Hi guys. For sure I will not let the car top down when I leave it during sunny weather and long time (even for some particules or something going inside, I am a bit maniac)

Welcome from Spain
As you can imagine, english is not my native language, but that doesn't look like a problem for you nor for me.
I got a black Z4 30i with the M sport package last year, thought I ordered it with white leather because in the mediterranean coast of Spain it gets very hot in summer.
Welcome again.

Hello Spain! I love your country
In Spain it can be very warm compared to my area even if sometimes its very warm as well here ! Its a pity we can not launch the A/C before entering the car..

[Amadeo]

Thank you
If you ever take a road trip to this area, please contact me. I am planning a trip with my wife along the coast, from Benidorm in Spain to Portofino in Italy, stopping over in Valencia,Nice,Montecarlo and Marseille.
Yes, its a pity not been able to remote start the car for the a/c to cool it down.
European laws.

Living in Texas light paint colors and seat colors is a must for me. Our Alpine White X5 cools off very fast after being in the sun for a while.

One thing lacking in the Z4 is ventilated seats. I start sweating when the temps get over say.....86F, top down.

Congrats on your build. Love to see some pix of your new ride in your beautiful country when you get it.

Good luck!

I concur. My solution is to go faster.

Haven't had an issue with being too warm in the car with the top down here in San Antonio. 92-96 degrees even stopped in traffic has been pretty comfortable. No sweating yet. Hell... one of those days I was even wearing a sweatshirt cause I was (thinking) i was on my way to the gym. Ended up having to take care of some house contract stuff instead. AC works really well.

I understand, but my pet peeve is running the A/C while the top is down. Makes no sense to me.

Try it a few times and you'll understand why it's such a good thing. Especially when you're stuck in Texas traffic. Even when you're moving, it's nice you get subtle and refreshing blasts of much cooler air and it feels so great.

Looks great! Congrats!

Thanks guys. Administrative process on progress and then I will take delivery. Currently driving Dad's collection car which is a French classic one : Citroen 2Cv
I think the change vs new Z4 will be huge

Definitly
Does it happen to some of you to come in your garage just to contemplate your Z4?
I may do it

I remember doing it a lot with my brand new Z3 20 years ago. With my new Z4, I seem to do it less but still do it.

I have to admit it, sometimes I just go down to the garage to look at it, and it makes me happy…
