My statement which although a bit hypocritical refers partly to those who think an Impreza or a Focus ST is a slayer of all other cars.

Glad you're enjoying it voodoo. I found the same with 1st and 2nd gear. Just need to get used to the clutch. The brakes were really powerful. Especially after getting out of my heavy convertible.

Crackin car mate 
Been tempted by a Z4 convertible for the last few months, but the Z4 m is sexy beast!
Every time i see one (and that isn often!) i feckin love the way they look in motion
Looks like a small sized bat mobile
Im after a Z4 convertible, but if i had the wedge id get an M anyday, such a rare cool car, they always make me rubber neck when i see one on the road

I think they look stunning, nicely unique and almost retro- Im thinking back to the low slung coupes of the 60's-
loved the Z3 coupe - hardtop version- can't remember its proper name sadly !
if you can afford it, go for it

Thanks again all. Glad it's liked by a lot of you. When I posted pics of my 330ci convertible it didn't seem to be too popular on here but it's good to know this seems like the better move. Maybe it might be something to do with M badge.

That looks like a nice car, thing i dont get is that if you have had loads of dramas with your current Car, why go and buy another model???? that type of thing would make me NOT buy another one from the same stable IMO.
Not directed at the OP but a generalization.

It wasn't so much the dealer it was the car that was the problem. My local dealer that did the repairs were pretty poor too. If I have problems with this one I'll definitely be driving the 40 miles to get it looked at rather then leaving it with my local dealer.
Once I clapped eyes on the Z4M I couldn't help but love it and had to buy it.

It really is quite lovely.
Bet the wheels are tricky to clean though - as a car washing nerd, I notice stuff like that!
Easiest ever wheels to clean? The standard ones on the mk5 GTi Golf!

Thanks mate.
I'll tell you what they're actually really easy to clean. The sponge gets right in the spokes with ease and you can clean right to the back of the wheels too so they always look new. I had these wheels before on my 330ci and they were a nightmare.
I'm so scared of scratching the dark paint work though so always snow foam first

Shell was the first tankful I put in, but was light on the car as I'm still learning it. I'm getting well over 300 miles per tank right now and am really surprised as I've had quite a few spritied runs out, took her way up over 6k revs many times and have tested her out at 1.3 leptons on a private track and cruised on a motorway type road (not necessarily in the UK) at 9.5leptons for some distance.

I don't like BMWs per se. I think they are for what I want from a car overrated and a bit too quirky looking these days. The only BMW I have ever liked is the E39 M5.
Then you come along and post pics of this beauty. I love it. It looks like something from a Batman movie.
Enjoy it and if it drives half as good as it looks you are onto a winner!!

I know its not a major consideration when designing one of these cars, but what sort of boot space is there in the Z4M guys?? Would there be space for a set of golf clubs, two sets would be great, but that might be pushing it!!
Also, does anyone else think that the ///M badge on the rear looks a little random... I've looked at the rear 3/4 angle picture more than a few times and the more I look at it the more I think it'd look better and cleaner without the badge?
Cheers,
Grant

Its actually got a fair boot size. It has more room then my old 330ci vert. It will easily fit a set of golf clubs and probably two sets with a push.
I like the badge on the back. The badge actually opens the boot too. It flips around when you push it.

It was the ///M badge on the left that I thought looked out of place a wee bit, the BMW badge looks fine, probably as it sits central and keeps things symmetrical.
Cheers,
Grant
