    Just bought a 08 Z4 3.0i about 3 days ago. I drove it home from the dealership and parked it. Haven’t driven it since because I’ve been slammed at work. Although that drive home was great. Good overall car especially for the age. I got it with 30k miles too :)

    I used to have an 07 Z4 3.0si, it was a fantastic car, I put over 30k miles on it as a daily driver. With an aftermarket exhaust and an amazing sound system installed it was pretty awesome. Mine was an automatic which wasn't too bad, I want to buy a manual one in the future, it is a stunning and amazing car. Whoever gets this one will love it

    Parker - on your S550 trunk open with your foot feature, you're doing it wrong. I have that on my 2015 E400, and it works for me nearly every time. You need to swipe your foot across. I swipe right, and it pops right open.

    The engine choices are a bit different to what we have in Europe, from 2003 we had 2.2 (170bhp), 2.5 (192bhp) and 3.0 (239bhp) engines and from mid 2005/2006 we had 2.0 (150bhp), 2.5si (218bhp) and 3.0si (265bhp)... and then there was the z4m which used the e46 M3 engine (about 340bhp) and an Alpina roadster which had a stunning 3.4 straight six with an alleged 300bhp but it’s quicker and more refined than the z4m... I want an Alpina roadster version but I need to make way for one.
