I guess this will be the thread we all discuss our orders!

My dealer said they got a 2025 allocation and as promised say that they gave it to me and have placed the order for my Z4. I'm supposed to get another message soon with tracking info and status and such.

Manual
SR Green
Cognac (std with door panels not exclusive)
19/20 ZED package wheels
ZDA Driving Assistance
ZHO Ext. Shadowline
Harmon Kardon

I was going to pass on the driving assistance but I thought the blind spot thing might be good for the times the top is up, and the park distance will help until I learn the corner locations of the car, so I went for it.

Skipped Premium, do not want the ambient lighting or the heads-up.

Shadowline to finish blacking out the car since so much else already was, and the "adaptive" headlights might be useful.

HK for the better system, I'm sure I'll do like I always do and add a sub one day, but I'm betting the rest will stay installed.

Good luck on your build, I really like that color combination.

I personally think that you are making a mistake on not wanting the HUD. Many of us love using it and I personally think that it makes a major difference when I am driving at night as I never have to take my eyes off of the road.

I have the same combination on order. There was a lengthy debate between Ivory White and Cognac, but I concluded that the white paired with frozen green would be more distinctive and unique.

Excited to see pics! It’s going to look great. Also, I’ve looked at a ton of Z4’s. I can’t recall ever seeing one without ambient lighting.

+1 on the HUD being fantastic. Shows the turn by turn info from Google Maps on Android Auto as well, which is really neat. I imagine on the manual it might even have some shift lights, which would be cool.

The HUD is the primary reason I went for Premium and DA (since it's required for Premium) as the park distance control can be optioned separately.

I don't really care for it, but it was a requirement to get vernasca leather or alcantara up until this model year.

I've been behind the wheel of an M6 E63 Convertible for five years (followed by an F12 M6, which is why I go by M6BEL ). Its Azurite Black paint paired with the Pearl White interior made for an eye-catching combination.

The downside of frequently wearing jeans was the transfer of blue dye onto the seats after some time. Thankfully, a decent leather treatment product made a (yearly) cleaning fairly straightforward, so I don't worry too much about the white interior for my new Z4.

White's funny, it shows some dirt fairly easily but it's almost impossible to see any scratches and swirls. My 135i I've had 13 years is white and it's a lot easier to keep clean looking than my black X3.

Interesting. Since I now am awaiting my allocation I’m considering white on white. Only issue is I do full ppf and the edges on white will show dirt at some point. I prefer dark exterior because of this but white on white is so sexy!

I had the same issue with my MINI Cooper S convertible, blue transfer to the white seats, but it was very easy to clean. I'd definitely consider a white interior again.

Is Tier 1 the best Tier available for getting best rates?

I don't think they have a "God Tier" available.

Yes, Tier 1 is the highest. 20 years ago the qualification used to be 720 credit score. Not sure about now. One of the banks I worked at used to auto-approve all car loans when the credit score is over 720, debt-to-income ratio be damned.

Going slightly OT, it is too bad they didn't make a Mini convertible on the 6 inch longer wheelbase of the 4 door model so you would have a semi usable rear seat instead of a fancy leather storage area for your shopping bags, small boxes and pets.
