After three months of waiting my new z4 arrived last week!
3.5is deep see blue, White interior, 19" alloys, sat nav, voice, heated seats and steering, comfort access, idrive, sat nav, USB connect.
Week one: 697 miles on the clock - I have owned 318ci, 535d touring, 997 c2s, 997 turbo, and most recently min cooper, in the past 10 years, and my wife has a x5 3.0sd. After placing the order read many articles criticising the cars chassis, hard suspension poor handling, over shadowed by porsche......; naturally I had become a ta worried if I had made a big mistake - but, I have to say this is the best car I have ever owned, absolutely love it , only taken it unto 3000 rpm as of yet, but the car is super smooth, has excellent feel and handling, even in the snow over the past two days, and the exhaust note is quality, similar rumble to the flat six from the Porsche.
I loved the porsches, but whilst the engine sound, kudos, handling were great, I was disappointed by the quality of the interior in both of them, based on what they cost to buy - the z4 - is first class inside, all the comforts that doing the miles I do pass by very quickly. IN the porsches I used to feel battered after a 100 mile trip to london; yesterday I covered over 300 miles, and felt great when I landed home.
Early niggles, small tank and two seats in back would be handy ;-), but I guess I knew both of those things when I bought it.
I would strongly advise anyone who is considering a cayman or hosted to give the z a blast first.
Oh, forgot to mention the folding roof - damn that's smart too!
