          Omg I got lucky with this one found a gem.. I did some track time in my previous car (2016 Subaru WRX) but this is my first RWD and need a lot of practice before I get comfortable turning off traction control lol

            Welcome, neighbor! New Berlin here.

            The Z4 is an awesome car! We will have some drives and meets going on this year and I hope you can join us

            Whatever added maintenance costs may exist from bmw ownership should be offset by how much joy you get from driving the car.

            If I see you around, I will honk/wave/pit maneuver you

                Hey I was wondering would I get a notification if there's a post about a meet that's happening? Or is that something I have to keep an eye out for?

                  Welcome! 

                  Keep an eye on the "Local Events" subforum, usually anything we plan/do is posted there.

                  If you're looking to get a feel for RWD without jumping right to the track, a number of us participate in local auto-x events. Its a much safer way to push your car's limits, plus it's tons of fun

                    There is an event calendar but it hasn’t been maintained as diligently as it once was. The meets and drives get posted in the Local Scene forum and mainly just have to be on the lookout. Traditionally there is the Badger Bimmers E30 picnic at Frame Park in Waukesha every May, usually the 3rd Saturday.

                    There is always an “Autumnal Gathering” and usually 1 or 2 other official meets/drives. A handful of folks do track days and autocross together and sometimes there is a trip to Veloce for some karting.

                          Welcome! Looks like you found a great car. If you work on your car yourself, maintenance won't cost much more than anything else. Don't let all of the less informed folks on Facebook scare you.

                                  Yeah in less the 2 years I put in 78k miles and spent over $15k in mods.. Had enough fun with it, can't make more power without sacrificing reliability in those cars so I decided to go another route.. Was a fun car though.

                                    Yeah definitely, right away I can tell it's going to be more fun though in the Z4 M lol.. I did some winter autocross at road America and track days at black hawk farms.. Can't wait to take the Z4!!

                                          Welcome! Did you buy the car locally? I did drive a imola red Z4M once at the dealer back in the day. Fun car!

                                          I picked this up in Chicago, the owner of the dealership said he bought the car at an auction in Florida [emoji1360]
