Wooohooo!
That's rather nice.
Do you have to run it in, or are you going to get a few miles under your belt straight off bat?

[taffyracer]

Run it in, these engines respond far better to redline driving frm the start

Well I haven't been exploring the upper reaches of 8,000 rpm but I've done a few full-bore runs up to 6,000 rpm and it pulls like a turbine from 2,500 rpm. Very linear power delivery. Interior is a bit plasticky in places though.

Don't run in a BMW six. Make sure it's warm and then flog it from the beginning. t gets it 1200 mile service don't forget.

Wrong. I've read it, but elected to take its advice with a pinch of salt.

Good man. Rag the arse off it.

Lovely car, but I hope you didn't pay list price for it... I was in a BMW dealer today and they had a black M Coupe on the floor with a list price of 45K. Look for BMW Used Approved cars and there are several '06 cars listed around 31K with just a few thousand miles

Check my profile...

Never been a fan of the Z4 M Coupe.... Until just now when I saw the picture of your cars from that angle!

Just, WOW! Those wheels work SO well with the black paint.

Have fun with it!

Nice one, very similar to my car, I love it to death but the build quality and ride is not great on these, handling more than makes up for it though
