  • The BMW Z4 looks amazing, and the cabin oozes class. It's great to drive, with strong engines, capable handling and a supple ride. There isn't much space in the boot when you've got the roof down, and an Audi TT is more fun to drive.

    I know exactly how you feel - I feel the same about my old Renault Megane coupe (also my first car)...I don't care that it isn't the greatest car on the road; it's mine, and I bought it with money I earned.

    so which roadster would you choose for this kind of money? the price is relatively high, but the performance (excluding the more expensive boxster) and the quality are top in its class (no reliability issues on current BMW's and the interior is awesome)

    Pick up a 2008 3.0si for a song (around $26K) and you'll have a Z4 with generous trunk space and faster than all but the current top of the line.

    On 35is the 7 speed DCT transmission is standart and on 35i it is optional. On the rest of the Z4 line up, the 6 speed is standart and 8 speed transmission is optional. Correct me if I'm wrong.

    I would much rather drive the Z4 than the SL550 mainly because of the better technology in this vehicle, and its base price is less than half of that than the base SL550.

    No, but Whatcar is a British company, I assure you that, so forgive me for assuming that this British company would have a predominantly British audience (p.s. It does). I may have distilled it down for the ignorance of the previous commenter but yeah, it's not JUST the badge. I'm not your enemy here.

  • @ultravas
    @ultravas 12 лет назад +2

    In that case, then everyone driving a Ferrari 458 Italia should stop with their lunacy and all purchase Nissan GT-Rs right? Wrong. Because no one care's if it's a second faster to 60mph or can achieve over 200mph, you'll probably never push it past 120 anyway. It's the badge.

      @Commendatore Had my 2009 23i, 8 years, now 90k miles. No engine or transmission problems. Known faults, tail lights let in water, easy fix. Roof solenoids best changed at 5-6 years. A couple of lose connectors. Manufacturing fault in wiring can cause boot latch problem. Go to the z forums to fix.

    in europe the nissan costs €41 and the z4 €49 which is not that huge of a difference especially if you also consider that the bmw will hold its value better. and the nissan's interior is very cheap looking plus personally i really dont like the looks of the 370z.
