The fact that the z4 gets an in-line 6 instead of cheaping out and getting a 4 like Porsche is enough of a reason to buy the z4
And so I did, three years ago and far its running very well, its a pleasure to drive.
Mate it’s only the top model that has the 6…
@@zerma6Porsche 718 has mostly 2.0 or 2.5 L turbo
And the 6 cylinder 4.0L version are expensive af
10:40 - RIP tyres...
carwow #worthit :)
Waiting a head to head of z4,boxster and smth else

What about RIP mat’s jeans!!
Less ads pls
Mat: *Picks up a stick*
Cars: *Oh shit, here we go again*
O
Idk but I don’t thing he poke the every day
Was given this by BMW for a few days whilst my car went in... the way this thing drives is soo good steering was so sharp and you carry so much speed through the corners. Very well balanced... front end bite was good too even in the wet.
Takes a good vid to keep me entertained until the end...and this did it. Great review. Helped me a lot. Cheers.
Finally! Mat can try the inductive charger on his new phone 😅
junior 1234 DO NOT CLICK THE LINK
Get out
This car is timeless. Just like Z3. It will always be beautiful.
Who expects an incoming drag race between the z4 , Porsche boxster and audi tt roadstar😍😍
It's spelled roadster XD
Rodstar is its porn name.
Caesius
It’s called making a typo
Rodstar 😂😂
supra and z4
No one:
Mat: But how many bottles can it hold?
Me:Did he just throw the plastic bottle in the woods
One a serious note plz don't do that
Beautiful and cool convertible BMW Z4 the James Bond car. I like the Z4 design, interior and the Swarovsky glass gear lever.
mena seven Unfortunately it’s now Janet Bond.
Matt finally got a new smartphone!!! Thats nice :)
Djordje Vukicevic that seems to be broken because of the purple blob on it
@@charliemolda297 Its not a blob. Because the S10 has an in display fingerprint scanner, the screen protector needs to have a hole in it and on camera, it creates a weird effect where it makes the part of the display that isn't covered by the screen protector, purple.
Finally, he can now show off the new wireless chargers tho
@@echln3209 can use a tempur glass screen protector and it the fingerprint scanner will still work. Someone needs to tell Matt as it makes the phone look as nice as it does when it comes out the box
Stocker
Doug is the type of guy to... Oops wrong channel.
😅
I stopped everything I was doing for this.
I was deep in code and I just left the keyboard...... The companys cyber attack can wait.... It's carwow time now
Correct choice 😉
Same
I get it that you like carwow but you sounds like 15 years old girl looking at shirtless picture of Shawn Mendes
same here
Make comparison video with supra , see how they tune it differently
Jonathan Pratama Yes please.
jon or m340i
To me they are the same car
@@gangsterslyoverhang yes but supra is faster
@@henryolop3069 still no BMW though
We love you MATT, you’re a great person and also your car reviews are great.
Mat and carwow, I love your content but as many have said before, could you consider giving the consumption in liters/100km? And if Mat finds it hard to convert, maybe the editing department could put the info in the video ;) Other than that, keep up the great work! Cheers from Sweden.
Carwow is British and since we measure in mpg it makes sense that he uses mpg...
@@boucheron858 the company carwow only operates in the UK, it's a business that is marketed to UK viewers, it would make no sense to use different units for a market they are not in
Just google the conversion
carwow focusses on the british audience. It's nice that there's people from other countries (like myself) watching as well, but in the end they're british. Carwow is about helping people in the uk get a better deal on new cars. Wouldn't make much sense to give the economy in km/L or L/100KM and make it harder for your target audience
UK should be using liters and kilometers, officially they switched to metric anyways. imperial makes no sense, and I really wonder how much of their viewership is from UK vs rest of the Europe/world. Besides, if Doug Demuro can put metric numbers on screen, so can Carwow, he is just one dude making content afaik.
The new Z4 is wow! What a leap forward from the previous generation. Good review as always Matt.
Really? The previous Z4 looks way better
You could get naturally aspirated engines and a manual gearbox on the last one, and IMO it had a cooler interior
David Zhang Agreed. The facelift Z4 is the best looking car I’ve ever seen.
