Such a great freaking car. I had one for about a year, loved it. Careful with her out of warranty though!!

Thanks! It's a big change and I'm still getting used to it, but I'm enjoying it so far.

It's a CPO car with 21K miles, so I think I still have 3 years/79K, which is also a novel concept.

How different are the Z4 Coupe and Z4 Roadster to drive? I hope to own a Z4 M someday, but I can't decide on a roof or not.

1975 (?) Datsun B210 - side whacked by a Cadillac. I was basically uninjured. The B210 died of bent frame.
1982 Rabbit Cabriolet - lawnmower engine. I moved to Japan and it was passed to family members under whom it fell to pieces.
1994 Ford Thunderbird V8 - I loved this car which gulped gas but just after the warranty ran out the transmission started to buckle like a wild steer.
1997 Ford Contour SVT - traded Tbird in on a lease for this undercover pocket rocket. Last stick I would own. My sister bought one of the last of the Contour SVTs and still drives it though it really deserves a peaceful retirement.
2000 Infiniti I35 - Nice enough. Not a lot more to say.
2006 Lexus IS250 - Love it and am keeping it.
2013 BMW X1 sDrive 28i - Expected delivery around Thanksgiving.

Dad has a 2010 m3 and I always liked it, so I joined the family. Felt like I needed a little more luxury along with keeping performance. I do kind of miss the cockpit 2 seater feeling though. I've only owned three cars, 22 years old
