mathew Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 here it is! [ATTACH]113148[/ATTACH] As you can see its a Z4. Its the 3.0l model with all the usual extras. I needed something quicker than my NA, more economical, soft top and newer and it was a toss up between the z4, s2000 or a boxter. The performance on it is more than enough for me and the handling is spot on. I thought the supra handled well but getting back into the supra for a drive a few weeks back was a real eye opener, it felt like a barge with a much to high driving position. On a motorway run taking it easy the trip computer was showing 39.2mpg, not bad for a 3litre 'sports' car. Ive taken out the foam bits that are found in the 'sound generator' (which was only fitted to the 3litre and above iirc) and its now sounding much more throaty above 4k revs. I was dubious about the purchase of a Z4 but so far i am more than pleased with it especially with the weather we've had lately:cool: p.s: the numberplate isnt a pathetic attempt at resembling 'ZED' (which many seem to think it tries) its the name that everyone that knows me calls me by after the pot noodle character ned noodle (i had a slight adiction to pot noodles when i was a kid) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kill1308 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Cracking car the Z4, really fun to drive... S2000's are also a good hoot. Hope you enjoy it, looks like a nice example... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attero Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I do really like the Z4, but are they as eye-catching as the Supra in public (a genuine question and not my opinion being expressed)? I personally think the Z4 is a gorgeous car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I don't think they are more eye-catching no, but they are good fun and they do have a rather nice stance on the road I think, the ZM4 more so though. I think they are generally more appreciated by women more than the men though to be honest as it unfortunately falls into the hairdresser roadster category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think the Z4 is a gorgeous car. i think the supra has much more road presence but theres no denying the z4 looks the part, more so from certain angles and especially with the top down.

mathew Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Looks nice............... I woulda went with a s2k though i was very very tempted but the looks of the z4 won me over in the end. the z4 was also cheaper on insurance and got better mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Yeah I agree the Z4 does look a lot better than a standard S2000, you can make them both look very nice, but in standard guise the Z4 has it I think. I do think they look a lot better if you change the wheels too. I'm not a fan of the standard BMW range of wheels that they put on them, there are definitely much more complimentary wheels on the market that suit the shape of the car more.
