ZHP stuff
Some observations after two and a half years of ownership.
First, I think my example has developed the infamous 4k dip and surge - it'll hit 3500 to 4000 than dip a couple of times - is this it? Since my car was built in March of 06, I expected this problem to have been worked out, it's quite an annoyance.
The shift knob pops out of place sometimes, seemingly at random - once, while going into reverse, it came right off in my hand.
Other than that, this car is so much fun to drive and such a pleasure to own, I've not had an inclination to dump it - especially after seeing the pricing and trim levels on the upcoming Z4.
It has a few cons, as a convertible, it's a bit shakier than I'd like it to be, and it can be quite noisy. It's heavy too, but it feels like a featherweight after driving my wife's M35x.
Ride is good, steering hefty and has good feedback, clutch is heavy - the long throw I'm completely used to. Engagements are solid.
Top down, exhaust bellowing, it's a killer, so much fun!!
In convertible form, it's a tough act to follow ... not sure what I'd replace it with.
