Sat in a new Z coupe over the weekend

Well I took a chance and stopped by the local dealer this weekend and what do you know, there on the showroom floor was a 3.0si dark grey Z4 coupe.

Seeing it in person backed up my feelings of what I saw in the pics. The front is still UAH but the rear of the car actaully has some great lines. I did not take out for a drive as I am not looking for a car, but if I still was the market the Mcoupe would be on my list. My friend the sales manager says it drives like its on rails. Much better looking then the old Z3 shoe.

Btw, this 3.0si with options was over 48k with no markup!!

They also had an M Roadster on the floor with lots for extra's for a little over 58k!

I saw a black Z4 M Roadster on the highway (rainy day) a couple of days ago. In motion and under those conditions/color the only thing to give it away was the badge, and upon further inspection, the tail pipes.

It really is not bad looking except for the front end. The questionable interior is now satisfactory to me with the ///M dressings.

If it were offered through Euro delivery, I may be swayed to buy one new. I may still consider one used over a Boxster S if depreciation helps out over the next couple of years.

That'd be a neat trick

I have to admit I'm smitten by the Interlagos blue coupe'. I'd like to be one, too.

Imola, Interlagos or black (only to hide the uglyness) would work for me.
