To wave or not to wave...?

:roll: Sorry guys it's my old head!! Could have worse I might have put Cons
You'd all think I was waving at criminals.
 
Got first fellow Z4 wave (thumbs up) today, saluted back with big grin. Made my day!
Grey Z4 2004 in Finchley road area of North London. Thank you Sir :lol:
 
I got my first ever wave this morning in the Lower Penn part of Wolverhampton :D
What suprised me most was he waved before me, so maybe that makes me the wavee rather than the waver and i am still waiting for my first wave back? :scratchhead:
 
Out in Lane End, near High Wycombe and see a E85 coming from a distance. I flashed my headlights and waved. Both driver and passenger (looked like husband and wife) just looked, as if I was mad :roll:
 
Since getting a Z4 a couple of weeks ago I've generally given a little wave of acknowledgement to other Z drivers and had no response...apart from my other half, who thinks it's funny that we would wave just because of an appreciation for the same car. However, she's since got the bug and when we both rather enthusiastically waved to a fellow Z owner in Portishead on Sunday, there were scenes of wild celebration when we got our first wave back :D :D

I must admit, it felt more like a forced/scared gesture from the guy coming the other way as he saw the two of us charging towards him waving like a pair of nutters... but we'll take it as a victory! :yeah:
 
Do E85 Zed drivers wave more than E89 drivers though :wink:

I think they do myself. So based on the post above. More nutters drive E85s. :D :driving: :lol:
 
An old pal used to regularly give a wave / headlight flash etc to a random car - he used to laugh about how much time they would spend wondering who it was!!
 
I always wave. If they wave back it's a bonus. If they don't, they're not gonna turn around and hunt you down to found out why you waved :thumbsup:

Years ago my dad was always doing that - drove my mum mad :D
 
Maybe having an E86 doesn't help - I don't think most E85 or E89 owners realise that they are also Z4s! :roll:

That's because they look like a 3 series from the front. :wink

Loving my 3 series Cab by the way. :D
 
I generally find E89 owners less willing to wave, many seem to see their cars significantly different enough to the e85/86 so as to feel like in a different ‘club’.

I nearly always get a response from other e85’s though. Again, I think where you live has an impact. Generally speaking, the more rural the better.
 
I always wave - like a looney lolol so if you’re in North Somerset and see a red zed with a nutter waving .... that will be me ...
 
Strange, isn't it - I used to have a Honda S2000 and always got waves from other S2000 drivers.

Like others have said on here, I suspect that not all Z4s are driven by enthusiasts, which is why you get the "who the f*** are you?!" stare when you wave.

Sad really, as it lifts everyone's day when you see a like-minded person who waves back :) :thumbsup:
