Traded my ND1 MX-5 on a 2016 F80 M3 right before covid hit, but started missing the convertible. Ordered my G29 Z4 Handschalter as soon as I found out they existed, and picked it up 2 weeks ago. Looking forward to getting through the break in period and seeing what she can do.

Welcome aboard.

I'm guessing you aren't in the UK, so did you get to choose the colour?

Although if you posted a photo or two we'd know!

Please don't let it be green! :wink:

Ha, was told it'd add ~6 weeks to the build to do the frosted options (which look NICE, but not my style). Panda all the way. White with black accents and black interior. Weird weather recently here in Arizona so haven't had a lot of chance for photos, but we also don't require front license plates so it keeps the lines nice and clean from the front.

Welcome to the forum. Would be great to see pictures of your Panda. :wink:

I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the G29 m40i in manual

Thank Christ it's not green. I would imagine the B58 with a manual (stick in US parlance) is a good thing.
Here in the UK we can only get the 'Handshandy' in that God awful frozen green with a dog s**t brown interior colour, which is why no-one has bought one yet. There are a few about, but all dealer demos as they can't get rid of them.
I am convinced BMW don't want to sell them here, just had to offer them for some contractual reason.

Pistonheads like it. Interesting that you get a choice of colour in the US where we only get British racing green, on a German car. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-driven/bmw-z4-handschalter--ph-favourite-cars-2024/49352
