I honestly don’t understand how they don’t sell more of these. I can only speak to my M40i but you put the car in eco or comfort mode and it’s an easy drive that gets surprising great gas mileage. Then you put it in sport and it’s a rocket ship. The engine sound, the gurgles…

Then you add on the fact that it’s a vert that doesn’t lose any trunk space when it’s down…

Can you tell I’m obsessed yet?
Thank you for the honest review. By the way, what is the gas mileage in comfort mode? I get 25 in my m235 F23 now.

If you join the CCA and use the drone to take those outstanding pics at events, you could increase your customer base and maybe it'll pay for a car as well as cameras. Just a thought.

I’ve always enjoyed photography and considered trying to sell some of my photographs but haven’t gotten there yet. Maybe in 2022.

I did a road trip last weekend. There was a lot of Interstate on Econ but some mountain roads in Sport+. I did 32 mpg in a M40i.

32 avg on a 6 cylinder; that's awesome. Possibly save me money at the pump. I just hope the minimum octane level is still 89.

No, you need premium. In Colorado, that's 91. In Texas, 93. Even my wife's X3 PHEV requires premium (but then, she gets much better mileage).

That's interesting, my M235 uses 89min. It appears that it will be 91min from now on.

I rinsed it off with a pressure washer and then blew it dry with a blower.
On a whim I got BMW's glass cleaner spray, it worked great for the exterior glass and the glossy plastic in the cabin.

Seriously, you're really going to do that to me. That's raw man. I still gotta wait 2.5 weeks to collect mine and watching your car porn is really frustrating.

Two weeks in and I believe the Z4 is a fantastic car. It turns heads everywhere, I never had a car that did that so easily.
