I love my 2003 e85 Z4 57k miles. Same engine noise, same top speed, same trunk space, same fabric roof and weigths only 1260 kg. I've had it for many years and still looks like the day it came out of the dealer. It's not so quick though.
me 2, the only real problem i have with it is the sound. itr's really just way, way too tame and muffled. Also, the gear changes and shifts could be more brutal in sport setting but yeah, it's not an M car after all so that's forgiven. But sound, man. Why couldn't they have it the way it is in comfort and some nice sound in sport. :(
@@srbishkrst that's all well and good but in my opinion, if i buy a 80k+ sporty roadster, i shouldn't have to get an aftermarket exhaust. at least not because it sounds like nothing. different flavours and taste in exhaust notes is something subjective but no sound at all? that's just not enough.
@@Jayson_Tatum yeah. to be fair, it sounds allright for an OPF. Still cou ld be better but i blame the regulators for this not BMW. it's a great handling car though. very competent on the road
Max....... you have to remember you are trying these cars for a few miles in general. You say this one is almost too quiet and not seat of the pants type driving. But..... anyone buying a car uses it sometimes for hours a day and not everyone wants a lot of noise and suspension set up for track use ect.
well well, i guess there's different drive modes for that, isn't it? the car is way too silent and tame even in sport. Comfort mode is good for comfort inthis car though. Coming from an actual owner
Launch Control in the predecessor E89 worked only if you put mode "sports plus", gear in sport, put it manually in gear 1 (!), hit brake and gas, release brake. Are you sure that you used the launch control correctly? my E89 shows a racing flag on the display, when it's activated
Maybe there is a Z4 M coming? We all know that BMW M is able to do really potent sportscars and the M Performance lineup is just filling the gap between the normal BMWs and the Ms. So I'm glad you liked it, but keep in mind this car wasn't built to be a full sportscar. It's meant to be a compromise between fun and comfort.
No I don't think there will be a true M car of the G29. I think that people who can really handle the M40i at its limits are satisfied with its performance and people who want the M model for the bling will get an M8.
@@latlak The G29 is already a niche product, I doubt they will make an even more rare version of that. Too expensive to make and no market or competition ahead.
Ik heb de oude Z4, de E89 35iS (inmiddels 187dkm). Zelfde blok andere automaat. De E89 is bedoeld voor snel cruisen. GT. Geen sportwagen. Deze Z4 probeert meer richting Porsche te gaan. Ik heb erin gereden (M40i) en het is een betere auto (wegligging) dan mijn E89, maar het zou vreemd zijn als dat anders was. Voor wat ik zoek (vakanties en lange weekenden) met comfort blijf ik bij mijn E89. Voor sneller werk zou ik naar de Boxter gaan.
This is by far no bad car! The Z4 with this engine - or better "THIS" engine is so great. A straight six / inline six engine like this sounds awesome and has a lot of potential. I have the straight six TriTurbo Diesel engine in the X5 and am amazed by its raw power and torque.
Fingerlickin Z4 ☝️👍🏅☮🐞🌻 I thought I would prefer the new Toyota Supra instead, but know I think I'm wrong... Sorry BMW, now I'm back!! 😘 ps: well presented , thx Mx☝️✌🍀💋
M140 is just as quick for £20k less, also looks better. For £50k you'd buy the M2 Comp over the Z4 M40i all day long (if you wanted a BMW). The Boxster is better than the Z4
BMW just keeps doing what they should do, not like audi or mercedes, BMW's are still got a value, even exhaust its not a fake (like audi even S). That's why i think BMW right now it's the best choice what you can do, if you want a new car. Great reviev Max!
@@hlulanishivambu8867 you can forgive that sound from speakers, anyway if noone tell you that you dont know if that sound is from real or speakers so... But fake exhaust its the worst shiet ive ever seen 👍
I have an e89 I just couldn't accept the way this car looks. The e89 had A LOT MORE THOUGHT in design. This is still a great car but as an e89 owner I would not switch for this. Another problem I have is the interior. The e89 interior was designed to be timeless. It was given a bespoke interior. This new gen z4 shares the same interior cookie cutter design as many other 3 series. They even give you an option to hide the screen as they knew that would make the car look dated. I'm sure a lot more engineering went into this car but from a design standpoint this car is not an improvement.
@@mokate56 He talked about S model. I am asking about base one, with comparable price. I 've driven base Boxster and 4 cylinders Z4 30i, Porsche does not have advantage in every aspect. Has got worse dash/interior, etc.
Max, I'm currently planning on placing an order for the 30i version (m40i is out of question, yearly taxes on cars with that much hp in my country are stupidly high). What I'm worried about is that it won't have enough power to feel "special" or as sporty as I'd like it to be. Do you reckon the Z4 is worth getting even without going for the top engine spec?
Because there's so much more to a car than just an engine. The Supra chassis is one of the stiffest in the industry, and that's just one of many other factors.
Liberal Tears ik😂 but watch Carwow video the Supra is much faster than the z4 because the z4 is a convertible and the Toyota has slightly more horse power , did you know Toyota said that the Supra has the same horse power but it definitely has more the car is so good when you launch control it it’s literally insane
@Liberal Tears 100% is a lie and you know it. Its probably 40% to 60%. There is a reason why the supra is alot faster in drag races and on track than the Z4.
Brad0st Supra beat the z4 because of an agreement with toyota, BMW tuned the Supra engine for slightly more power. Fact remains it's the exact same engine that can be tuned very easily.
@@davissilvestrs1996 Even Supra is limited, but does make more power than advertised. But can be simply remapped to full power, same with Z4. watch?v=60cxIFwHJNU&t
@@Brad0st you're an idiot that doesn't realize it's the same engine and drivetrain. also it's not an M and never claimed to be, it's just the M trim. you have no idea what you are talking about

Competes with a Boxster, but also with an SL (or SLK). IMO It fits the gap between the comfortable SL and the sporty Boxster perfectly.
