Well said, yet to see one on the road yet other than at dealers. Hopefully G29 owners acknowledge each other
Holding back on a new Z4

I gave
to passing White G29 on a shopping complex car park recently and got a nice wave back. I’ll keep it up and hopefully pass a forum car at some point. Obs-Com said:
A few weeks ago I finally saw a G29 in the flesh and on the road and I have to say the back looks great and the side profile is ok, it's just the front that I am not so sure about but I think it will grow on me. Overall though I think it looks pretty good!
Just had an extended test drive in a new one (48 hours), well probably a little longer. Didn't want to give it back Was the 2.0i with lots of extras. I previously had a 2009 Z4 23I.
Love the new car, very impressed all round. Currently have a 2018 Audi A5 convertible 2.0tfsi 190ps. I would be very interested in getting one now however there doesn't seem to be any deals around. Having seen how quickly the prices have dropped I am going to wait a year then look for a nice m40i. The 2.0i was a good engine though, however I couldn't help but think the car could have handled a LOT more power. Maybe the 3.0i is a good option as well.

30i probably the sweet spot given power and running costs all combined as you say Ian, I tested a 2.0 and it was fine, I was surprised how well it pulled, enough grunt in the real world, definitely it can easily cope with more but up go the costs. Tbh unless you want the noise the four pot is plenty in either guise.
My only negative comment about the g29 from the beginning has been the front kidney grilles, they just looked oversized alongside the rest of the front. However, I've now seen various spec options and colour combinations that in my mind do a good job of minimising that bugbear for me. So much so that I'm actually looking at an almost new m40i at the moment (no other engine versions have been released in this country so that removes any choice as far as what engine to look for). The prices are still shockingly high though, so like others I might just sit out another year and see what's available then. Shame, as I really do like the one on offer.

That old chestnut :roll: I suspect it’s not going to happen John as it’ll need to be a new build to get it. You’d have thought the First Editions would have had it and at least one or two of the pre reg cars. I wouldn’t let it hold you back though as too many other positives for the car.

Waddya mean “That old chestnut”...?? Have I mentioned adaptive before...?? :hairdryer:
You’re right but it’s like a smooth single malt, once you’ve tasted it nothing else will do..! I mean really there’s no great hurry, I just want one yesterday... :lol: I’ll wait, see what pops up, I’d rather not go new build again for the nosedive it’ll take, but it might have be that way as nothing has cropped up after 11 months of them being out there. I’ll be doing a lot of motorway miles at weekends so either way it’s something I’m not prepared to waver.
Had one for 3 days,drove it for one .then got back in my SdriveSi e89 .better car bud ,I think
