Our time with this beautiful little BMW Z4 Coupe was short but sweet!


We got to say a happy, yet sorrowful goodbye to this little guy yesterday.... 

 Every once in a while a car will grab my attention and demand to be noticed, this was one of those. The 2008 Z4 3.0is coupe is a very special car and I expect it to gain some serious traction as a collectible in the near future, the body lines demand to be looked at, the engine loves to rev, and it eagerly anticipates the apexes of winding roads and tight corners. 
 At first I thought the seats were hard and the bolsters tight, I soon learned that the coupe was 40% stiffer than the convertible and the extra "grab" from the seats was more than just necessary and readily appreciated.
 With a quick push of the "Sport" button the car would change driving characteristics from a "Sunday cruiser" mode into a "Track Day" mode. Push  the DSC(traction control) button you are able to turn off the straight line traction control while maintaining the side to side stability control. Push and hold you will eventually disable the whole system and allow for some tail out engine singing happy times!
We'll all miss this pretty face, but maybe it will come back to us when/if the new owners ever decide to part ways with it again. I made it known that I would be more than happy to have it back.
