plzz

don´t make your choice from pictures

make it from person!!!
when you´re standing next to it you don´t see these edges so much.
i have driven the 2.5 with hardtop already... because my dad works for webasto.. they produce the hardtop!.

and believe me it looks so good!!!

[crayzayjay]

i have faith in you Menu, i will take your word for it

[Menu dei Motori]

thanks!
believe me.. it´s sweeeet.
alst friday i have driven the 3.0 but with automatic :-(
and a porsche cayenne turbo.. wow that is a great vehicle...
but i cannot take pictures there...
high security cause of the prototypes...

[crayzayjay]

wow... you drove the Cayenne Turbo .. that must have been scary, although im assuming you didnt cane it (go too fast).

you mentioned prototypes... where exactly did you go?

[Menu dei Motori]

it´s the company my dad works for as a freelancer.
he once was empoyed but got kicked out.. the chief who kicked him out was kicked out too, cause he kicked my dad
then he did some other stuff and now they want him and need him again

it´s OASYS open air systems
two firms work together
Webasto and pinninfarina...

[crayzayjay]

I see... Good for your dad!! so what exactly does the company do? Im assuming they work closely with/for BMW

[Menu dei Motori]

they build cabrio closing and openig mechanism (sorry i don´t know the exact word)
mini cabrio for example (the new one)


.... it will get a sunroof in the cabriolet mechanism ( but quiete )

or the diablo roadster

[crayzayjay]

a sunroof in a cabrio??? thats pretty impressive, but whats the point?

[Menu dei Motori]

what dou you mean with ... "what´s the point?

sry... my english...

[crayzayjay]

it means "what is the purpose", what is the reasoning, what is the logic.... i mean, a sunroof in a coupe, ok. it makes sense. but in a cabrio, it makes no sense

[Menu dei Motori]

yea...
that´s what i also think...

let´s wait and see...

[crayzayjay]

i didnt think of this before.. is it a sunroof in a folding hardtop?

[Menu dei Motori]

i´m not sure but i think so

I saw the Z4 in person yesterday. It is truly a lot nicer in the flesh than in pics. I sat in it and it has simple but nice interior. It is also less expensive than a lot of BMW's other sports cars. For around $35k, you are getting a true BWW sports car.
