In total we had 2 M Roadsters, an M Coupe, 2 Z3s, a Porsche Turbo cabrio, a Z4 and a...

Should be a Z4 with us.
Nice to see a Z4 planning on attending --its the one we all met on The Lakes Weekend. Remember the one we met by chance at the picnic that was out on his own driving down the road.

Resale values
BMW sales may be high but how many more new customers to the brand have they lost because of his comments. Worse, what effect might his comments have or have had on the resale value of our Zs.