Its not that fast 340 HP?For 49K pounds!I’d prefer a M2 for less
I like it too
In video this car looks beautiful. The pictures never did it justice. I actually love it.
Great job Mat. You packed a lot into this review and it's REALLY helpful real world stuff. Your content is coming on nicely!
Hey Mat, the side bolsters on the seats are adjustable! I think you missed that switch - big and small fits comfortably in the seat!
I love that you add the little things like acceleration test ...
@matwatsoncars I think you need a better screen protector for your phone , maybe go for white stone dome glass . It doesnt have a hole and is compatible with the in display fingerprint for the galaxy s10 plus. I use it with my galaxy s10 and it is very protective and the fingerprint works really well.
Imagine if they made a real M version of this with an engine from the upcoming M3/M4 with rumored 500 bhp...
They would still add the fucking engine sound speaker thing
@A real bisexual petrol-head that needs some explanation
@A real bisexual petrol-head me hating children makes me curse more tho?
This would be all over the place
With a tune you can easly get 460bhp, check MHD tuning.
Mmm looks good nice review
10:39
Mat flexing his biceps hard AF🔥
Bought the 2020 M40i after watching this review and I couldn't be happier. Have been eyeing the Porsche Boxster Spyder as my next ride but having to pay 40K more and having to get out and manually raise and lower the roof don't know if its really worth it. The Z4 gets looks everywhere you go.
I may just get another Z4 before its rumored BMW will stop production in 2025. Love this ride!
Me too and love it.
Drove all the way to Scotland last summer with roof down and felt fantastic. Engine sounds great and I averaged 32mph without too much overtaking. A fun sporty car !!
Ese Boxster Spider es el coche definitivo para divertirte.
Always wanted to know if it would be practical to buy one of these......
Carwow: uses mind reading abilities and answers my questions for me
Me : I truly can't live without you carwow never leave me please!
You're welcome 😉
5:53 what happened to a light switch just being a normal circular selector?🤔😂
This is actually a car I really like. Utterly impractical at my stage of life, but I still love it. My next car is definately a 540i Tourer since I have kids, dogs, Ikea trips etc. B
Matt, does carbuyer realize what they lost when you left??? Just curious...
Black Paw they fucked up big time losing matt
Wdym
When did he leave ???
@@siddhantyadav450 He used to work for some other company called 'carbuyer' before joining Carwow.
@@thenovicegamer007 ohhhhhh I read that carbuyer as carwow only. my bad my bad
They're punching the air rn
My favourite everyday roadster getting reviewed by my favourite reviewer. Stop everything else, gotta watch it.
I saw a new Z4 demo driving out the BMW garage. In the metal, it looks great. Better than the pictures. Albeit it must have been all specced.
Thank god they’ve kept the 6 cylinders! all the minor problem don’t matter when you’ve got that engine 🙌🏻
Thanks Matt. I've learned so much about a lot of these cars only here.
I even bought 2 Audis I didn't even know were so good.
Thanks again
"Sod the passenger" ref centre console, my thoughts too, best honest line ever! lol loved your narrative on this one thanks! Thank heaven's for car wow! They have saved me money, fact.
Mine's on the ship, coming to Central NY, so excited to drive it. Thanks for the great review!
Dave King how is it dave
Man that drifting around the cameraman put a damn smile on my face. I feel like a little child who just got a gift LOL
11:23 sounds exactly like the announcements on trains
WOW. The 1st and maybe only demo with golf clubs!!! Thank you
I don't know why you said to shortlist the Z4, Mat? I am loving it, in fact I might just go right ahead and buy it!!!
The roof might be soft, but the car is harder than the old Z4
And the roof operates up to 50km/h, god that's so useful, my E89's roof only move up to 10km/h
That's better than my e85 which you have to be still.
Miata guys with a manual soft top: IT OPERATES AT ANY SPEED
I didnt really like it at first.. But after this video I've changed my mind. It actually looks really good in that spec. It even got Matt wet
MoeGameZzz For me it was the opposite... After the review I thought the styling is just awful. Great engine of course but it fails in the looks department...
@@bingobongo1615 Fair enough, sometimes things grow on people and other times they fade away haha. Life
Me too, I think it's down to Mat's review
7:50 great pronunciation of the acronym BMW
I think the Unique selling point of your videos is the analysis of the interior quality that you! So important to know for a car.
