Same here, we traded in the M240i in for a new red zed.

How you finding your m40i? I am still getting used to mine, the interior is such an improvement from the rather bland M240i. The only thing I have noticed is that the mapping is different as there is quite a noticable jump in performance feel from comfort to sport mode on the M40i compared to the M240i. Apart from that I am really loving it as it ticks a lot of my boxesrhodesey35iM said:Pbondar said:Swiftly said:

Swiftly, this looks beautiful. Congratulations on the new car! I saw the brand new Z4 this week for the first time whilst I was on a walk, and it was lovely! It was the first time I saw one, had not even seen a picture of one. How is it driving? It has been a while since I had my 04 Roadster, I must say, that I have been thinking about getting another! 
Hi to you and everyone else too, I hope all is well!

Hi, it's well worth having a test drive in one to see if it is for you! I'm loving mine so far, but an E85, 3 litre it is not in so many ways, times move on I guess so it really all depends on what you are looking for in a roadster. For me the new Z4 ticked a lot of my boxes I had on my list, plus I got a car with a 3 litre engine thats loaded with tech for reasonable money. Once I've run it in, I can't wait to open it up to the red line to see exactly how well it really goes.Oakandacorns said:Swiftly, this looks beautiful. Congratulations on the new car!

Nice choice! How do you find it in comparison to the M240i?
I've found them to be very different cars to drive even tho same engine. For me the Z is a much better cruiser and seems to hold the road a lot better. The 2 possibly feels a bit edgier when you push on but the Z is (marginally) the faster.

The 2 was certainly a bit more edgier, what I did notice was the difference in performance when switching between comfort and sport modes which appears less noticeable in the 2 than the Z, this I put down to different mapping characteristics. The ride certainly feels more planted in the Z, and on long journeys is certainly a nicer place to be in than the 2 that is for sure. Only complaint I have is that I wish I could turn down the fake noise a notch or two as it gets to be a bit annoying when the roof is up, not an issue when it is down.
I like Sandal Huddersfield. I used to work near Wakefield so had my Z there. But now I live further away, Huddersfield is nicer to get to. Sandal have always been spot on for me over the years, and the nearly new car I bought from Huddersfield a few years back has been absolutely faultless
I was looking at a few Zs there earlier in the month. I don't think I saw yours there though.
The shape is definitely growing on me. If they drive ok I'm thinking I might get one at 3yrs ish on AUC... then I can at least tweak things to suit.

I think they still had another red very low mileage M40i with same spec for sale when I collected mine on 28 Sept. Sandal were very easy to deal with, I was very impressed with the dealership.Mr Whippy said:I like Sandal Huddersfield. I used to work near Wakefield so had my Z there.

I was. I come out the bottom of Calton Road as I work in Waverley Gate. If it was you, looking great
