Talking Pretty big impulse buy (with a question)

With all the snow we got this winter I decided I needed a car that can deal with all that crap ... so I bought a Z4 M friday night

I recently got my permit (getting a SSN, while dealing with immigration and a work related move for my wife, took more than a year). Long story short - I needed a car and I really like the Z4 M, so I was planning on ordering one.

My wife and I went to the dealer, just to look. We like doing that every once in a while. This Z4 M had been sitting there in the showroom for quite a while (it's a new 06) and it was not the car I would have spec'ed had I ordered it - but the price the dealer suggested was just too damn good to pass on - so we bought it, and had them drive our X5 home, while we went to dinner in the Z4

My wife is not a fan of the manual gearbox - but she has the X5 so she didn't really care what I chose. I love the car so far - not regretting the purchase one bit It is soo much fun to drive and I must say it looks pretty good

A question though - is there anything I should be aware of after the car sitting in the showroom for a while? I am guessing at least 3 months, likely more. They did put in a new battery, and there is nothing I can pick up on that is wrong. I am taking it in for floor mats (they were free, but out of stock) and a wind deflector install soon - so if there is anything that needs checking that would be a good time.

Anywho - here are some pics (didn't get a good exterior shot - will add that later)

- edit - added pics

Very nice purchase! I'm sure you'll have tons of fun with the car as I did when I drove it at the BMW Performance Center during an ///M Driving Experience.

Awesome car.

Was it sold new? or as a 'Used' car? The reason I ask is because BMW dealers were given up to $11,000 in dec 06' - jan 07' to help clear unsold 06 Z4's...

And i'm curious How good of a deal did you get?

I love the Z4 and because the prices are falling very fast, they might not be out of my price range for much longer...

Sweet! Congrats. I was cozying down in the driver's seat of the M Coupe at the auto show last Friday. Very tempting.
