BMW Z4M Coupe --> 370Z ??

Parrotguy · 03-03-2010, 01:08 PM

Re: buying plans, The American Express Car Buying program is painless and not much to fill out. I did it on the 370z roadster and got three responses immediately all under invoice. The best was $600 under. Not all dealers participate. The dealer is not allowed to haggle the price they quote. I liked the plan, others on this board have used it, but I am going with the VPP program by way of the courtesy of poster Robert Nash, which is even better. Search VPP and you'll find the thread. The only issue is the program ends on 3/31so ordering from the factory is a non-starter.

so we wound up not doing euro delivery, but taking one home tonight instead. Got it for about 1000 under invoice, but it was still twice what my base+sport was. Its a very nice car though and my wife is ecstatic, so its all good. 2.9 financing is also pretty good.

but she would never want a GTR, and actually, even though I like the car, I wouldn't want one either, just because it doesn't have a manual transmission, and I don't really like the auto, no matter how good it is.

Which is also why its hard to say which is faster. I think the Z4 might be a little, but its hard to tell since it has the 7 speed double clutch automatic, so it drives totally different. That and I haven't really gotten on it too much since its not broken in yet, and I have only driven it to the grocery store and back so far.

So do you guys have a role reversal thing going on there? She get the TT V6 and you go grocery shopping. LOL JK.

That DSG is awesome, had it on my Audi and I loved how fast it shifted. So are you going to get it chipped?

for me, what i don't like about driving an automatic is i feel like I am not doing anything.

i guess people who don't like driving a manual feel the opposite: they think they are doing too much.

have to take some pics later, but what color do you think?

Zsteve,
I just had to go pick up her birthday cake. Then we went out drinking, so the car stayed home. Probably won't get it chipped though. Only cosmetic mods for this one.

well, the Corvette is in the process of being sold. The guy is coming in from Houston either this saturday or next to pick it up, and the Z is in the body shop, so I am pretty much down to the tahoe since the Z4 is hers. Fortunately, I work mostly from home.
