I just bought a black one last month. Love the car, only tell me how you clean that rear window 😅. Like the aggressive front look of it, boot space is amazing.. electric golf trolley and bag fit in nice 👍 keep your reviews coming 👍 finding accessories difficult to find, fancy a boot mat and the new Z4 rubber mats for winter but silly price from Latvia 🤷🏻‍♂️ not UK

@michaeldoesstuffs Күн бұрын

Cool, glad you’ve got one. I still love mine! There are other videos on my channel where we did a roadtrip over the summer so go and check those out. I’m always amazed at the size of the boot given it’s a roadster, it makes it easy to use as a daily driver. As for cleaning the back window, I’ve not attempted it but I’ve seen some comments online where people say they take the roof part way down which then allows them to access/clean the rear window.

Ye, watched your road trip, a lot of driving and the car certainly ran well apart from dings to your wheels. I’m just outside Edinburgh and have some great long stretches of country roads which I’ve been out on to check how the car handles. My 1st BMW, few Mercs, RS and Lexus’s, was after a Boxster 718 but still little pricey and when the Mrs was getting new Lexus this had been traded in, had a test drive and Sold 😂. NC500 on the cards now 👍

Honestly curious what made you want to do a road trip in the z4? I´ve got a g29 z4 20i (looks like exactly the same spec u got, red exterior, black vernasca interior) here in spain and after 1-2 hours of driving it on the highway im both fatigued and bored. Love it for short trips around town or to pop into the nearby city as you can have a ton of fun on local roads, low speed, traction off etc. but its really not great for long highway trips, doesnt have lane keep or any of the tech its sibling 3,4 series gets, seating position is too low and not enough space behind you to get really comfortable.

@michaeldoesstuffs 24 күн бұрын

I agree that it’s not as comfortable as my other car, and I was a bit concerned before setting off but I actually got used to it and it was fine in the end. The trip wasn’t just about the cars, we went for the adventure and to see lots of different places, there’s not many trips you can do where you see countryside, mountains and palm trees in the same day.

I think it depends what model you get. On the 20i you need the comfort pack but I think it’s standard on the 30i and M40. Worth checking though as it probably changes all the time.

Great to see the sights as I've never been to Benidorm before. Love the fact you highlighted the old town with the more traditional pubs etc. Be great to also hear your experience of Spanish culture/ language/ food/ people: What was your favourite Spanish dish/ Spanish group? (So much more to explore if you ever go in the future than the British bubble that Brits tend to stay in. I find it fascinating that us Brits are quick to criticise foreigners coming to the UK who don't integrate and learn the language and then we go to Spain and do exactly the same!🤣). Look forward to checking out other vids (Quick edit: A lot of the cheapest places to eat in Spain have some great food, so it's not always the case that cheap food=bad food. Also - those folks singing looking pretty miserable - I'm guessing that working in the heat of the day in Spain is anyone's worst nightmare! It's only us foreigners who are mad enough to be out and about in the heat of the day. The locals are literally only there entertaining us - cos we are! I've spent time in some great places that are a bit less touristy in Spain where the locals get out early in the morning and then avoid the heat from around 12pm/1pm/2pm onwards - and then come out in the evenings when it's cooler).

@michaeldoesstuffs Ай бұрын

Thanks for commenting. The Old Town is the closest you'll get to 'traditional Spanish' in Benidorm but it's still some way off other places such as Seville. It depends what you want from the trip. Thanks for watching, I'm still relatively new to KZbin and just did it to learn something new, stay connected to the world my kids live in and have a hobby. Not sure where it will go but I learn with each video.

I really want one. My only major issue with it - and this might be an unpopular opinion - but I actually like hard-top convertibles, and this only comes in soft top. I think hard top convertibles look equally as good as soft tops. Never understood why so many convertible people say soft tops look better. Do they? I don’t necessarily think they look better. Just different. Particularly living in London, a hardtop just feels more secure. But that boot space in the G29 is really amazing (for a convertible). I don’t (and won’t) have kids, so I don’t need to worry about 4 seats. But the E89’s boot is crazy tiny, and the G29 has a really good sized boot.

@michaeldoesstuffs 2 ай бұрын

Check out my other video for a comparison. My advice is, go and sit in an E89 and sit in a G29 then decide. We just came back from a weeks driving across France and I’d rather be sat in the G29. If it’s a daily I’d go for the G29, if it’s a weekend car then an E89 is fine. The hard top is good, but complicated and it’s known to break, plus it adds a lot of weight (which is why they removed it). That said, I like the idea of a hard top due to the reasons you mention. Pluses and minuses to both.

@AndoCommando1000 2 ай бұрын

@@michaeldoesstuffs oh yes. I don’t dislike the G29 by any means. I just sort of wish it came in a hard top convertible option as well. They are both different cars and look quite different. I like the look of both of them, and couldn’t afford a G29 if I wanted one right now. But could afford a well maintained, low mileage second hand 2017-year E89.

@alasdairstuart3394 2 ай бұрын

@@AndoCommando1000 I live in London with my Z4 (soft top) parked on street. Never had a problem. Did worry initially but not for a long time. Benefit of the soft top is the boot space is uncompromised. Which is a real benefit. Agree a hard top has a different look but the profile of the new soft top is pretty much what a hard top equivalent would look like. I think they’ve done an amazing job on it.

All rooms come with Tea making facilities but do charge to refill, so much Cheaper to buy your own tea and coffee for the week. The Hotel bar last year worked out cheaper to buy a drink than it did outside. As I have stayed there 5 times and had a room once over looking the Helios wondering what it was like there as it always gets good reviews. PS Does the Helios sell Strongbow?☺

Very nice video you made there! But take off the stripes mate :) just IMHO. Still congrats on your purchase. Also, if you want to you can find someone to program / code for you that the windows go up after roof folded down. I speed up the operation by coding that the windows don't fully go down when opening the roof in the first place, but only as much as when the roof is closed (1-2 inches perhaps). Then you can also have the ASD (Artificial Sound Design) deactivated by having coded it. I did it because the ASD gave me a headache when driving with the roof up. Oh and wife also said that I bought myself a mid-life crisis car ... :0 and we did a CH, AT, IT roadtrip in the second year we had it. Great experience and you'll have fun I'm sure!
