Yeah, I like Misano more than Portimao too. Wish they hadn’t discontinued it.

In South Florida, there are still some 30i and M40i Misano blue cars that show on the BMW USA site as arriving soon. They must have been the last of the 2022 production.

Does anyone have the seat belts with the M tri-color stripes? I’ve seen them on a couple of YT videos and love them. The interior in my reserve has the Alcantra which has the tri-color on a portion of the seat piping so the belts would look awesome! Maybe only available outside of US.

I don’t think those belts are available in the US. I have the tri-color portion on my seat piping in my current car, but the belts are just plain black.

I do (Canada); it's just the three colored stripes on the edge of the seatbelts? There are a few differences between US and Canadian Z4's; we always had the shadowline option and our M40i's come with a little M badge on the fender...

Also, my vote is for Portimao Blue. I love dark blue cars and would've gone for it, had it been an option for my 2022.

Think the 135is 6MT had the best stock BMW exhaust sound of any BMW I ever owned.

Oh me too. I wish they'd offer the color in the US. The Frozen orange is sooooo pretty.

I am curious about Scyscraper grey on Z4

I could never figure out why they would offer these striped seatbelts in Canada and not the US, it just doesn't make any sense. They should be standard on all of the M40i's wordwide.

The same holds true for the side M badge that you get in Canada and they also have in Europe. Why aren't these standard for all countries?

My guess is because of the very low number of people in the US who want them.

100% Thundernight. I want a purple car so bad. I would get the M2 in Thundernight or Daytona Violet if it were possible to go individual but it cannot be.

Yep, it's a bit of a mystery IMO.

I saw the Skyscraper Gray on an M8 Competition while on the road. I did like the color, personally. It was almost slightly greener version of the light gray.

Just put in my order for a '23 Z4 M40i last night. On the way out of the showroom we passed an SUV in the Skyscraper Gray. My wife commented that it looked a bit green to her.

Ordered the Z in the Red with Ivory interior.
