Nice one, I'm glad you had fun ... And your comments on most of BMW shifters are spot on. The're kind of rubbery ...
And befpre you buy an Z3M wait for the coupe
I'm going to drive Z4M Coupe in a few days, including few laps of the racetrack ...

Thanks for your reviews dude

I am really interested in putting my hands on the Z4 for a photoshoot, but last time I checked, the salesmen on that part of the dealer were not as friendly as Jag or Land Rover ones

everso: yeah, I could have adjusted the seat in order to sit lower down, but since I'm not used to the dimensions and form of the vehicle, if I sat too low, I might scratch the rims or hit an obstacle since it would mean my visibility would be hindered a little due to the form of the bonnet and sills which are a bit higher up.

Better to be safe then sorry

TT: yeah, it's a bit of a pain, and this was like the 4th time I asked them if I could go ahead and try a Z4M, and they finally caved in...

Well, to be honest, to get the XK I also had to ask and call them quite a few times, but it worked in the end

I really wasn't expecting to try the Z4M to be honest... I was surprised they agreed to let me take the one in their showroom for a spin.

This morning I went through autoscout24.ch and looked up a few cars closeby that I wanna try, and jotted down the addresses in my phone. Then I got ready and went out to find these places in order to try the cars, but first I passed by the BMW dealer to just try my luck... Because of this, I didn't end up visiting all the places I noted down, but it does mean I'm soon finished testing all the "normal" cars that I wanna test drive (still a few convertibles in there that I need to try).

This means I need a few more days off to check autoscout for a few cars, and well, it's the exotics after that, which is a lot harder to get a test drive out of =\

ah well...

No, not yet. No idea when they will get one, I'm not so interested in the Coupé as I'm more interested in convertibles.

But if I do spy one at a dealer, I'll try to give it a shot
