4 week update
It's been 4 weeks since I picked up my car at the Performance Center. It's been operating flawlessly and is a blast to drive. I've just about finished the break-in (700 miles was getting back from SC).
Driving around town and in parking lots, it generates lots of looks. The #1 comment I get is "Love the color." Yeah, I'm happy with Thundernight. It's attention getting, but not over the top.

I'm at the 8 week mark and the car has exceeded my expectations. Absolutely love it. The one and only complaint I have is I really wish ventilated seats were an option.

Unfortunately I don't think they'd work that well with the sport seats and the comfort seats wouldn't be right in the Z4.

My Porsche Carrera had ventilated seats and they weren't any larger than the Z4 seats and had about the same adjustments.

You can get them in M3/M4 and those seats are sport seats as well. Who knows the rationale behind it

I'm 5 months into ownership and 5000 miles - it has been a great car. Especially happy with the engine and agility. Also get compliments on the frozen grey color - most people ask if it's like that from the factory or a wrap. |

I did a 12-month review cause after that period of time, i certainly still loved it, but also kind of found things I didn't love so much lol. Overall i'm still completely enamored with the Z4.

There is no such thing as the perfect car but IMHO my Z4 M40i is loads of fun to drive and I look forward to getting behind the wheel every day!

As fun as this was... still does not come close to the long term good vibe feeling I get from the Z4. Can't wait to get behind the wheel of the M40i. |
