Nearly 10 cubic feet...certainly enough for two soft sided bags and a wonderful driving vacation in Europe...would love to get a Z4 there...

Definitely enough space, just look at my photos in post #10 of this thread.

The GT4 is significantly sportier. It depends on what you want.

I think we need to define sportier, IMHO it is very subjective as everyone has a different interpretation.

I want a million dollars so I can buy more cars. That being said, I’ve had four Z4s and regretted selling my last coupe so this could make me (partially) whole again. At the same time, the GT4 is a different beast and also discontinued now so I won’t be able to get another again. It’s NA and manual, last of a dying breed these days. The only rush is that the Z4 is also its way out and I don’t want to buy any 2026 car with the new kill switch mandate that just passed.

Where do I sign up for the $1,000,000 handout allocation. I also want more cars.

So anyone on here live near the delivery center? I would love to meet up with a fellow member or two. Once i can decide on color i want and order date, i am thinking end of may as i really want to time it to arrive for delivery right around the start of september for my 50th birthday. I will take two weeks off from work to do some driving down south maybe all the way down to florida before heading back home to vermont. Would make for an epic 50th birthday present to myself new z4 manual track day and two weeks of driving wherever i want.

That would be a perfect way to celebrate a 50th birthday! I live about 4 hrs from the performance center. If closer I’d hang out there often lol

Just checked with the PDC....if you're doing a Performance Center Delivery, all their PDC vehicles for the included driving events are automatic transmission vehicles. My friend is picking up his MT M2 and found out he'll be driving an AT M2 for the driving portion of the PDC driving experience.

They changed that a number of years back. Was talking with one of the instructors when I got comped at the full weekend performance driving program.

He said they were have too much Transmission & Clutch repair work with the MT's being destroyed by the students. Interesting this was a group that supposedly were looking good drivers looking to improve.

After the program was not surprised when they were giving out the small reward gifts, little red cones, for first in each event that the time range for some events was 15 seconds or more in an event that 22.67 seconds took first.
