Still has not grown on me. I loved my 2014 4 series, such a sharp looking car

What officially counts as a sale? Does my order (placed in January) count in these Q1 numbers, or will it count in the Q2 numbers when I take delivery (assuming it ever leaves the port)?

43% growth y/y for two years in a row in Q1… need that trend to continue… so happy I joined the Z club this year. It’s such an underrated car in the lineup

I really want that manual… love the ZF8 so might just have to stable two of these bad boys and keep the mileage down on the manual so it lasts for about 50 years

This. And then in 20 years you sell the low mileage manual on Bring A Trailer for more than you paid for it

Food for thought, if BMW offered some more exciting colors like you see on the Supra and other cars in the market that are aimed at a younger demographic don’t you think that the sales of the Z4 would increase?

Portimao Blue doesn’t pop, Frozen Orange which was the launch color and not even offered in the US market and Misano Blue which they discontinued were the only youthful, fun colors that they ever offered on the Z4.

Yeah, Poritmao is nice, but it lacks the pop of Misano. That to me is the type of color they need for this type of car (so sad they discontinued t for 2023).

Although I don't see ADDITIONAL colors reducing sales, I do think if they dropped some of the standard colors (white, silver, black) in favor of brighter colors, I think that would result in a solid decline in sales.
I suspect I'm pretty close to the target market for this car (54yo male), and I'm simply not going to drive an orange, lime green or yellow car. Not saying that there aren't many that would, but I think you get more sales in this car with more modest colors (if you are limited to a certain number of available colors).

I am not advocating that they drop any of the standard colors, I am suggesting that if they offered some flashier colors they would definitely attract a younger customer. Frankly the colors that they are offering for the 2023 model are pretty boring and they could use some flashier colors like pictured below. |

I have no idea why they only make a few colors available, but I'm sure it's cost/profit related.

Even if they just replaced SFR with a bright red (Toronto?) and PB with a bright blue (misano?) - no one would complain…
