New member, new Z!

Sooo after about nearly a month of waiting for my PW Z to arrive, I want to say a few things; First, seeing pictures of the 18's I was really worried about the size. I thought they looked really small for the car. In person however is the complete opposite, They are indeed a great size in terms of road noise and tire costs. Secondly, After driving a new 3 series and Z4, I can accurately state that the Z's drive is akin to that of Bavaria Motors. The steering feel is real tight, suspension rigid but DD worthy. Thirdly, the interior quality I would rate an 8/10 in similar quality to a Z4, the door plastics and dash are near identical in feel. Thirdly, After reading complaints/countless threads on cabin noise, I was concerned. After driving PA highway roads and town roads, I can say that interior noise is at the same level to that of my brothers 01 civic on 17s with a side profile of 45. In conclusion, if noise was ever a concern, turn on the radio. No, you don't have to blast it either like countless others have stated here..

P.S. Will post pictures tommorrow after I get it all clean and detailed!