The bong sound you get is much better than the other old cars
4:17 favourite foo fighters album 😍 nice video btw
Most beautiful car in its segment
Good sports car for looks and packed with tech also affordable 😃
“That’ll teach me not to litter”
*leaves the bottle on the ground*
I like cabriolet cars especially BMW cabriolet. Excellent review 👌
Can you make a review of rolls royce cars review ?
Cause your review is the best. Please make...
@Alpha and Omega Wrong. They've done reviews for Mclarens and Bentleys, which I doubt they had 'discounts' on.
stepping on the water bottle...... that's so obviously staged, lol
I would like to think it was a genuine accident that was then restaged to get the closup.
Ross Bourne it’s true, but Mat don’t expect the splash of waters got to his pant and get wet LOL
A nice point in the video to stop and decide not to watch this channel again.
Brian Plum ffs ... get a life!
@@neli5p What a loser!
I really like this car. I remember wanting the Z3 after seeing it in a James bin movie...then it just progressed on from there....its like driving a shoe and for me, it feels great to drive...I have a family now, so not too sure i can warrant the need for this z4....damn
I don’t know why, and it’s not the car, but this is one of the best reviews you’ve done!
2013 Z4 is my childhood, I enjoy riding with my father, I’m quite disappointed that the 2020 version doesn’t have a hard roof
Would have preferred a hardtop, but it is still an absolutely stunning car. Just wow.
The new Toyota Supra is essentially the hard top version of this car: ua-cam.com/video/FblJGCdMlds/v-deo.html
Do a comparison to the v6 jaguar f type pleaseee
They're not remotely in the same price range why would anyone compare them?
Great review Mat! Would love to own one of these one day. I have the E89 35iS & It's a joy to drive and this one would give me the same feeling Just with all the updated tech! Must get a Drag Race between the Boxster & TT Roadster & This!
He barely cut things out from his video.. thumbs up
You can order the wind deflector on its own from factory at £170, I just done it
, but yes it should be standard.
Great review as always! I currently own the previous gen and having also owned the equivalent TT roadster (8J) and driven the SLK of the era I believe the BMW is the sportiest of the bunch. Obviously second to the Boxster/Cayman but also somewhat cheaper to buy and run. I would assume the new gen still keeps second place on sportiness, right Matt??
You can really see the same type of DNA in the new Z4, that I have with my '07 Z4M. It's crazy to see how much bigger the new Z4 is next to the original Z4's.
Is that because Toyota helped design and engineer it?
Now compare it to a z3 and weep.
Who's ready for the M8 and the M8 Gran Coupe?
Edit: and the New McLaren GT
Telluride
Unveil June 2019!!! I’m ready to seeee
Waiting for a M8
Cant wait no longer
If you go into the interior car settings menu on the Entertainment Tablet, you get more options for the display behind the steering wheel.
You also get more options for the head up display.
The roof operation stops when out of range so that it doesn't impale someone when you're sitting on your keys in the livingroom, after jumping up to celebrate the latest score.
Hmm, Matt has finally upgraded his phone to a Samsung S10 so that he could demonstrate wireless charging :P
please do a review on a Mercedes AMG c43
Hmm, I think I’d have the optional Toyota badge package...
That's below standard equipment.
nice one
Less powered supra is faster than more powered z4 which is 0 to 60 in 3.9sec amazing
Not if you want a convert, and better styling.
@S Schroeder: Let’s not forget the Supra is 20% cheaper than the BMW on which it’s based, the engine might have a lower output in the Supra model but the 0-100 time sings a different tune.
I’d be a fool to compare driving and handling characteristics having not driven either of these cars myself, however, based on the general consensus from all the different reviews I’ve been watching, Toyota has paid very careful attention to the fine tuning of the Supra and it would seem it’s more dialled in than the Z4.
As for the looks, well that’s purely subjective, I personally like some aspects of the Z4’s design, there’s a few angles where it seems to go a bit wrong. (However, everyone has their own taste)
I personally think the new Supra is simply gorgeous, there’s very little that I’d change with its design, they’ve knocked it out of the park. I personally think the Z4 could use a tweak here or there, it’s not 100% but then again few cars are...
