I'm at Woodman's for a drive Sunday lunchtime. Hope the weather is better than today. Very wet here at present.

popped in today.. what disappointment... hardly a launch spectacular.. just a couple of trays of cut up pasties annd sausgae rolls.. not signs or anything and a bunch a of kids playing about with knackered scalectrix.

Only one Black Z4 in there too. and no-one was looking at it.. lol!

Only plus point was there a very foxy girl working there!

Almost walked away with one the used Z4s. was quite tempting. :o

I had a drive of the 2.5 version at Woodman's yesterday. Definitely feels bigger and softer - much less sports car more GT cruiser. Still has RFT's on, didn't like the aluminium interior or the rotary switch gear. Very shiny, Amercian bling. As a drive it was quite good but defo not for me. Not that I have any intention of selling my M but it's pushing me towards a Porsche for a replacement 'sports' car.

As for the boot with the roof stowed - useless!

ETA has anyone else spotted the blocks of black polystyrene behind the kidney grills - awefull!
