Re: Who's buying
I will be happy with a Deep Sea Blue 23i with manual box, adaptive sport suspension, sports seats, black leather and 18" multi-spoke wheels. It is actually my desktop wallpaper.

Re: Who's buying
Yeah sports seats are a must I reckon. The bolsters are electrically adjustable on them, wonder if you need electric seats for that to happen?

Re: Who's buying
First white one looks really nice, the silver one is okay but not so sure about the wheels and I don`t like the wheels on the second white car that was posted. The 'old' Z4 is my preference however but would prefer the new Z4 over other similar new cars. If they build a lightweight CSL hardcore version preferably in Coupe form in the future I could be interested. Right now though I`d rather pick up an end of line 3.0 or ///M of the 'old' model, or I`d just rather keep mine for another 3 - 4 years.

Re: Who's buying
If it follows other current models - then no. I have manual sports seats in my 3 series and they have the adjustable bolsters (I think they are actually inflatable - they sound like a bag is being inflated / deflated in use). They are superb by the way!Wondermike wrote:Yeah sports seats are a must I reckon. The bolsters are electrically adjustable on them, wonder if you need electric seats for that to happen?

Re: Who's buying
If I didn't have my M Coupe and were shopping now, I've get the new Cayman S. I chose the Z4MC over last time it because the pre-facelift Cayman was under 300hp, had no limited slip diff option, and the engines were still prone to the RMS/IMS issues; all of those have been resolved with the facelift, so my Z4MC's remaining advantage is that it looks a lot better.Wondermike wrote:Thing is, for all you guys that don't like it, what else would you get? The current Z4 is/was quite unique in the price range, especially for used ones. 370Z is the spiritual successor I think, but only to the coupe, the the 370Z roadster is too fugly.

You`re right though, the Cayman S would have to be the Coupe of choice if buying new now. The new S engine is plenty economical and powerful. If BMW make a new Z4 Coupe I`m not sure how much appeal that will have to current Coupe owners knowing that the original target market of the new Z4 was the SLK. I mean a new Z4 Coupe might not be in the same market as the Cayman, but the old Z4 Coupe was a direct competitor to the Cayman.
