What do you really like about your Z4?

[hkz4]

Steptronic coupled with the Sport button.

Minor, but I dont like where the window switches are, PITA would be better in the centre link on E46's

Sport Mode doesn't affect steering sensitivity significantly JUST IN MY OPINION; throttle sensitivity is more significant for me. You'll get used to the steering. It's like anything else: do it enough and it'll become 2nd nature. Enjoy your new Z and take your time getting to know it - no worries and no rush

You'll get used to the steering. It is a bit different. But once you get used to it you'll learn to love it! If you have runflats you may experience some tramlining too - maybe not - I think they fixed that prob on the new models.

My favorite thing about the Zed is this Forum! (sp3ctre - you rock!)

mmm, not sure what's happening in your car Rosie but (I'm sure someone round here will correct me if I am wrong) if the sports buttun is working properly the idea is it stiffens up the steering, it certainly seems to on mine... not enough, but a little bit. If yours is working the opposite way round I'd get it looked at.

The only vehicles that I have owned that really got me excited have been motorcycles...until now!
I love my Z4! I don't love it because it's the greatest performance car...I love it because it's a BMW!
It's classy, it's sexy and it makes me smile every time I open the door !

Sp3ctre, what do you mean by "stiffens up the steering"? Do you mean it's less flighty/sensitive?

I would like to have more confidence in the steering as I drive down bumpy country roads - at the moment I have to go more slowly than I would in other sports cars because it feels like I might over-correct the steering and dart off into the hedge. The steering response isn't instant - the car moves a little to the left, so I steer a little right, but there's a small delay, then a little too much movement to the right, etc.

If the Sport button makes the car less flighty & more confidence inspiring then I'll put it on down country lanes.

Ditching the runflats would sort that for you, but it's a bit awkward when the tyres are new.

mike's right, runflats make running hard on uneven/curved surfaces more difficult to keep control of your car. You have to be more careful but the bumps just make me smile! Like anything, do it enough and you'll learn it and make the necessary adjustments.

Stiff, tight.....that's what it is...you've got it.

[flyboyaj]

Damn rosie, when I first read that I thought you were talking about me and you... stiff, tight... LOL

exactly...it was like trying to hang to a bucking bronco. I like my F1's for better handling and they are wearing well too. I have 47K miles and still going on the set i bought to replace the RFT's at about 20K.
