Picked up my M40i

The day finally arrived and I have my hands on my brand new Z4 M40i courtesy of my main man TRL.

He's saved me the trouble of taking pictures myself as he's made me famous on his own Instagram. You can see the car here:

Just to prove I'm not some impostor I took a pic on the way home and one of it in the carpark from the window







The engines lovely, growls and pulls like noones business. The car also feels very balanced and the interior is gorgeous; luxurious and ultra-high tech. Most of all though I've been getting a lot of looks. I've had 2 people stop and ask me about it and even had a girl woo at me at the traffic lights

Congratulations. Awesome looking car. Now I can't wait to have mine which is going to be an non-identical twin as I have ordered the bicolor wheels

Absolutely gorgeous. As as someone who ordered one in Misano Blue, sight unseen, your post has helped to reassure me. I cannot wait to see mine in person.

Enjoy it!

Looks epic! I saw the photos on Tony's Insta last week and was wondering who the lucky owner was. Very nice choice, the Blue paint and Black pack go so well together

And here is mine! Had it for 3 weeks now and loving it! Owned 3 Boxsters and 2 911's. Not a race track driver and love the tech and gadgets in the new Z4. Fell in love when i saw the rear 😁

Any issues with driving the car with the top up in terms of visibility and blind spots?

Visibility and blind spots always an issue with soft tops when top is up, especially roadsters. The driving and parking assistants come in handy though

Anthracite Top yes. Looks like denims, slight silver tint to it. Very happy with it
