Well, it was the Audi's time to go (lease is up in ~3 weeks), so my family just picked up an 06 Z4 3.0si. It's Titanium Silver, with black interior, premium and sport packages, plus heated seats and xenon headlights. It's a great car, and I can't wait to see what it'll do ;). Too bad I leave for college in 10 days, so I won't have much time to drive it. Pics to come soon (*cough* Jack? *cough*).

Cool I like the Z4, I read Z4 has increased sales 250% compared to the Z3.

Not manual, unfortunately, and they don't have the SMG for the Z4 anymore. It's a 6-speed auto, but it seems to be a pretty good gearbox. The shifts are pretty quick, and i love the paddle-shifters.

Oh, and heated seats because 1. they were already installed on the car (this was from Bert Smith, where it was the only silver 3.0si in stock, while Reeves had none), and 2. when it gets down to... well, 50... you can turn on the heated seats if it gets a bit chilly, and keep the top down. Helps extend the functional usage window of the convertible top.
