| ![]() The paddles on the Z4/650i/X6 are completely un-intuitive . And yes , in Europe the Z4 is available with a 6-speed as well. Not sure about the Indian spec version. |

![]() Thanks! So far I also favored black, have 3 black cars. But on this one, no other color brings out the lines as this color combo does. | ||

| ![]() Saw a sweet looking brand new white Z4 in Vashi. Must add that it is wider and lower than what it looks like in the pictures. Just few mins before that saw a white X6 weaving through traffice on palm beach road, will upload pictures later. Last edited by heavy_foot : 16th March 2010 at 19:06. Reason: added info |

This is the same motor I have in my 335. Codename N54. I love how responsive it is. The new F10 5 series will get the N55 motor with a single twin scroll turbo, as opposed to the asymmetrical twin turbo setup in our cars. As I am sure you have experienced, the car feels stupid fast from a dead stop and even faster with a foot of roll off. The BIGGEST problem I have had with my ride is that I have had 3 HPFPs die off on my in 2.5 years of ownership, not something that I am happy about. Trust me its no fun driving in limp mode! Anyway, its a common problem stateside thanks to the ethanol content in the gas. I am unsure if gas there has any ethanol in it. Just my 2 cents worth of advice. Happy motoring, and look forward for some amazing stories from you. | |

So you've had the dreaded HPFP failure - that's bad. BMW's increased warranty on those till 10 years / 120,000 miles. Thankfully, I haven't had one till date - fingers crossed. | |

It does take a while to get used to the thumb and fingers rutine but once you are on it, you just dont want the auto box anymore. I use the Paddles all the time and i love it. The same force is needed ssp either your fingers are not falling in the right place, it happens if you are yet getting used to it. I change the gears gently in both upshifts and downshifts. You dont need a lavasa to get used to the Paddles, the city is fine for it ![]() Ecks the 325i comes with a 6 speed, so the Z4 should also be a 6 speed, it shares the same engine as the 335i | ||||

| ![]() Hello Ssp, Your Blue Z4 Looks Fab !! I Just Had A Question. What Do You Think Of The Ground Clearance ? Can The Z4 Take Normal Indian Speed Breakers? Is It A Problem Going Off A Single Road While 2 Cars Are Passing? |

![]() Accord Z4 Length: 194.1in 166.9in Width: 72.7in 70.5in Height: 58.1in 50.8in So its as much (or little) of a hindrance as an Accord in width. | |
