2007 Z4 3.0si, auto, prem pkg, electric roof, not sure what other options.
US import bought from a dealer in the GTA. Still under warranty for a year and a bit.
25k miles / 40k kms.
Will be driven year round but obviously the TSX will be preferred in the winter.
Anybody have some 5x120 17" BMW rims for sale?
-Great fun, with all the tradeoffs one would expect of a car like this.
-Wonderful steering in the corners, but kind of sketchy in a straight line. Lacks on-center feel at high speeds, which takes some getting used to. Overall its not as bad as the Camry I drove last year but still pretty annoying.
-Tramlines like a mofo.
-Haven't had the chance to see if it really does 0-100 in 5.7 seconds yet.
-Body roll? Whats that?
-Throttle tip-in in regular D mode is super soft. Lots of noise but not much movement. Takes some getting used to vs. the TSX which seems more eager to get going. SD is another matter.
-Electric roof is great, super fast.
-Really poor roof-up rearward visibility (I've decided to back into all parking spots from now on).
-Fairly noisy, especially from the sides, and the psgr side A-pillar (I think) has a rattle. Yes, I knew about this before we bought it.
-Ride is pretty harsh, runflats and all.
-Trunk isn't half bad but the cabin storage is abysmal. I think the glovebox will fit a few boxes of tic-tacs but that's all. Roof doesn't seem to take up any meaningful trunk space at all, which is nice.
-No HIDs. Seriously? I didn't even bother checking because I just assumed that a 2007 BMW, and the big-engined one no less, would have them standard. D'oh.
-Radio is great. Bluetooth thing is awful to use though.
-Still has some BMW Assist left on it, although technically it doesn't transfer over the border. Maybe I'll just pretend I'm on vacation in Canada..?
