I have 1 more year on my 335i Coupe lease, so I won't have the M before the Dragon this year... but hey, the 335 was in the top 5 greatest handling cars in the world according to Road&Track (under 2 Porsches, a Lotus and the last gen Evo) so iffn I show up in that I won't be bored , and I'm sure I can con a ride for the Friday parade from somebody.... (Krut are you listening?)

But to answer your question, I want dark silver this time, amazingly I've never owned that color... -!

I was salivating over an M-Coupe today - it was dark blue - dark silver would look fantastic with a red or blue leather interior.

And of course you're always welcome to ride in my PEPPER WHITE R56! :-)

Well it looks like I'll be taking the 335 to the Dragon this year, so I guess you'll finally get the drive we bargained for when I drove your Laser Blue R56 on 129 last year lol!

I'm so torn between coupe and roadster on the Z4.... I'll probably change my mind 50 times before I actually order it... (and blue leather would look very cool, I wonder if BMW would do that? they usually only have black and red... compared to MINIs they are kind of uncolorful inside typically)

roadster= sunshine, classic experience, good residual value....
coupe= unusual, very sharp looking, rare......

Oh, I really like the coupe!! My mom just sold her '04 Z4 because she's having problem with one of her hips, and the car was just too low for her to get in and out of comfortably. Because she only drives into La Jolla Village, and doesn't get on freeways (I know...LOL ), I suggested they get her a Prius. They love her new Prius!

BTW, this really belongs in Off Topic :: Autos, so I'm going to move it there!

Get the roadster. You should've gotten that 335 in a folding tin-top!

the R32 is interesting.... but I tell you, it's S-A-A-D that VWNA has decided not to bring the new Scirocco over here! estupidos

A Scirocco look with an R32 set up would really get my attention -!! That's kind of what's missing with the R32.... it still looks like any old Wabbit.

Both sets of wheels are going to the new owner. I actually have a a third, mostly used set in the shed left over from my 05 tintop that need to take a trip to the landfill
