That's a great review thank you. I have ordered one of these in Sapphire Black with the Black Pack also but have gone with the ivory leather. I shall be watching this video several times a day at least in ancipiation for mine.
Thank you I am so pleased you enjoyed it. Your new car will look great with the contrasting interior(I also have done a POV review on the channel) when are you expecting the car, are you in the uk as well
@@DamoDrives I'm in West Sussex. I looked at buying the x demo Z4 M40i from Halisham BMW in your video but opted for a factory order in the end as the discounts are very good. Mine arrives end of August.
Really loving my 2020 Z4 in Florida! Also a unicorn, you do not see many on the road like every other car, maybe because of a decline for the market for roadsters, but like you said, just be selfish; ha. BMW has always done a 2 seater roadster very well as far as I am concerned for the money. I went with the silver with cognac leather combo with the M package, & yes everyone else checks it out for sure, especially the man with the minivan lol.
For the money, you get more (much) than the Porsche. If you have to add all the features to the Boxster, you get an addition as long as a bridge. I have driven both and both are fantastic cars. The Porsche is better for the WE fun ad the Z4 for the every day driving.
Having recently driven a cayman I completely agree , the driving position is better in the cayman and more focussed but would rather save a bit of money and get the z4
It’s simply down to the engine between the Boxster S and the Z4M40i. The boxster is still a sharper tool but the 4 pot is blown away by the straight 6 of the BMW. For that reason I presently have a Z4M40i being built in Germany. Collection in 2 weeks 👌
Z4 M40i just test drive one today amazing took me back to my 2006 Z4M and my original 2004 Z4 3.0 se the build quality on these lates cars are out of this world especially compared to my current BMW which 2016 435d M Sport xdrive...think an Ofer going in for new Z4 😎
It was such good build quality and rather fun especially in the great weather (it has been rather odd weather in the south east the past few months) my 1st bmw on the channel so not a bad way to start 😊
MotorSport & Dream Cars Should see if BMW will give you the keys for the new X2 M35i think that might be something special and also insight into the next hot Mini 🤔
This is my 1st video with bmw so hopefully if this goes well I can ask 😊. Next generation of minis should be interesting and certainly sharing engines and AWD systems will be good (maybe they will make minis cheaper 😂) are you in the uk as wondering what the roads are like you tested the car on
I was going to buy a Boxter S , but realised that for the same price as I bought my 30 month, high spec immaculate M40i I would get a 10 year old, low spec Boxter S, so my head ruled my heart! Pleased with my decision as it’s fabulous.
Sounds good. Looks good but as a sporty roadster, the Porsche is still king and looks superb. I think it sounds well for a 4 cilinder but not as good as the 6 from Z4
Luckily, I really dislike gesture controls along with voice controls as they never seem to work very well with me. They should get google or Apple to design voice controls as I never have problems with my phone
From the front it looks great. From the back I'm not so sure would I go for that. For that money If I was buying for looks I would be going for a Alpha Romeo 4C, for drive I would look at the Mazda MX-5. This BM great for a weekend away but not as a live with cabrio for me personally.
It’s very difficult to choose the perfect car and yes the 4c is a good looking car. I would say it does everything well, not as pretty maybe as the 4c but better than the mx5, maybe not as driver focused as a Boxster but generally a better overall package although I won’t be having this issue just yet 😂.
I have 2xe28's (1986 5 series-m535i,Alpina b10-kit not factory), e30 coupe with m30b35 engine & transmission (from my wrecked e34-it got faded/weather beaten from outdoor storage).After world currency reset I'd like to get e30 Baur.
@@DamoDrives Yeah.I love Alpinas. would love e24 6 serirs. e38 Alpina 7 series.I love old bmw's- undervalued, stylish & well engineered, I think (I may be O.C.D. though!)
I personally don’t care what people think of my car choice, if I can afford 1 and like it does it matter. Think it was ana amazing and fun car 😊. Would you get 1
Are you saying what you think off BMW owners rather than what you believe others think? I own a 2019 m140i which is one of the most under stated hot hatchbacks out there, I'm not a road bully and i always use the indicators, so if you or anyone else believes im a part then there's not a lot I can do to change that view.
With most things not just cars it should be what puts a smile on your face (it’s your hard earned money at the end of the day) not driven he 140i but doing a rod review of the M135 this weekend
@@DamoDrives 2020 model m135i? I wanted the new Z4m40 but deals were just not available 6 months ago so went for the end of production 2019 m140i dont need the practicality of a hatch but until z4 m40 deals are more negotiable this will be fine for now
Wilhelm Taylor if that’s the only problem with the video then I’m impressed and you managed to watch nearly all of the video as well. I hope other than not saying Porsche correctly you enjoyed it
@@DamoDrives - I certainly did enjoy your article. You may be able to tell from my given name that I have a German background (adopted by GI in Germany, 1960) so whenever I hear people drop the "e" I ask them how they pronounce "Plymouth Volare". It's nice that you can even sing that, but only correctly. "Volare, oh, oh, oh, oh".
@@DamoDrives Well the people walking past, never gave the car a first look, let alone a second. That's not been my experience with the previous gen2 car.
@@DamoDrives Yes and still surprise me how many people look at the car. The new one in black, saw one a few days ago, almost past me by before i realised what it was.
If it is worth a thousand CAR DEALERS will sell it for Ten thousands, if it worth ten thousands, the car dealers will sell it for hundred of thousands. Guarantee it. But if you already paid for it, but you change your mind for whatever reason is, if it worth ten of thousands the CAR DEALERS will take it back for one hundred of dollars. Who is not agree with me? You should write back to me, please don’t cowardly vote thumb down.

