Your first complaint is because more of a security feature than a nicety feature. The idea is that you need to be close by for any functionality of the vehicle, especially when it's designed in a country where BMW thefts are high. I didn't even understand your use cases regarding using the key fob for the top. I'm sure you realized by now that there is a V6 engine version....
Toyota tells us they were forced to partner up with BMW in order to make the Supra due to low volume...meanwhile Toyota creates the LC500 and the LFA. Think about it.
Toyota has been half assing things for a long time. People are tired of watching them play safe and keep raising prices for the same bullshit. Now they're giving people rebadged BMW's. If we wanted a BMW engine or any other shit they make we'd buy from them
BMW’s engine labels don’t make a lot of sense. 30 = 2.0L 4 cylinder 40 = 3.0L 6 cylinder 50 = 4.4L V8 60 = 6.6L V12 I think their thought process is that a turbocharger adds a certain amount of displacement. I don’t know. Also, in other world markets, the 20i is a less powerful 2.0 4 cylinder
Capless tank is the way to go, but most cars have a "hanger" on their fuel doors. I've been driving for 12 years (I'm 31 now. Man I'm old lol) and I've owned 1998 Malbu, 2002 Impala LS, 07 Acura TL, and now 2013 JGCSRT and they all have the "hanger" feature. It's good to see BMW making a slot for it though. Great review overall.
@@guerro327 pretty sure it's not as dramatic as you say... 40-degree drop in 10 minutes..without changing elevation? c'mon now .. i lived in the mountains of Nevada and it wasn't near as dramatic as you say..
In Europe there is a 20i with the same 2L but only 195hp. Hence the 30i that sits between this one and the 40i. But if you have a problem with the 30i badge do like me, order it badge-less. ;)
does bmw have an app you can put the top up from your phone with despite how far away you are. My chevy my link app allows me to roll up and down windows from anywhere in the world theoretically.
that...30i issue since bmw turbocharged all their engines..they bragged that 2 litre turbo could produce hp rating as close or superior than 3 litre naturally aspirated one...Remember Lexus IS300 now also have 2litre turbo previously named IS200t...
It seems to me like if you want to buy a new roadster you have three options: get a Porsche Boxster, pay a little less and get a BMW Z4, or pay 50% less and get a Mazda Miata. So, how does the Z4 compare to the Boxster? Is it a viable cheaper option? With TFL's recent Boxster experience, it seems like something you might have good insight on. I wish you had shared your thoughts. Is a Z4 worth two Miatas? This review felt a little lacking in substance There isn't even any footage of you driving the car.
Yes it is 2019 San Francisco Red Metall BMW Z4 Sdrive 30i Soft-Top Convertible 2.4L 4-Cylinder 255 Hp 295 Torque 0-60=5.0 Second Gauge Cluster Parking Lamps 10 Inch Screen Idrive System M-Sport 19 Inch M Wheels Cup Holders And More Features Compares 2020 Toyota Supra
Too bad this reviewer did not bring more knowledge of BMW heritage ie., 30i is the 4 cylinder, can’t get in comfortably because of the steering wheel, the wheel is adjustable so leave it up and away after your last trip, like to drive with your arm draped over the door, BMW designed this car for BOTH of your hands at the 9 & 3 o’clock position for safety. Perhaps an old Lincoln would suit your driving style.
Good honest review. I personally don't like the design as much as the previous generation car. It's probably much better dynamically. The lack of a manual is also hard to swallow
It's a shame BMW marketing department have so much influence with the labeling of the current BMW range, it's completely stuffed up.... everything is an M model today,,, killing the real value of a real M car. It makes them look so stupid... thank goodness engineers still build the cars and we can ignore their childish labels.
Why not call it the 20i?! Seriously?! Because there already is a 20i, a detuned version of the engine with 197 hp. Just not available in the US! The gas cap punch hole holder has been available on every single european car for the past decade. What planet do you live on?! Driving with your arm out?! Are we in the 60s or something? ......................Do you actually know anything about cars?!
Tommy, you're a nice guy - and I wish you well - but if you EVER pull a rookie move like continually gunning the motor - you're going to be looking up from the deck, seeing stars, and wondering why someone turned the engine off. Successive gunning of a motor, gunning a crank as it slows down is the surest way to twist or break a crank. Why don't you just go take an AME course on how an engine works. And, then, a really solid racing school - a week would be far better one than a dinky little poser weekend course. Then, take a MSF RiderCourse for bikes - or two. Because my first bike was the perfect example: Suzuki GS1100 EZ - first turnkey superbike with enough HP to twist or break the crank. How do I know? Two months into learning my bike & handing(wasn't me - so this not 'asking for a friend') . . . Suzuki recalls every single one to install a new, welded crank because some canyon squids had over-revved and gun-Gun-GUNNED and sacked the crank. Learn more. That never hurts you.
Toyota tells us they were forced to partner up with BMW in order to make the Supra due to low volume...meanwhile Toyota creates the LC500 and the LFA. Toyota will pay for lying to us.

