Xpel PPF install completed! Pretty much everything except the rear bumper and trunk lid. Now my anxiety level can drop a few notches…

Just a few quick shots from tonight. I love the reflections

Thanks! They really got it right. I don’t get why this car isn’t more popular, but being rare is a bonus. I have still only seen one in the wild since I ordered mine back in March.

I've seen literally 5 ... ever. I've driven 2 of them.

Looks great!

Best value and most highly refined sportster on the market, not that I've driven very many. Reviews are many.

Yeah most every review I’ve seen for this Z4 has been great. Good gas mileage good speed, good features, decent practicality. It got it all. I need it for an everyday car, so The more reviews I see, the more I feel like we made a good choice.

Agree, it is a good choice if you can get it.

Back in 2019 I test drove the F-Type, Boxster S, TTRS, LC500, Miata and Fiat (just for good measure). For me it was the only one that had the features I really wanted like a head up display, wireless apple CarPlay and a heated steering wheel, combined with a comfortable everyday commuter car in comfort mode and could then become a beast when you put it in sport plus mode. BMW to me gets the electronics right with a good balance of simplicity of layout, accessibility and complexity.

When I drove the Lexus it felt like sitting in a video game with a mishmash of colors and features buried in menus, to me, very unintuitive. The F-Type’s electronics felt several years behind the curve. The Boxster had a beautiful classic roadster interior, but no head up display and no wireless apple CarPlay. As I mentioned before, the Porsche ride was too harsh and too loud for me to want to be stuck in stop and go traffic every day.

In the few days of driving since I picked it up last Tuesday I can honestly say that I love this car and that it has met or exceeded my expectations.

Dropped off the Z4 to get inspected/emissions/alignment. The indy shop I go to has classic BMW courtesy cars, I got this E39 525i.

aww ... a little banged up.

Funny cause now we look at those kidney grills and they seem so small compared to modern bimmers.

Pity you can't take the top down.

He could... but it would require going to Lowes and renting some hardware. :P

Kwajtrader · 07-07-2021, 10:17 AM

I enabled Alexa. It’s pretty geek-tastic! I’ve become a bit jaded when it comes to technology as our main vehicle is my wife’s Tesla, but I think BMW has done really well with a very complicated interface. The one thing I’d like to see is geo based mirror folding and homelink activation. I have both of those on the Tesla and they are nice features. It seems a minor stretch from the automated window app. I’m not sure if the homelink buttons are tied into the overall system, but the mirrors certainly are.

Let’s not forget the duct tape and crazy glue….

Alignment was a good idea; my front and rear toe and rear camber were off. Who knows if it was like that from the factory or got out of whack in transit. I had the same experience with my last two new BMWs, they required alignment from day one.

I'm impressed that the car has nearly -2 degrees front camber.

Impressive. I would have expected the dealership to have reverified the alignment. Thanks for posting.
