Interior looks really nice. What do you think about the vast expanses of 'elephant butt' plastic?

LOL, yes I know what you mean, although I think the nice Piano Black trim, and Champagne leather means you dont notice it so much as other interior options. Not that Im biased or anything!

The M6 wheels look nice in the pictures. Im not sure I could live with myself knowing I have replica wheels on my car.

I have imola red and piano black, but I really am thinking about getting the door caps retrimmed somehow.

Personally I prefer the standard wheels to the CSLs. I'm a bit of a 5-spoke fan (yes, I know they're strictly 10-spokes, but you know what I mean)

Did it come with those mats? Mine are just plain black. I'd like some with contrasting leather.

You have one too! aint they just the most amazing things?

Yes the mats came with it.

What colour leather do you have? I have seen a few pictures of cars with Individual leather and matching trim on the mats.

i think that the csl wheels would look great on your car, imo the m6 reps dont look as good.

So are they as bad on b roads as the reviews suggest? It's on the list of possibles for next year

I love my Z4MC but the ride is really badly oversprung IMO and it's this that most refer to when they say it's bad on B roads, body roll control is extremely good and balance is superb, but it could benefit from being more compliant and set up more for UK roads, great car though

So far my opinion is this: Its a real drivers car. Driven well, it really comes alive, and is worth every penny. If you just want to cruise around in it, then maybe a 3.0si would be better suited to your needs.

Its a commited choice, and is probably a bit of marmite car to drive, hence why in some road tests it dosnt do too well, and in others the testers really love it.

I really love the overall feel of the car, and I am quite immune to the firm ride when I am just cruising along in traffic etc.

Your driving style will probably dictate if you like it or not.
