I met you 12 years ago as my 10th grade history teacher, and here I am today eagerly waiting for my z4 m40i to reach the dealer and looking up z4 reviews because of it. Still teaching me history lessons 12 years later. You’re still the best Mr Raiti
Hey Joey! I totally remember you bud! Congrats on your Z4 you are going to love it!
Have seen it last saturday in showroom here in Warsaw. Its gem, details and finish gives this feeling you are looking at little gem, not a car. Its so well made and designed. Price here was 65 k€. Damn a lot of money. I would never buy it but its beautiful.
Thanks for your reviews!! Keep up the good work.
pretty sad this Z4 looks so much better than the Toyota, IMO
Nice!! Great review as always!! 👍✌️🚗🚗🚗
That looks pretty COOL!!
Excellent video Joe! I bought a new 2000 BMW 328i sedan in November 1999 and kept it for 16 years and it had 108,000 miles when I finally had enough of the high repair costs and traded it in even though it still looked brand new. It was a very smooth and great driving car with enough rear seat room to put a car seat in and and also over the years haul everything from a dehumidifier to a 300 lb. olympic set of weights to a bale of straw in the trunk with the rear seats folded down. That BMW was a fantastic car but if you buy one I strongly suggest to not keep it too long after the warranty runs out unless you don't mind spending a small fortune for repairs.
Worked for a Beverly Hills Talent Agency from 1989-2009 taking their company vehicles to the dealers & mechanic shops as well as fueling them. Having the opportunity to Drive top end German imports was a blast to say the least. The company would sign a 3 yr lease so they had no maintenance cost except for tires (BMW's only).The Beemers were their favorite & it's easy to understand why once you got into one & drove it! Ever-since that job I've had a very special appreciation for German automotive engineering that in my mind is unchallenged!
Sounds like you had a fantastic job! I agree with you 100% and I was always given a BMW loaner car to drive while mine was at the dealership being repaired and they were all fun cars to drive but I liked my 328i the best. I don't regret buying the car but I do regret my decision to keep it as long as I did.
I drove this the other day. Love it!!!
I don't care what others say, this car is beautiful, fast and a dream to drive, and the m40 sounds amazing!
I totally agree with you!
Bought the exact car with all the toys and just love it. Great for UK roads. It’s so much fun.
This just makes me want to see the new supra. Will be an awesome review for sure
The bombay doors on the center console is so intuitive! Dont zonk it! U didnt realize that u can actually close one door and have it as your arm rest and have the other door open for your drinks!!
I've been listening to you for a little bit of time now definitely got my vote I love your enthusiasm amazing amazing job in a crowded Market you differentiate Yourself by genuine enthusiasm knowledge passion being real
This is so very awesome of you to say! Thank you!
BMW knock it out the park with this 😍
Very nice. Can't lie the auto Trans seems to take away from any drama the might have. Definitely would like it with a good old fashioned shifter
I love it when you say Let's check out the business side ..
Thanks I really appreciate that!
I am considering a used one of these. Will be a cross country road trip car for me. Wondering if it is comfortable enough for the long trips. Seems so. Love the fact they went back to cloth for simplicity and trunk space. I had two first Gen Z4’s and loved those.
This car looks very good and amazing. It looks like it's a good performer.
Nice job Joe. Looking forward to the M!
Trust me so am I! Thanks for always being here!
As always Joe nice review l bet the inline 6 will sound better. The LCD’s are sweet.
Thank you Matt for letting me share this one with you!
For bumpy roads, do you think is more comfortable with standard suspensions or with M adaptive suspensions set in comfort?
It looks to me like its more BMW, than a Toyota. I bought a used Z4 many years ago. The wife got two speeding tickets in the first week we owned it. Needless to say, she really loved that car. It had a 3.0 Inline 6, if my memory still works. This bad boy is a beauty, I'm really digging it! Maybe by 2021 or 2022 I will be able to buy a used one. too pricey for me, for a new one. Or maybe I'll pick up a used Z06 instead! great job, Joe, keep em' comin', thanks.
🚙🙏🏻🚘Great review Joe!! That’s a great looking car for sure!! I hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend!! God bless ya my friend!!🚘🙏🏻🚙
Your hands look really good on that wheel Joe
Thanks I appreciate that!
I'm curious if the Toyota version will be marked up cause it has a supra badge. Also when that z4m becomes available you gotta your hands on it. Keep up the good work
Beautiful car! Hope you also get to review an M2 Competition.
