Just Taken Delivery of my Z4 M40i
- Thread starter Jim S
- Start date
As others have said, I was a bit sceptical of the G29 until I saw one in the flesh. I've seen 2 so far, one black and the other with exactly your wheel / paint combo. Only the side view lets these down a bit in my opinion. They look great from behind and have an aggressive stance. They look really wide though which really like. Might even be tempted to get into one in a few years once the main depreciation had gone.

Fab looking car -enjoy and drive safe
The colour is absolutely brilliant definitely the best option there 
For me though that front end is just bulbous

Congratulations on your new z. While I wouldn't mind the engine dropped into my E85 I'm not a fan of this cars looks, nor was I impressed by the E89, especially the back end of both of these. I guess I'm kinda out of touch with the new shapes evolving in the roadster designs at BMW I keep expecting the cars to get more mean and sporty looking, instead they seem to edge closer to hybrids of roadsters and family saloons :| . I'm sure it's a blast when you put your foot down though.
Got another stone strapped in my front driver side brake disc today. Second time this week and I only got the car 6 days ago. Seems to be a design problem as the same thing happened to the only other M40i car sold by my local dealer. Not something you can fix without a car jack to take the wheel off. Not a good start to ownership of this car.
I have been driving on main roads, not back roads or dirt tracks where you might expect problems like this. Not good.

Affects the M2, M3 and M4 a lot as well - possibly also other models with performance brakes. The fix that works 80% of the time is to reverse quite quickly and brake hard a few times.

Thanks MrPT I will try that if it happens again.