Greg Mi - the part where you tell him to eat a steak or something? That is targeting the fact he is skinny. That is healthy. That statement is nothing more than spiteful. NONE of the presenters wear a suit, or dress up to represent professionalism. Do you harass Nathan about his t-shirts for a lack of professionalism. Do you tell him to eat salads? Try to falsely justify the comments any way you want, you know exactly what you meant. I have worked professionally with bullies like you and your response is typical. You never tried to justify the steak portion of your comment because you couldn’t. You tried to deflect me with a stupid response regarding his shirt. His clothes are clean, he represents what he and his friends wear elsewhere, no differently than Roman, Nathan, Andre, Mr Truck and so on. I see through your crap, I was a bully in the 70s. I learned in THE 70s what a bully is and still as a kid decided it was wrong. Now it is time for YOU to learn what you are doing is wrong. Nothing you said was proper, or cool, or impressive to anyone but another bully. Grow up . Please be safe out there.
I’m amazed a man of your age finds difficulty getting in and out. I’m in my seventies and have no trouble at all. Suggest you get in shape.

because 20i is also 2.0T with less hp... 30i has the higher output

I'm surprised BMW didn't go capless for the gas tank.
Still don't get the hate for the Supra.

@@davva360 me too
Uhh. E85 was not the last gen Z4.The last gen Z4 with the hard top was E89.
BMW’s engine labels don’t make a lot of sense.
30 = 2.0L 4 cylinder
40 = 3.0L 6 cylinder
50 = 4.4L V8
60 = 6.6L V12
I think their thought process is that a turbocharger adds a certain amount of displacement. I don’t know. Also, in other world markets, the 20i is a less powerful 2.0 4 cylinder
Don't forget that opening the capote from outside is an optional..(Comfort access system).
I do enjoy your reviews and your channel as a whole but a car review without the reviewer actually driving the car is a pointless watch for me.
Wow. This car comes with the strut braces that Toyota just made the spot for the tuning companies to put some.
Capless tank is the way to go, but most cars have a "hanger" on their fuel doors. I've been driving for 12 years (I'm 31 now.

Great review overall.
Put the key fob against your head, when you are just out of range, then try it, IT WORKS.
It’s called 3.0i because there is 2.0i in Europe with 197hp. Wish the Americans were better informed.
5:25 because the 20i has only 197 hp.
He knows nothing..
damn, you're savage.. you ride around with the top down when it's cold enough to possibly snow?
He’s in Colorado. It can be 70 degrees one minute and be snowing ten minutes later. So, yeah.

Were the key fob batteries possibly defective?

Thanks, Tommy!
Is the display key available for the Z4?

Good review dude! I see that you and the guy from Redline Reviews like solid sounding doors. 👍
Still love my 2016 Z4, the new design is Kool, but not worth the extra $$$$$

That's a _different_ way to iron your shirt.

Those cost over 100k.
ju4121 good point. And I already mentioned elsewhere, who cares? Look at the end product and don’t create unnecessary drama on how they got there.
The LC's like 100k with 450+hp....even the current mk5 might even be faster than that for half the price.
I you MUST have a BMW, get the 4 year bumper to bumper warranty and when it’s up SELL IT!
Or lease it

The Toyota looks Supra ugly compared to a Z4
SLC and TT is dead? Wow the car industry is becoming so weird
Supra>Z4
Makes the Supra look like a steal. Why would anyone opt for the two liter? And why did you not review the I6 model?