Joe when is the new Supra going to be for sale You make a lot of killer videos Keep going
Thumbs up Raiti..
Cool car great production!
Let’s gooo! JR to a million subs!
If a standard with the inline 6 come out then I'm getting one
BMW doing great things. All of their new cars are beautiful looking.
Love it
Ok Great Cinematography, Editing, I would have liked it, if the editor had lightened up some of the cutaway, shots, where you were showing the front grill; aside from that, great editing. Audio, I get it that you're in a showroom, ( echo ); great script and knowledge of product All the best Shaun of NYC ( Ok last Comment Lol )
Thanks Shaun for that great feedback! I really appreciate it!
Best looking Z since the Z8, cool color and specs.
I have the very first Z4 registered in the East Coast, 1530 wonderful miles on it. Drive it in sport Plus...
That is really great! I am glad you are enjoying here!
Stupid question but since this car just came out the 19 will BMW negotiate or is there no wiggle room on pricing?
From what I heard there will be no additional M version of the Z4. I saw the car in person in Blue and in White and both care looked super nice. Nice to see the car has some actual physical buttons along with the screens. Audi has gone too far in removing buttons in the A8 and other models. Z4 could have better integration of screens though - Mercedes new models with MBUX have beautiful wide screens that look nicely integrated.
t will be intersting to see how it turns out!
The front looks like they tried to mix the 8 series front with a Mercedes C class front.
I can see it John! Thanks for watching!
Interior looks really good for a BMW
Nice presentation dude.
I really appreciate you saying that!
Great thorough review, hopefully there will be an M version
Fingers crossed! I would think there will be.
Car looks great, the convertible supra, hehe, but honestly to much money for what you get. This is more luxury than performance IMO. Great video Joe
You hit the nail on the head!
You have to push a button to get to toggle between modes? Can you just pull back on the gear selector to toggle between modes? Finding a button while trying to drive aggressively is a pain in the ass
A real Z4M would be fantastic with like 450 HP with S58
Excellent review, new subscriber...:-)
Thank you so much for saying that! I really appreciate you joining the Raiti's Rides Family!
I can't wait to go get box of mayonnaise from the Costco with my Z4 😁
No, it's a big tube of mayo!
Idiot. Mayonnaise wouldn't be sold in a cardboard box. 🤨🤨
@@ivanlowjones don't know bro I never buy mayonnaise in a box! 😉
@@serkanister3620
Re-read your first post 😒😒
Hey! I know this video is a few years old. I’m looking at the 2025 manual z4 40i.
Do you think this car could be a daily driver in the Seattle area (a bit of snow in winter)
Thank you
Love your history lessons (I’m German ). Good job
Dont know why this video has so many dislikes. I think they did a great job on the z4. The red really pops on this. This looks like a mini version of the 8 series just like the 370z looks like a mini gt-r.
No propeller, very right. Nice vid :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
Wow, with the hands!!
Sorry James I'm Italian that is how I speak!
a fancy supra you got there
Can wait for someone to swap body parts and have the 1st convertible supra!
That will be interesting to see!
What??! I thought u couldn't put a double exhaust on a 4 cylinder(according to videos on youtube)...why couldn't they put a double exhaust on my 2011 focus?
1:43 the Z3 wasn't first. The Z1 in 1989 was first featuring the doors that slid down into the body.
Great review! That thing looks incredibly roomie on the inside, which is great! That being said, what's up with Z4's hips getting smaller and smaller? The Z3 M still looks more sporty than this car because of its back end and those deep dish wheels.
Thanks for the compliment and I appreciate you letting me share this with you!
*Scotty Kilmering intensifies*
where did you bought the camera? focus response bother me
I love how America has the Zee 4 and Britain has the Zed 4, same cars, just in different sides of the pond lol. It looks nice, you can see similarities to the new Supra. Not for me though, both, even if i did have the wonga.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Nice video. Thanks! Alas, this Z4 looks like a TOY-ota not a Bimmer. I’ll take the styling on my retractable hardtop 2009 Z4 any day over this one. Unfortunately rag tops are not particularly functional here in Vermont, but if they were, I’d give anything to get the 2007 Z4 I traded on the 2009 back-real hydraulic steering can’t be beat. BMW is spending way too much effort courting the luxury market and not enough effort meeting the needs of enthusiasts. ☹️
Thanks for letting me share this Z4 with you Marian!
soooo nobody is gonna question the fact that the germans and Japanese are working together on something?
