I have to admit that SFR was my second color choice for my Z. Here in the USA, at least near Memphis, TN, there are very few examples of the G29 Z4. I've only seen maybe 6-8 since they came out a few years ago. "Sports cars" are not very popular in the States apparently, other than Mustangs and Corvettes and other USA built "muscle cars". I've seen more Corvettes than G29 Z4s; probably more than all the Z4 models together! I suppose some of us yanks do not appreciate the finer things.....a fully equipped Mustang with its huge V8 can be had for less $ that a Z4. I'm sure that's part of the reason. However, I had a 2019 Mustang, and I think my Z4 is worth 10 of those! It's not just HP figures, which is mainly what sells cars in the USA. Oh yeah, that and cup holders.

Spotted a white Zed today with a personalised plate started L88 I think it was. Around lunch time on the A325 flyover in Frimley, Surrey.
Caught it out the corner of my eye at the last second. Didn’t see what model it was
First I’ve seen in weeks!

Spotted a 2019 BMW Z4 M4.0i in Misano Blue with Black Pack at Shackletons Garden Centre in Chatburn this morning. Parked nearby so they could spot me. I wonder if they got confused on returning to their car?
When I returned the G29 had gone but an E85 had parked next to us.
Nice to see Z4 out today. Most convertibles we spotted en route had their roofs up! Don't understand buying one and then not dropping the roof whenever you get a nice day. It wasn't even that hot today up here so that's not an excuse.

I do not get this. Every opportunity recently to have to roof down even for short drives.
I’m loving your socially distanced parking - nicely done

Have you not experienced a day yet where you've had the roof down for 2 hours already, and then you concede that you have to close it a) because you're becoming sunburnt. b) because its so bloody hot you need the benefit of cold Air-Con.Sladester100 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2020 12:03 amI do not get this.

I’ve got ginger skin too so I burn just looking at it some days!
Baseball cap and sunnies and deal with the sunburn the next day. Persistence. Even if I spite myself

Well having driven 1600 miles across Europe in the last 12 days... we’ve spotted 3 G29’s. Two red ones and one frozen grey one. Thought there may have been more.

They really are quite rare!
Today I saw a 1976 E9 CS
Amazing!
Haven’t seen a Z4 for a while. Maybe everyone has buffered off to Europe for a driving break!

I think there are at least 3or4 Z4's in my town, most are 20i's they are pretty popular here, since they start in the same pricerange as a normal sedan, even the base models are nicely equipped already, and taxes in belgium are pretty low with the 20i engine.Sladester100 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 10:29 pmThey really are quite rare!