Did you get it from Chandlers in Hailsham ?? And wondering if you said you had seen my video
what was your reg number. I've just bought one in this spec.?
Great review! Just got my San Francisco red M40i and it is hands down the ultimate driving machine’s ultimate iteration - absolutely superb car!
Congratulations on the new car 👏 and pleased you enjoyed the video

Brought a z4 m40i yesterday 10 September 2023.
Red with oyster leather fully loaded
Very nice, especially in the nice weather

You lucky person you must be really excited and I bet the 2 weeks is taking ages lol, what colour and any extras on the car 👏👏
I think it's actually built in Austria. I got the s30i and waiting for the M40i.

I think the BMW is a better all round car although the porsche would probably hold its value better
going to get my z4 next week, how is your experience so far ?
My x3m40i does 0-60 in 3.5 secs, (edit: 4.5 seconds) carries the mail and is very comfortable. Handles like a dream. I wouldn't trade.
That’s rather impressive and like you said practicality by the bucket load 😳
Yeah right... 3.5 seconds.... Not
AWD does make them a bit lively but cannot comment on actual numbers having never driven 1 😳
@@SuperWolffie - You are correct, type: should be 4.5s.
Still quick for a vehicle like that 👏. M850i this weekend which is pretty quick as well
Very refreshing comments....though I need to know the verdict on comparison with Boxter S
John Thomas thank you John, I need to get a Porsche dealer to lend me a booster s 😊
Cracking video it looking amazing
Sarah JParker it was a. Rey enjoyable car especially with the top down in the amazing weather that weekend 😊😊
Sounds good. Looks good but as a sporty roadster, the Porsche is still king and looks superb. I think it sounds well for a 4 cilinder but not as good as the 6 from Z4
From reading what journalist have written so NOT my opinion the z4 is a better all round car
FYI, no gesture control on the Z4 (thank god!)
Luckily, I really dislike gesture controls along with voice controls as they never seem to work very well with me. They should get google or Apple to design voice controls as I never have problems with my phone
If money is no object then this isn't the best. If money matters this is a nice choice
Yes I agree completely, what a problem to have if money was no limit 😂
If money wasn’t an object what would be a better choice?
Something thing like am Aston Martin , Lamborghini , or 720s Spyder
From the front it looks great. From the back I'm not so sure would I go for that. For that money If I was buying for looks I would be going for a Alpha Romeo 4C, for drive I would look at the Mazda MX-5. This BM great for a weekend away but not as a live with cabrio for me personally.

I find the back looking awesome, the front not so much...
The front headlamps look a lot like the new Mercedes models.
A lot of cars have parts that look Like other cars but it’s not a bad thing as I like both manufacturers 😊
Yes yes yes
Guess you like the car 😎
Nice Bavanese Moyota Worpra!Looks good, but I prefer olde skool BMW!
Craig Pilgrim which era of bmw do you prefer and are you are bmw owner ?
I have 2xe28's (1986 5 series-m535i,Alpina b10-kit not factory), e30 coupe with m30b35 engine & transmission (from my wrecked e34-it got faded/weather beaten from outdoor storage).After world currency reset I'd like to get e30 Baur.
That’s an impressive number of BMW’s 👏
@@DamoDrives Yeah.I love Alpinas. would love e24 6 serirs. e38 Alpina 7 series.I love old bmw's- undervalued, stylish & well engineered, I think (I may be O.C.D. though!)
What you get the Z4 or Porsche 718 Boxster s
Z4
Mark Learmonth good choice although I really do need to get a new 718 on the channel as well
have both prefer the m40i more solid daily
It was such a well built car and looks great but will hold judgement completely until I have driven a Boxster s😊
of course boxster
It just better than the Benz c43 coupe
sam wang I have not had the chance to review the c43 but the z4 is a really good car
Give it a year and then let me know
Don’t think BMW will give me a car for a year , although that would be very nice 😂
BMW used to be an aspirational brand. Now there is a stigma attached to them so own one & you get classed as a show-off prat.
I personally don’t care what people think of my car choice, if I can afford 1 and like it does it matter. Think it was ana amazing and fun car 😊. Would you get 1
