Now that the Apple iPhone 3G is in Malaysia officially from a certain telco that prefers to serve me my phone calls via missed call SMS notifications rather than actual phone calls for the past 3 weeks, fans of both the Apple iPhone 3G and the BMW Z4 can download this new game called the BMW Z4 Expression of Joy app from the iTunes App Store. It’s free and supports both the iPhone 3G and the iPod Touch.
It essentially allows you to do the exact same thing as what the dude did in a previous video, create your own “abstract art” on what appears to be a virtual snow rink. Before you do that, you can customise your Z4 to a certain extent, such as colours, whether the roof is up or down (it’s got a convertible hard top now) and what wheel design you want. Definitely a very glorified MS Paint, but something to do when you’re bored at least.
I don’t have an iPhone 3G or an iPod Touch, but it should be easy to look for in the iTunes Store, just look for BMW Z4 or something. Let me know if you find it!
Check out a video of the game after the jump.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

still havent catch one the iPhone madness, heard there are people who just create a 3D diamond wallpaper and sold it for thousands on the apple portal, sigh… dont they have a way to spend their money? like donate to my-first-camry-foundation setup by me. LOL!
rather spend my every cents on a proper Nokia, Samsung, HTC or Sony Ericsson…
the features of this silly Epal iFoon (except the nice touchscreen) are way behind many models from other manufacturers….. and yet still having a ridiculous price tag…..
the Z4 is another story though, hehez…..
I personally use a Nokia E90 and it's fantastic.
iPhone is only for people who have time to explore it…once u open the possibilities than its great..so many apps to play with… =)

epal fon too overpriced by tat telco…can gt unlocked version down south for almost a grand less!!…n it will still work in malaysia…tat telco milkin malaysian..
Nice free app, and of course, downloaded it straight away for my iphone after reading this.
What a coincidence! I just downloaded the application earlier today, and you've mentioned it too. Anyway, my mini-review:
Its a pretty good app. I mean, firstly, its FREE, which is always a good thing. You are able to customise your BMW Z4, from colour, to rims, and even have the roof up or stored away. You then drive the car (turning using the motion-sensor) and paint on the flat white surface (similar to the ad video). Your even allowed to change camera angles (there's one with the in-car view!). You are also able to change the paint colours, selecting from blue, red, yellow and clear. After all this is done, you can save your masterpiece. (You can also save a picture of your car from the customisation screen, which is stored together with the photo's you've taken).
On top of this, they have also crammed photo's of the artists with the Z4 and a short video. And finally, they have a short 'making-of' document to read.
That is a LOT of stuff for a free application. Its definitely worth downloading.
On the side note, there is also an Audi A4 driving challenge application, and a 2010 Volkswagen Polo driving game (which strangely doesn't utilise the motion-sensor like the A4 and Z4 apps).
The VW Polo Racing Game is way better… You can race around tracks within specified time limit and unlock the next track. There are 8 tracks total. The game is free as well, one of the most (No. 3 as of now)
now the iphone 3G S is out and current iphone 3G price is cut to USD 99 (abt. RM 350), but i wonder if the price in m'sia is within this range. haih~
