Im planning to get the z4 m40i and I wanted it to be stealth black, but wife wants it red.
So, I went ahead to BMW India HQ and got the test ride of the m40i red one, as that's the only car available in whole India for test ride to potential clients.
Attached are the pictures. I wish, we had matte red option in India, but anyways, I will settle with this red.
It looks good.
Here are my thoughts,
1. Car is extremely well built and everything looks like the future.
2. Harman Kardon was absolute crap, it was sounding worse than my stock Audi A4 Hifi 2014. Not sure, why.
3. In every ride mode, I feel the throttle initial second response its that great. Did anyone feel this too ?
4. The car roars nice if you rev while standing, but while driving even if in sports mode, the roar isn't that growl.
5. In sports mode and sports + mode too, the acceleration is nice, but it's delayed. Is it normal or may be this was abused bad ?

It looks well in that colour !
With the hesitation... was it wet for your whole test drive? Could have just been traction / stability intervening subtly

I think that shade of red does the car no favours at all, very bland and uninspiring, red (like yellow) needs to be deep and rich, not looking like the sun has faded it already.