😂😂😂
Nice Supra. Love the review. I always like the history lesson before all the reviews that joe does.
Thanks that really means a lot!
So much better looking than that hedious "Supra"
Keep up the great reviews 👍
Headlights look like Mercs...I prefer the round headlights.
Best version of the z series BMW
Agreed! I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Are they gonna offer manual transmission?
It looks great, but is very expensive and they should have kept the manual transmission as option. I rather get a Miata or a 124 Abarth or why not a 370Z with the manual that sounds amazing.
You talk alot with your hands. You might as well learn sign language.
Kinda looks like that Maserati Gibli with conv.top.😳
I'm not seeing it. You have to see one in person.
Your logo would fit on a shift knob.
the car looks great but sadly doesn't come with manual. If you're like me then that's a deal breaker. At the same time I'm not a big fan of turbos. I know it's very popular today but not everything popular is necessarily the best solution
The terrible part John is you can get it in manual just not in the USA!
@@RaitisRides oh wow, I didn't know that
We always get the short end of the stick.
Their best looking Z car.
AGREED!
I believe the BMW 3 series was named car of the year for like twenty yrs in a row wasn't it?
Pretty much, but not as of late.
If you’re ready, I’m ready lol
I am ready!
I might go this over a Supra!
LMAO!
Toyota had ZERO to do with designing the Zed 4 (can't believe that was said). So that's not true. However, BMW had everything to do with designing the Supra
Honestly I thought it was a new Kia Coupe for a second there
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
$60 k and only a 4 cylinder motor...…..
Idk. With 60K I'd go after RS3 CLA45 even M3, definitely not a convertible Z4 like a rich college girl's toy.
It's nearly 300 lb ft of torque and you get Toyota reliability because they worked on this car together...
I'd rather have the Porsche Cayman for that kinda coin
This whole collaboration thing does not amuse me at all.... it makes BMW feel a bit less ..... BMW....
anyway, good review, starting to get hooked on your vids Mr Raiti :) and I must say that you really keep them coming, this is my 2nd new vid today :)
mikealanzo Totally agree. Cheapens the brand to me.
Not too obnoxious is good to describe this new design.
Very true!
Who else came to the comments right when they clicked on the video to see if someone brings up the new Supra?
That reminds me I need a big bucket of mayonnaise LMAO
Thinking about purchasing a 2023 Z4. Will you do another review ?
Will get that together for you!
@@RaitisRides I got a good deal on a Z4 M40i ,Picking it up tomorrow.Your reviews are the best .Very detailed ..
Nice looking car, 380hp in that car should be a lot of fun!! With the straight 6
I thin it's only 280hp?
I mean when that comes out with straight 6
It is going to be exciting! Stay tuned!
This one has the inline-4
I knew what you meant my friend! Thanks for always watching and commenting!
Oh cool!! The Toyota Supra Convertible! Thanks Joe! ;o)
The Supra is a rebadged BMW, not the other way around compared to this...
@@ToreHansen Ah, I see. (I see jokes go over your head)
@@timephire Not really, but love to follow up the jokes with a more dry one... What many have missed is that Toyota are more involved that just design and putting it over a BMW drivetrain. They have tested parts and spent a couple of years to get this is good as possible. This might be the best BMW in the range in 2019 also on quality.
@@ToreHansen Nice! ;o)
@@ToreHansen Agreed!
We don’t need a history of bmw. Just the review of z4.
Nobody:
Toyota: Is this a Supra?
I see what you did there!
rear air vents aren't too obnoxious * sticks whole hand in it * lol
You crack me up! Thanks for watching!
Fake vents... Yup, Toyota definitely had their hands on this...
No little prop rod for that huge hood 👏🏻. Nice car but I’m not a fan of drop tops. Good review!👍🏻👍🏻
Cloth tops get slashed by the jealous public..in this economy...I've replaced Two on an MG and Triumph ..Years ago...I liked the hard top convert ...makes more sense today
BMW stands for Broke My Wallet lol
Yes man
Thanks Desmod!
Beautiful toy!
You are so very right!
This is much better than the Supra for me design wise.🏎🏎🏎
the “stinger”
2018z4 netflix n chill with mustang
I see what you did there!
What a nice supra
I see what you did there!
some day, some day!! :)
You can do it!
BMW stands for Broke My Wallet!
