Test Drive, April 2006 Apr 15, 2006

My understanding wife promised me a new BMW roadster for my big 5-0 birthday at the beginning of 2007. However, missing out on an entire summer of top-down fun did not seem reasonable (at least to me!) and in the Spring of 2006 I was starting to get some serious interest for my Z3. By mid-April, 2006 a deal to sell my Z3 privately was starting to come together and it was getting time to take a more serious look at the just-introduced Z4 M Roadster.
