Not mine, but isn't this a bad idea?

It looks touchless, but the super strong soap they use combined with the recycled water isn't the best for the paint finish.

Yeah, I wouldn't go that route, but touchless is the only acceptable alternative to doing it yourself.

especially when you miss judge how wide the car is and scrape your front rim on one of the guides when you pull in 2 weeks after you buy your first new car which happens to be a Z4 M coupe (all hypothetical of course... I wouldnt be THAT dumb....)

Sounds like someone was subconciously wanting a set of CSL wheels for their new baby :stickoutt

I've taken mine through the touchless wash a few times - works well.

OMG if i had a z4 i would hand wash and wax it every time. i still would never go there with my m3.
even though i work at a auto grooming shop:)

Bring a towel and go to a quarter slot spray-your-own style carwash.
Those are the best for winter and when you cant do it at home, just make sure you dry the important parts thoroughly (windows, locks).

The Z4 Coupe was meant to be a beater. Scratched up wheels and swirled paint are it's god given right. It's a german tank man! I put cigarettes out on the dash and have a cup overflowing with red man in the cup holder.

Of course...I'm kidding

I TRIED that, but my front scraped on the guide rail, so I backed out before going any further then 1 foot :rofl

I normally have mine hand washed but in a pinch I'd go touchless like that.

Don't do it. Hand wash only. If you don't have the time, keep it dirty... but not for too long.
