After a 5 month wait I got it today.

After owning 3 other Z4’s, my last was a 35is, I would say this:

Ride is much better. Less harsh and crash than 35is.
Overall handling is very much improved; this holds a line better than previous Z4’s and feels planted.
Interior finish is fantastic and worthy of the marque.
iDrive7 brings BMW into the new age. It’s fresh, beautiful to look at and functional.
Engine: jury’s still out in this, as I’m running it in still.
Looks: beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but every time I look at this car something else catches my eye. It’s fab in black and smooths the sharp lines but retains the muscular stance and angular cuts. Everyone that’s sees it have all said positive things, and at the end of the day, it’s my view that counts, and I love it.
Price: yup expensive. But when I specc’d a 718 Boxster S it came in over £75k. The driving experience is key and that includes the features a car has on it.

Happy so far? Yes definitely.

I think it looks very nice, nice review of the subtle details though as for the nay sayers, your opinion is all that counts!

My Mrs hates my E86, Bing complements it in the only Scottish way he knows how but just like the Sex Pistols... I don’t care 😎

Glad u r able to live the dream

Nice looking car. The Black paintwork and the Red interior go well together. Saw a G29 sDrive 30i at my local dealer yesterday with the same colour combination. I think the Cerium Grey grill, wheels and trim compliments your car better than Black.
Happy motoring

Nice to hear a positive review of the new car. I liked it in the metal much better than the photos I've seen. Glad to hear that you're happy with it overall. I'm sure I'll be switching up later in the year.

Lovely :thumbsup:

I have to say, I loved the seats in the one I drove, very comfortable and supportive all the way up to your head.

Not really, I’m a little reluctant to buy new again, though mines just cost me £180 because of a software issue with the Harman Kardon so now buying used doesn’t appeal much either :headbang:
