Grandma's Landshark

Wife & I had our 1st natural grandchild back in April and I had promised her a new car when she hit double nickels (early this month) so this is what she has now replacing her TT Quattro Coupe. It's the 3.0 with sports package & 6-speed - needless to say she likes it! I think I've created a monster though - she already wants stainless brake lines like my ZHP and is talking about driving down to Spartenburg for RoadsterFest. As if modding out one car wasn't enough!!!!!

nice, z4s r a blast to drive, i really like ur zhp 330ci too, u don't know how lucky u r to have a women whose into cars, my gf couldn't tell the difference between an auto and a stick, she thought the extra pedal was the parking brake lol

Thanks, the Z4 is a blast, especially with top down - they have really taken care of the original complaints with the Z4 -ride is good, handling is great & they sound great! I have actually gotten to drive it twice but don't think I'll see too much of it!

Yeah, I still like my ZHP - put a Conforti Cold Air Intake on it & it is a totally different animal - never realized how restrictive the original airbox was! As nice as it is stock it was so bottled up - now it can breathe and it is going to get me in trouble. Next month I'm planning on having the Dinan oversize throttle-body installed to open it up even more.

Yeah in the last roundel they had a pic of an "M" prototype, looks like they are probably gonna, i hope it will hit the us, at the rate the M6 is going, it may be here before that!!!
