Kirby, saw your reply to this question. Thought I'd ask you my question, so here goes...
I'm looking at a 2005 Z4 2.5 manual trans. I started out looking for a 3.0i, then found what appears to be a very good deal on a 2.5 that is very well equipted. I don't have the experiance with this car to know how big a difference there is between the 2.5 and the 3.0. Also, can this combo handle the 18" wheels? The dealer is really trying to sell me this car so he's offering to replace the standard 2.5 wheels. I'm not looking for a race car, but don't want to be disappointed with my first BMW. HELP!!!
