Saw it on my way home tonight, looks better in person than photos. sdrive35 logo on the side looks more tacky in person as well. There were some of the painted canvas pieces under it and also splattered paint on the side and wheels. 4 art cars at the other end of the room as well, the 320, M1, 3.0CSL, and 635. Very cool to see them so close and in person, stop by if you have a chance

For some reason BMWs always look better in real life than in the photos. That's why I never get too worried when I see a new model in pics and it doesn't seem to look very good. Got to see it and sit in it at the Dallas auto show. It's niiiiccceee. The soft top folks may rebel, but I predict the vast majority of buyers will love it. I'm not a big fan of the E93 'vert. I don't care for its three panels. They're too big and I don't like the very visible cut lines. The two piece unit on the Z4 is much, much better.

I agree with what you're saying but I would like to add that I think the folding hardtops look far better than soft.

If your right across the street just walk over and check but I read somewhere they are supposedly there thru April 6th.

I went over for lunch today and there it was! Wow, that is a beautiful car in person. Much prettier and looks a little larger than the current Z4. I am going to have to take one for a spin in May. I was pretty set on the 328i but this may change that.

A better way to say it is:

This thread is worthless without pics! :rolleyes:
