Beautiful! If we weren’t in a pandemic I would have opted for European delivery and driven to Switzerland. Maybe for the next one!
I believe that BMW has discontinued the European Delivery program.

Fantastic pix.

Yes they do. I have a 5 month old 5a. Suddenly died, motherboard is being replaced thanks to the Google warranty. Make sure to back up your unit. I lost all my SMS texts. I now do an archive backup once in a while.

Beautiful view and great color combination! I'm envious that Frozen Gray is available in all trims there. In the US, it's only available with the M40.

What did you do for the gas cap?

I ordered all caps straight from Verus.

I wonder how close the color of their blue cap is to my Misano Blue?

Very good at the whole trip, starting in Switzerland, going thru northern Italy (South Tyrol), western Austria and back to Germany. 5 days of a big smile in our faces

Your car looks to be frozen white (and is beautiful). Did you stealth ppf it? What am I missing as it was my understanding that Z4s could not be done in individual colors....

I often wonder why the European models have an M badge on the side of the car and the US models do not. Can someone explain the reason behind this?

Yep, it is Xpel stealth PPF.

I wasn’t sure wether I would finally do it due to price and the subtlety of the look, but went ahead and did it, anyway. There’s a few unavoidable and annoying seams, but I knew this going in. They aren’t too bad, however, and unless you are looking for them they are done quite well. Unfortunately, dust and dirt highlights them.

Overall, though, very pleased with the look (plus the protection!)

Hope I understand your question.
Vehicle would be produced with side M badge if 3DZ is eliminated. I believe store can ask. Have seen posts saying people have been told not possible but not why. Would like to know what the issue is.
My car arrived unbadged. BMW graciously added 320 by request with no charge to delete the rear model designation. I like seeing the option in the factory systems & on my window sticker.

That's exactly what I meant, even though I didn't make it very clear.
