94 LSi for mine. She needs a decent amount of body work (big fat dent on drivers side rear corner, roof was obviously resprayed by someone who didn't know how and its got small chips and nicks all over), but everything that matters works beautifully. I'm ok with the body being ~5.5/10-6/10 because the interior is flawless, and it's had the 4.44 transmission installed along with the quick shift ECU, so its a pleasure to drive :)

And yes, Laguna Blue is the color :)

Nice, must be a blast with the upgrades. It always puts a smile on my face when power mode comes on :D Are you a member on the SVX world network?

I am wondering the same thing. Usually, the Japanese cars (like Honda) are a rip-off of the BMW designs, including the bad ones (bangle butt).

Yea, you can see plenty of design cues from lots of cars being used by lots of other car makers, but I think that is just the nature of design trends. Popular looks and styles come and go, but saying that BMWs are "mostly ripoffs" is going to take some examples and explanations for me to understand.

Most of the design rip-offs come from the luxury brands to the more general consumer brands.

I also need to understand how BMWs rip-off American cars. Never heard that one before, and it sounds pretty silly.

Maybe thinks the Z4 is a rip-off of the Corvette. I know, the X5 is a rip-off of the AMC Gremlin and the 1-series hatch is a rip-off of the Ford Pinto. That must be what he meant. :eek: :D

I messed around with some long exposures of the interior of my car.





I hope this still counts as a photo of your car? :confused:

60 KM/H never went any faster then that and I drove on the same part of road that have no pot holes which is SUPER RARE to find around the lower mainland of British Columbia. So I got lucky I guess? I took about 80 photos until this one turned out the clearest.
Plus securing the tripod really well along with strapped it around with the seatbelt helps a bit. :)

SOOO much better than the ugly curbed up stockers I used for winters.

Vancouver had a mild winter and im hoping that its the end of the cold here. Looks like lows of +6ºC for the next couple of weeks at least.

06 M Roadster. Best car I've ever had the joy of owning. A true driver's car.

Very nice car. I would love to have the coupe version. These are awesome to drive. Like you said, a true drivers' car.

Just my opinion, but I don't think HDR does automative pictures justice. They look much better done naturally. But then I have yet to see any HDR photography that justies its existence to begin with. :)

That wing is hideous, IMO. Completely ruins any sort of flow that the rear end design once had.

I LOVE your car... even the wing is kinda cool (not my taste but I can appreciate it).

Speaking as a former owner, a Z4MC is best suited as a second car or a track car. I learned two things from having that car. First, never buy a new M car early in the production cycle. Second, I discovered that I personally prefer driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow. The Z4MC begins to hit the lower bounds of its sweet spot about 20 miles an hour over the freeway speed limit.
