Do you wave??

New into Zed ownership. I’ve now twice given thumbs up to other Z4 drivers and one Z3. Not even a nod in return.

Are our cars not ‘classic’ enough to get waves yet? :roll:
 
I always wave if I'm in an open top and spot another sports car with the roof down. Usually get a wave back. :D

Occasionally I forget and wave from inside my Mazda2 Capella. At best not noticed. At worst they're straight on the phone to the funny farm. :oops:
 
Waved to another z4 last month for the first time and got a wave back.

Must admit as I drive a e86 I'm only inclined to wave to e85 and e86s :rofl:
 
I wave, but have yet to receive more than a goldfish-like stare back, usually from under the closed roof :poke:
I must admit to now embellishing my waves to give them a slightly sardonic look.
When someone does finally wave back I shall be so astonished I'll probably become the goldfish! :rofl:
 
My Z4 first mover 'waving' rules: It needs to look like an enthusiasts car, so generally E86s and Sport/lowered 3.0/3.0SI E85s get a nod or a lifted finger. Other E85s get the respect if they're 'pushing on' in an appropriate manner or a tasteful spec well presented in traffic. Deep blue E85 SIs get the full wave and nod. All other Z's get a good look and a smile, ready to reciprocate any movement from the other side.
 
I must admit, in moving traffic, trying to guess where the moron in a corsa or white van in front is going, I mistake Z’s for 1 series! I know you will all go :o but at a quick glance from the front they look ‘similar’ especially in a long queue, and by then it is too late. :slaphead: So if you have waved at an E86 Montego Blue in Shropshire, sorry, it may have been me! :driving:

Totally Agree with this 👆 :thumbsup:

Also I don’t get as many waves back in the Z4 as I did in previous Z3s I’ve owned maybe age of car thing.

Cos in a Z3 they can see you sticking out over the windscreen, but in a Z4 you're tucked in behind the reflection on the glass. :D
 
Hardly anyone waves in Norfolk regardless of the situation. I waved at my wife once - Nothing! 😀

I'd agree with that. Met the Norfolk crowd at Cromer for a run out.
At the end of it as we drove away we both waved to the rest, stood in a huddle by their cars.
Not a thing!
Couldn't even remember who we were! :roll: :rofl:
