Hi all
As you'll know if you've followed my other threads I've finally taken delivery of my Z4M coupe.
In terms of the car the work elsewhere has been detailed but there is a bit left to still do, I'd like to clean up the interior plastics and fix the sunglasses holder. In terms of modding plans, potentially a new exhaust in the distant future.
The car did a trip from JHB to CT, stopping for an evening in Colesberg. Obviously that gave me a chance to run the car in nicely and also to learn how to get to grips with the vehicle itself.
I spent the first day (JHB-Colesberg) at seriously low speed. The car is very excitable in the heavy rain and pushing on beyond 100km/h in that sort of weather would be extremely dangerous.
On the second day the dry roads meant I could stretch it's legs a bit more. The car's pull in the higher gears is exceptional changing from 6th down is only required for very rapid overtakes, I was also surprised by how pliable it was over some of the rougher road surfaces.
Overall a very enjoyable few days of ownership thusfar, more than anything though it's the shape of the car that takes me every time - it looks stunning.