Between the two the Supra is the obvious choice for people with any sense, it’s cheaper, more dialled in, comes with a Toyota warranty, has a comparatively more sought after nameplate (The ‘Supra’ part, not so much the ‘Toyota’ part), and lastly in my opinion (subjective) it’s much better looking. Due to its nameplate and depending on how many they finally produce it’ll probably hold its value better than the Z4.
I personally wouldn’t pay the BMW premium over the Supra to have the Z4, the Z4 is much less desirable to me personally than the Supra.
Having said that, these two cars are targeting two very different markets, I personally wouldn’t say they directly compete against each other, you either want a Supra or you want a Z4, they’re for different types of people.
Anyways, I’ve babbled on longer than needed, good fuel for discussion, cheers mate.
People overreact about BMW reliability, I’ve owned mine a whole year and I’ve only had to replace the turbo, driveshaft, radiator, soon the transmission. That’s it.
It's amazing! I'm 17 years old and I've my own bmw z4
.
In Asphalt 9
Lol it's not very useful
I love this car.... I don't understand the lukewarm reception it's been getting.
BMW "Supra".
Mr Watson i love your reviews,your the best.I love this BMW Z4.
Thinking of an E class cabrio, would love a review of the E53.
Mercedes 😍
ordered mine cant wait
You are very entertaining matt. ..keep up the good work!
Been following this channel for a few years.. oh gosh... how much Mat has aged...
“So the driver can have their arm resting on there. Sod the passenger!” Lol
Back end looks good, front end, ehhh.
i looove the front
I like the front, but I hate that BMW ditched the Coupé
14:00 so glad I live in the US were back up cameras are standard on all cars
I‘ve seen one in person today (not the roadster). Stunning vehicle!
Styling a bit over fussy but looks good in this colour. Miles ahead of the SLC in driving and tech though so might take a look at a used one in a couple of years !!
konicky in 3-4 years these will be a great car for the money and still the most up to date shape
Teacher : okay class, give us your best tongue twister.
Matt: 1:44
So Matt u ditched the oneplus and got s10+ 😀👍
Doesn't matter what Android phone as soon as it is Android, not apple crap :)
Yea, ios sucks
Great review thanks. The wife has now bought one and absolutely loves it.
Thanks, been looking for a supra review
Finally! A half decent review of the new Toyota Supra (:
10:40. Hey mat why not act as a racer in fast and furious. U can really race and drift greatly. U hv the racing blood in you
Oh go lick his ring you turd
This is the kind of car I imagine myself driving in the summer in Europe wearing a red dress 😍
Summer is coming so come in Athens Greece to drive with me my poor Z3 side by the beach... oh! and wear whatever you like
great video, it was interesting to hear that in this 6 CYL Z4 that it can do 0 to 100Kph (60mph) in 4.5 seconds when you can do that in a 2.0L 4CYL Turbo Porsche 718 Cayman and Boxter
Picking up my red with white interior 2020 M40i on December 6, 2109 at the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg South Carolina.
There is a typo in your title, it should read “Toyota Supra 2019 in-depth-review”
Hope you can correct it soon.
Daaaamn you're original
🤔
@@carwow he got it the other way round
Loot Box - yes but I’ll save that for the Supra review 😛
carwow - sorry, couldn’t resist a crap joke! 😛
Awesome leather seats! ✌️
1:21 an interrrrresting design 😂😂😂
I just bought a z4 m40i i love it
love the pointing stick Matt
Wait a second.
You can't even turn the bloody engine sound thing off?!
Still waiting for a good review on the new CLA Coupé please :)
iTombos same
That is an absolute beaut of a car, Sad news for C class and 3 series.
The front resembles the Kia Stinger.
I currently drive a 2016 Miata, hopefully this will be my next car!
Side by side, the E89 looks a LOT better than the new G29. You can see that the designers of the older model had the classic BMW 507 in mind when it was being conceived. The G29 looks like a Merc from the back and Mazda from the front. I think I'll be keeping my E89. I think I'll get a Porsche or an R8 next and skip this variant. That won't be for a while though as I love my hardtop convertible.
