
