I didn't like the Z4 when it first came out but it's starting to grow on me. Still think my '94 325i "M-package" Euro spec manual BMW was the best I've ever had. Can't wait to get my 535i next month but the 325 in the twisties is hard to beat!

No can do. I've been waiting for this car since June and intend on driving it daily for a long, long, time. I've been without a BMW of any type since July when I sold my previous car and have been going nuts. I've even borrowed a friends car on and off during this period just to satisfy my BMW fix. I'm addicted and there's no cure but my 535!

Yep that was back when BMW still cared about saving weight and having cars that handle exceptional. They are still leaps and bounds above the competition, but they have lost some of their mojo. I got a new 95 325 when I was sixteen, to this day I still miss the car. It was a more mechanical (nuts & bolts) type car.
Great car, great engine. Congrats.

I really wanted to bring my 325i back to the states but trying to convert it to US specs proved just too expensive. There are so many nice cars here in Europe at very good prices if you don't mind getting one that's a few years old...some many years older. For example. A friend of mine recently purchased a '94 740iL (for a song) and it is in absolutely outstanding condition inside and out. It has 250,000+ KM, is still capable of reaching its rated top speed and has no mechanical issues. Great looks and great performance and still going strong 13 years later...amazing!
