I have had several BMWs in the past; all R1200RT motorcycles. My wife has has about four 3 series, and we now have a 440i GC. I suppose we like Bimmers. <g>
Today I drive a Mustang coupe. I wanted a Z4 last spring of 2019, but could not find one. Wanted a Mustang convertible but could not find one. So I bought a Mustang coupe. But I have been moaning and groaning with sadness about it ever since. The Mustang is fine, but it's not a BMW, and not a convertible!
So I've started looking around. Wanted a very low mileage CPO, but they are very, very rare. I can afford a CPO or new vehicle, so I am avoiding the used market. I want the warranty; I am an old fart who doesn't want to be bothered with repairs and repair bills.
Been doing my research:
- Correct that the 2019/2020 Z4 3.0i Premium does not have an outside air temperature? I find that hard to believe! My motorcycles all had one. Weird.
- The Owner's manual I downloaded is confusing....does the Z4 have a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that displays on command individual tire pressure for the four tires?
- The Build Sheet I was given on one car doesn't mention a spare tire. Do the Z4s have one of those mini-emergency tires?
- I am hoping the Android phone app for BMW will allow me to remotely start the Z4 with its OEM Remote Engine Start option (1CR). I know there is no Android Auto for BMW, no problem, I don't use that anyway. But remote start is a Must Have for me. That's why other BMWs did not interest me, like the M240i convertible.
I'll post my question elsewhere also as probably many don't read this "Introductory" thread.
