I love these trips down memory lane!

03/23/2013 - Picked up my 2013 F30 328i





01/26/2016 - Dropped off the 328i, which is in the background of this photo and picked up a 2016 F30 340i M Sport





04/04/2016 - Dropped off the 340i and picked up an 2016 F80 M3





01/27/2019 - Dropped off the M3 and picked up a 2018 F80 M3 CS!





01/26/2022 - Dropped off the M3 CS and picked up the 2022 G82 M4 Comp X-Drive!


The G82 is in the background here:







I've also had 3 BMW i3's between 2017 and 2022, but I didn't really get photos of those at the dealership.

Wish I was close enough to SC to do PCD, but not practical for me. I have been there 2-3 times though, used to work for a company based in Greenville, did a few corporate events there. Got to drive a Z4M there right after I'd bought one myself back in 2008.

Fantastic! Fantastic Thanks for this show! Hope you can inspire other to do the same! In all senses

Sigh.

Kept my first one for 8 years. I was lusting after an E39 M5 for a long time, and the only way to pull that off was to lose the Z4MC. So after carefully pondering it, I pulled the trigger and traded my Z4MC to EAG towards a super-cherry '02 M5 - 56k miles, spotless (as all EAG cars are), gorgeous. Flew into Cincinnati and drove the M5 all the way home to Arizona. I only paid $31,900 for that car in mid-2015. At EAG pricing. Seems SO cheap now.

I only kept the M5 for a year. My other car at the time was an E46 ZHP coupe. I found myself reaching for the E46 keys more often than the M5's keys, because I simply enjoyed driving it more, despite a 164-hp handicap. I loved the looks of the M5, but the driving experience just didn't move me. The lack of rack & pinion steering was a big part of it - all V8 E39's have recirculating ball steering, and it's numb and very not-BMW like. Meanwhile the rack in the ZHP is legendary, one of BMW's all-time best.

4 years ago I decided I needed another Z4MC in my life. I figured it would be a long search for the "right" car, but I found it right away, though it was across the country in Philly. 34k miles, Space Grey, non-nav (a must for me), pristine condition. Flew into see/drive and buy if all checked out, and it did.

Just over 2 years later, in early '21, I got hit, to the tune of about $10k in damage. It was fixed well but I knew I didn't want to keep it after that much damage. So while it was being fixed, I took the opportunity to order a '21 M2 Comp. This was early February. Great timing - was able to secure an allocation at MSRP, car delivered 3 months later without any delays. But I'll always miss the Z4MC. They are spectacular cars. If I had a place to park an additional car, I might be looking for another now.

Z4MC #1, purchased new in mid-2007...

Thanks Kevin for the awesome and well written story. Really appreciate!

I'm curious about why you mentioned non-nav it's a must for you and also did you got your hands on the M2C? Any pics of her/him

[visionaut]

I’ll play.

I got the whole draped sheet reveal and a bow for my F36 delivery. Lol..

I even got a short video of it captured with my phone, see link (can’t attach videos here?): http://visionautiks.com/video/vision...6_Delivery.m4v

And some Then & Now pics - it’s first arrival home (top) and as it sits today in summer attire (bottom). Great car btw… my second Bimmer.

Order placed 7/21 delivered 1/22.

[Bayernzeit]

27 July 2022. U.S. Overseas Military Sales program and picked up in Grafenwöhr, Bavaria, where I am currently stationed. I was bowled over by the San Francisco Red when I finally saw it in person. Patiently working up to 1200 miles before I open it up. Love, love, love driving here in Bavaria, and will be sad to leave. Third BMW and second convertible. Had to get the Z4 before they're gone forever.

Thanks, Joao. Just a guest in Germany for three years. It's been fantastic.
