What's your favorite thing(s) about your Z4?

Motionblurrr · 08-31-2010, 04:12 PM

hey guys

after owning my Z4 for more than a year I've always wanted to know what are your favorite things about your Zs? I only have a 3.0i so it's not as exciting at you M guys!

-I love when I step off the throttle and I hear that wonderful burble

-I love looking at the side mirrors and seeing that big wheel arch--makes me feel like I'm in a mini supercar haha

-They look like friggin SHARKS. I love that about them.

-Torque is pretty sexy

The fact that you don't see one everyday. Talk about being unique...

nmulax · 08-31-2010, 04:46 PM

• The uniqueness (especially having an M Coupe)

• The S54 motor

• The pop/burble when you let off the throttle thanks to an exhaust

• That there is no other good-looking RWD coupe that provides this combination of power, driving pleasure, refinement, and build quality; at this price.

thekurgan · 08-31-2010, 04:57 PM

S54, great LSD, seats and overall structure.

pokeybritches · 08-31-2010, 05:30 PM

The simple, no-bull layout. The car has everything I want. No more, no less.

bhoch · 08-31-2010, 05:33 PM

I have not had mine long enough but so far it's the seats and just the way is drives/handles. I have the 3.0si and I'm

Motionblurrr · 08-31-2010, 05:35 PM

Great reply guys

. Yes I've noticed the fact that I don't see Z4s everyday. Its a bit lonely sometimes though

LOL this was the first thing I noticed when I got my Z4. I went like, "OK, the AC is there, the softtop button is there aaaaaaand there is the DSC button. Got it"

jumpthewire · 08-31-2010, 05:37 PM

+1 "The simple, no-bull layout. The car has everything I want. No more, no less."

classic design + speed + low production numbers
i also love the "sparse" interior, which many reviews complained about.

there are a handful of little things i don't care for, but thats being REALLY picky

Finnegan · 08-31-2010, 05:47 PM

Man, you guys have covered it. I'll just second the posts above, and add one more thing: It's so damn much fun to drive! It's like having perpetual E ticket! (Well, in my case, only if/when I can borrow the darn thing).

inTgr8r · 08-31-2010, 06:11 PM

the shit faced grin it gives me every time I drive it, or look at it.

RBull · 08-31-2010, 06:21 PM

^haha, that about sums it up for me too.

r4gs · 08-31-2010, 08:03 PM

what's my favorite thing about my z4? IT'S MINE!

bosstones · 08-31-2010, 08:33 PM

Their uniqueness, the fun factor, and whenever I hit ~ 4500 RPM in any gear other than 1st.

On a recent work trip my boss's boss referred to my car as "that landshark thing" in conversation.

G80indy · 08-31-2010, 11:29 PM

it's the last of a serious breed. A keeper. truly special

doozyj · 08-31-2010, 11:37 PM

-S54
-Fat steering wheel
-Rarity
-Design

Eccentric · 09-01-2010, 12:51 AM

I like the small, but snug cockpit. Makes me feel like I drive a spaceship as my DD

Serious · 09-01-2010, 01:21 AM

Mainly the fact that the car is about the closest thing to a "hardcore" bmw M car (m3 csl, m3 gts etc) that the US ever got.

I also really appreciate that BMW built the car in a way where I don't feel I have to modify everything. With my e46 m3 the car NEEDED an SSK and coilovers just to feel how I expected an m3 to feel, the coupes come with that sports car feel straight from the factory.

Steering wheel, seats, cockpit feel, percise feel of the road, the sound, the S54 and man does it have a nice looking booty.

Widebody looks (from the back), steering wheel, uniqueness, the SOUND!
