I saw a new Z4 this afternoon at Sandy Plains and Gordy Parkway in GA. It was Blue with shadowline. This is the only other one I’ve seen locally besides the Black one that I see every few months in the year I’ve had mine.

Saw a Misano blue Z4 with Shadowline grill tonight on Roswell Road a couple miles south of the river in Sandy Springs tonight. Was starting to get dark and it was in traffic, so that's about all I noticed. Maybe it was the same car.

Saw the twin again today. All sightings have been within 2 miles of the house. Expect he/she lives nearby as there is nothing but subdivisions inside a 5 mile circle.

The odds are it’s the same car given how infrequently I’ve seen one and the specific color combination.

Took the Z4 to my local BMW dealership for its first service last week. (4200 miles on the clock and all was well with the car. Oil change, and that was about it.) After checking out I walked to what I thought was my car only to realize it wasn't. My car was over in the parking area. Seems an identical M40i was in for service that day, a doppelgänger! Assuming the other owner also saw my car, I guess what we have here is a two way unicorn sighting.

Found one when I was in Toronto for vacay.

Why did you get an oil change at 4200 miles? Was 9000 for my first.

Saw one white Z4 M40i and one red Z4 sDrive 30i in the dealer lot today. The former looked like a customer car (plated, dirty wheels). The i30 is used inventory.

Paragon-A · 07-23-2022, 01:29 PM

Spotted a Red s30 at a dealership Arlington TX this afternoon . Everyone that I saw walking past took a few moments to look at it . This vehicle really does turn heads

I just had my 12 month oil change with under 6,000 miles. Annual service seems like the right approach if you aren’t putting a lot of miles on the car.

I agree, especially considering the cost for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles!

Also let’s not forget the complimentary cookies and bottled water in the waiting area.

I like the bags of trail mix and the pretzels at my dealer.

Now if we only had properly placed cupholders in the car we would enjoy the total dining experience while on the road.

Westside Guy · 07-24-2022, 04:16 PM

At approximately 4:45 PM today at the intersection of County line Road and Ocean Blvd. in Golden Beach I spotted a white Z4. I honked my horn and he waved back.

TAZ007 · 07-24-2022, 09:28 PM

I finally saw another one last night; oh wait, I was driving it.

Have seen two others in HOU—silver in Katy, misano twin in Tomball. Oh, and had two “nice car” flag downs from other drivers tween AUS and HOU today. Still pretty uncommon, for sure.
