Ownership Review of the infamous 'Lucifer' BMW Z4

Oh. My. GOD.

(Those three words sum up pretty much my entire take on your thread, but if I left it at that the mods would delete my post).

I HEART the Z4. I think it's without a doubt the nicest looking Beemer to come out of Munich in a very long time. You've picked the best shade for it, too.
What does it for me is the classical roadster proportions... the stubby trunk and the long hood... it's so wonderfully reminiscent of the roadsters of the 60s (and seems to be an extremely overt tribute to the 507 roadster that you've posted a pic of). In fact it's the 507 that inspired the next half century of BMW two-door ragtops, and the Z4 is all the better for it.

Despite my extreme envy right now (at your car AND your photography skills) I wish you many miles of motoring happiness.
Drive safe.
