Yeah, the few people I've met driving Z4MCs were very enthusiastic in playing around, flashing, thumbs up and everything.

The other day I was going down South as well and a guy in a very good looking Z4 3.0si Roadster in black with red leather was keen to give me the thumbs up.

That allied with the comments I get in the road make owning this car that little bit more special. :)

I almost always wave or give a "thumbs up" to other Z's unless I am drinking hot coffee and shifting and would say that I get a response of about 50 to 60% of the time. Frankly I am a little disappointed that the response is not a little higher as there is a similar tradition with Jeep Wrangler owners and there is about an 80% plus response with them.

Ditto, seems to be a few snobs driving the Zed on the East Coast, I gotta get my butt back down south where the sun is HOT and the women are SWEET (or is it the other way around?).

Here in San Diego County the response I've gotten to a wave is maybe 20% and that's only men. Half the Zed's here are driven by 30 something fashionista dames who are oblivious to anything but their own reflection in their mis-adjusted rear view mirrors.

Still waiting for a first response to a wave or a nod in my travels so far. :(

*edit* - I have seen one person in my area with a ///M (rcnet) that offered a response.

I still keep trying but this is the least enthusiastic car owner camaraderie I have experienced in the last 5 years.
