The G29 Spotted Thread
Seen a couple of individual spotted posts in the forums but thought it would be cool to have a central G29 spotted thread; see how common our cars are in different areas; also might see each other! 👍🏼
When, What & Where... Quick pics are better (Disclaimer - don’t take pics whilst driving! )

I've only ever seen one other G29 and that was very close to a BMW dealer and had trade plates on it. I get loads of looks driving around with the roof down. I love the rarity of the car 👍

Have not seen one on the road but in the past not specifically looking for one. Of the less seen cars Ferrari, Lamborghini & McLaren are more common daily occurrences.
Z4 current version looks to be as rare as my FFR COBRA

In the 11 months that I have had mine, I have seen two other G29s (other than the dealership) - one red one that was parked and a white one on the road. They are either very rare or people don't drive them.

They only sell between 200 & 300 a month in the entire country. Would expect to see them in clusters by demographics.

I saw a blue one on the a14 near Cambridge on Saturday. It was on the back of a breakdown truck . Hope it was a new one being delivered and not a broken down one.

Wife saw one in DAL (Misano Blue M40i, with pic to prove to me--I was so sure she was wrong). I have seen none on the road, but have seen two Supras. Mine is an everyday driver, so assume there must be a few others that get driven like mine. Get daily head turns, window roll downs with questions / comments, thumbs ups, headlight flashes, waves, and, lately, mumbled face mask covered "yo, nice ride" comments, engine revs from passing cars, and etc. Wife borrowed it for a trip to the store few days ago, and my car got hit on by three diff guys--pretty sure it wasn't the wife--had to be the car.

I live on Long Island, there's a white 2019 I see in my office parking lot from time to time and I saw a black one just like mine on the highway about 3 weeks ago, other than that I have not seen any others, E85 and E89 sightings have also been down significantly over previous years, I think because of covid people aren't out as much.

Rare in SF East Bay. then again the neighborhood there are multiple ferraris, lambos, couple bentleys and 1 mcclaren. Seriously though have not seen one on the street yet but did see a launch edition Supra few weeks ago and one other supra on the road so this car in general is rare which i love (like my old Z4 M Coupe Interlagos Blue).
