Been great here - left home (mid Norfolk) about 8:30 over to the coast at Walcott for breakfast then along the coast road to Cromer (albeit through the mist) then cross county to North Walsham; Taverham and Dereham with a few stops along the way and back home mid afternoon - all top down at 14 degrees +

Don't know about that, maybe its just the area you live?
Originally i was going to buy a 1.8 20v Audi TT as i had previously leased one for 24months, but over time whitest looking it dawned on me every other car on the road was a Audi TT (8 out of 10 of those where silver) so i decided to buy Z4 based on where i live (lived) at that time, on a generally average day you'd never see another one.

Still now i think theres barely 2-3 i recognise seeing more than once around here.

Mine stayed parked!

I may have used it, but the roads were wet and it was a Bank Holiday so I expected Sunday drivers everywhere.

Wasn't proved wrong - A3 Northbound had a 3+mile queue due to kn*bs not getting onto the slip road for the M25 until the last possible minute! Wouldn't have got any extra enjoyment from crawling in the Z4 instead of my daily. :(

Mind you I wouldn't have worried about the weather - mine has a roof! :poke:

Now I'm retired I might take the Z4 out this week...... :P
Coupes because stunning!
Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
Gone - Montego Blue
Gone - Ruby Black
