Yep, I just passed 300 miles on my Z4, so I still have a way to go before I can get past the boring drives.
Trust me, it is worth the wait! 👍🏻

I know, but it is REALLY hard to keep the RPMs down.

For those of you that have gone with the IND color matched front fender reflector insert, what did you do with the LED light behind the OE lens? I've not taken mine out to research it. Just remove the bulb or what?

I'm betting that you don't even own a machine like the one on the left in the photo.

Well, mine shoots out frozen water. I'll bet yours can't do that.

That's how you pile it up so children can eat it for fun.

Actually, COKen's advice is spot-on for you and me, with our frozen paint jobs. The paint might melt if we don't use frozen water for washing.

Does that mean I need to open up a car wash for frozen painted cars?

Installed an intake tube. Got a few more turbo sounds. Still kind of need to know what you're listening for.

Took my little buddy for a spin. He's 16 but he's still got lots of spirit and loves the sunshine!

Just replaced my paper plates. Now have just over 300 mile on it and it is now snowing. Yesterday I put the top down for the first time. Temps were in the upper 50s, but it was very comfortable even on highways with a limit of 75 (did you see what I did there?). The buffeting was very minimal and was much less than in my 2002 M Roadster. Liking this car more and more every day.
