    The Z4 is back, and it is back for good. In my previous video about the 2012 E89 BMW Z4 sDrive 35is, I demonstrated its specialty as an icon of roadsters. It wasn't a perfect sports car, however, it is still one of the most beautiful cars BMW ever made. Its driving experience was fun, but not refined, and this imperfection is what made it a unique roadster.
    After being discontinued for a few years, the Z4 finally came back with an overhaul. Yes, this is a controversial car. It is controversial for its look and the drive as many enthusiasts believed that it is losing the BMW visceral sensation, and it is also controversial because... it is a small convertible sports car, in a world being taken over by SUVs and pickup trucks!
    However, as I said, the Z4 is back for good, and I mean it. In today's video, I am going to review the 2019 BMW Z4 sDrive 30i, a model which I believe is going to be most people's Z4 (not everyone would go for the m40i). Is it still special? Is it a good successor to the E89 Z4? Watch till the end to find out!

    Stunningly good review, good job.
    And a great car, too!
    PS it’s incredible how little views you got for such a high quality review.

    This popped up in my feed. I decided to click on it. Glad I did. A very good and honest review. I have a 2010 Saturn Sky Redline roadster. Factory ordered and the last Tan on White to come off the factory floor. I ordered it with the TUK1 (Turbo Upgrade Kit) upgrade and I have enjoyed it for years but, it's getting old. So, the wife and I have been looking for a replacement.
    After some research and debate, we decided that the new Z4 with the M Package and Executive Package is the way to go. We have read several reviews that the suspension can be a bit harsh with the 19" wheels and have decided that we will go with the 18" M wheels which help to soften the ride over RR Tracks and potholes but do not significantly detract from the handing unless you track the car, which we will never do.

    Excellent video Sir! The video and sound quality are superb, along with to your sleek filming and editing.
    I also own this non-M Sport version. To me our cars have a classic, elegant look without the added on bumps and protrusions.
    I opted for the Convenience Package, along with heated seats and steering wheel, with remote start. Only difference is that my Z4 has black Vernasca leather (can you please post a link to your floor mats - they look amazing?)
    It’s nice to see such a smooth production without obnoxious music and gimmicks. You’ve got another Thumbs Up and a new subscriber. Job well done!

    Another super video - thanks.... How many tickets have you had for those in town speed shots 🤣
    I would love if you could fine some decent scenic, rolling roads with great corners to test out the cars - your videos merit this...
    For me I like the looks even if it is much more different... I don't like the shiny piano gloss trim and the speedometer/rev counter is really not great...
    My main big, big problem - says 3.0i.but it's a 2.0 litre 4 cylinder... That is so sad, so disappointing......

      On the other note, I have some videos filmed on the Angeles Crest Hwy, where I believe is one of the heavenly places for anyone to test out any car, or to simply drive.
      I like the new Z4’s rear. Yea it is a 2.0 inline-4, but I can see it being sufficient for many, after all, the m40i isn’t suitable for everyone. Granted, the inline-4 is quite good

    The best idea when presenting a body design is to not constantly fiddle around in front of it as an author, so that a holistic impression of the design is prevented as much as possible for the viewer.

      Not even close to a cheap spyder! No one does roadsters like BMW! Jaguar is trying hard but inside is crap. The new corvettes are the way to go for a V8.

    Save yourself a lot of money for 50% depreciation and buy a used F-Type V6S or even R with proper V8 instead of this glorified Fiat 124 Spider with 4 cylinders which sounds like a Mini Cooper.

      Terrible advice to recommend a car plagued with problems. Buy yourself a 2003 Z4 with low mileage, 3.0 straight six engine and enjoy an easy to afford, trouble free sports car.

      The only difference is the dual exhaust on the M40i.

    • @UncleFranke

      This one does not have the M Sport package. I actually like the rear bumper more in this configuration - it has a cleaner, classic flow.
      I just bought a one-owner, low mileage 2019 in this standard version, choosing it over the M Sport (has the Convenience Package, heated seats and steer wheel, remote start, and black Vernasca leather.
      The front end and rear look clean and elegant - not all broken up with bumps and protrusions.
