Wow, perfect review. In the last 6 Month I saw a lot of reviews about the new Z4 G29 but this is the best with a lot of details and very good impressions of driving this wonderful vehicle 😊 I will order it in 6 days and I'm looking forward to driving it by myself. Thanks for your really professional job.
Hands down, not open discussion or debate. This is the best looking BMW Z roadster ever. It's beautiful.. To really clarify my feelings about the car, I don't and never have liked the BMW Z car. Not even close but this thing I would buy in a heartbeat. Good job BMW!!!!
It really looks good what are people talking about it.. it really is good looking maybe not for the rear but it's that corvette look in the front and performance is brilliant!! No need for an M unless you want a machine to kill you.
D Taylor Ohh common what do you mean it doesn't look special its very unique looks nothing like any BMW in the lineups and people always complained BMW solved it. I wish BMW listened to the people who buy them not the people who don't buy BMWs.. the reason why BMWs don't show character from the BMWs from before is do to "customers" that don't buy them complaining to the brand.
The Truth do I think it’s ugly? No. It’s not an ugly car. But it’s not special looking “to me”. And it doesn’t look like a bmw, either. I think the Audi TT and the Boxter look better
The Truth I love the color. I’m talking about the “design”. And I don’t think I’m in the minority. I’m sure I will drive well, and it’s undoubtably great fit and finish. But as for as exterior wow factor? Doesn’t “wow” doesn’t even look like a BMW
Like your car reviews with a quick history of models and appreciate the details without fast editing or shaky cam, gives the viewers a long look at some fantastic vehicles!
Beautiful! It's like Mahler"s symphony. Every small piece is not friendly and looks, well, sounds odd. but it's so exceptionally beautiful when you put everything together.
I miss driving the Autobahn and roads in Germany. I often drove from Munich to Amsterdam, in a Nissan 240Z. I now live in Costa Rica and Florida, I am considering buying the 2020 BMW Z4 M40i for Florida driving! Thanks for your excellent review!
Great breakdown of the vehicle, and I especially loved the comparisons against the previous iterations of the Z line. first rate and also quite fun to watch your road test.
Finally........... A "kidney" grill that actually looks good. BMW are slowly returning to good design. This car looks & sounds great. As always, another fantastically detailed review. This team consistently crank out quality videos. Rob from Australia.
Thomas all bmws looks good on you. You absolutely deserve anyone bmw. 3 series 5 series 7 series old chassis new chassis it doesnt matter. You make me happy with your Bmw reviews :) :)
The prior e89 Z4 not only looks a lot better, but is 10X more practical with the retractable hard top. The new one is like a step BACK to the e85 rag top.
@@Rooster1Cogburn that's Because you either owned the e89 🤮 or always wanted one. Ive driven both and own the new m40i and hands down it looks much better than the e89, constant compliments, came out in 2019 with a better looking interior than the 2019 7 series (only the z4 and 8 series had the highest end interior), was developed with Toyota for the supra meaning amazing performance and engine designed for tuning and high hp, and it beat the m2 competition in nurburgring with only the 330hp model (so did the supra and it got an even better time). I'm making 450whp with just a cheap tune only no bolt ons. So stick with ur outdated boring e89 please. In 2015 I got the m235i because the e89 wasn't even on my radar and neither was it on anyone else's. I never even saw an e89 for four years from 2015-2019 while in LA. No one had it nor cared. It turned out I made the right choice. M235i number 1 car for 3 years out of the top 10 at car and driver magazine. E89 was outdated and had the outdated n54. Not to mention people like you probably want to tune the twin turbo n54 ans go in a straight line because that's all your brain can handle. On a track you'd get destroyed mostly because I'm sure you suck at actually going fast when there's a corner that's why you want the n54 instead to tune it to go straight only, but also because the e89 had HORRIBLE performance in the corners compared to even the m135i much less the 235. I've driven the f series m235i, g series m240i, f82 m4, and the g series m4, the z4 is almost on par with the g series m4 in performance and staying flat and putting the power to the wheels especially in corners (8 second quarter mile in supras already exist and 330hp supra destroys m2 competition in nurburgring with 80 less horsepower and similar weight). So Yea just go back to ur e89 no one cares.
I agree. The taillights are all real and not half quarter fender and half on the trunk. Lights on the trunk in the US are cosmetic and though functional, are only functional when the full set of lights are active
'ice cream parlour function!' - classy Thomas presentation and commentary. 39:19 agree, HUD on any car is a bonus (even most of the basic ones with a plastic sheet); and also good for Adaptive Cruise Control use, including pre-setting the speed and distance. Many thanks for a great Review Thomas and Holger.
Love the overall review and the car, but can autogefuhl add more exterior shots of the car while it's driving? In a 40 minute review, there's only a small amount of those.
Nice looking car.The front is ok , but I think the rear looks better.Good interior ,pretty good performance from the engine. A bit expensive if you spec it out , so I think I'd rather get the Porsche 718 Boxster at the same price.Still good evolution of the Z-Series . Terrific review Thomas !
The 718 Boxster only has a downsized 4 cylinder engine and the S version costs nearly 70K. There aren't many cars around with an engine like the M40i's for under 70K
I've only owned Japanese cars (currently a 2018 Accord). I feel like this is the first BMW I'd want to have - exterior looks extremely sharp, and interior quality looks impeccable. The interior of my new Accord looks super cheap up close.
What a time we live in that we have to check to see whether the exhaust is fake or not. This is a beautiful car and looks like a lot of fun to drive. Thank you for sharing.
Great video, makes me want to get another roadster. The hand mic audio almost gave me ASMR, which is good. BTW, the pops and crackles from the exhaust are not from that valve, it is un-burnt fuel from a lean condition (off throttle) which burns the excess fuel in the hot exhaust. That muffler valve just opens in Sport mode, etc. Love your country!
Love Thomas's nonchalant cool style, calming and clear info. Great work. This Z4 looks good but maybe one too many lines on the hood and the side. Sounds great which is a plus although the Boxster and the F Type are winners in the looks department.
Much better than before. I used to own a Boxster S and would have never changed it for a Z4 - but now this looks like a great car. Well now I want change my 911 ;)
Thomas, now you pointed it out I see Hofmeister kink every where in interior: digital dashboard, speakers, air vents, radio. It's like a version of Where's Waldo?
Hello Thomas, wie immer ein sehr gutes bericht , it is a shame that we have expensive taxes in Portugal and is so dificult to afford so beautiful cars gemacht in Deutschland .Grussen aus Lissabon
I love the channel. Be careful with the camera on the side. I broke the window mechanism once when I put the top on, because the window lowers 2-3 inches during the process and the camera succion cup is too strong and it prevented the window to go down!
Thomas should also do a review of his ward drobe, he is looking slick, shame we can't get those kind of digs in "Murica" :D btw. always an outstanding review when Thomas is doing it...
Thanks for the great review. I love your reviews coz you alway take the time to share and not rushed like other channels. I'm a E85 M roadster owner and happy that BMW chose to continue this model line. Though at the same time, I'm a bit disappointed with the design. The Z3, 1st gen Z4 and Z8 were unique avantgarde designs. I see the current Mercedes C series and I think Bangle's flame surfacing and it took them 10 years. But now, the Z4 is too mainstream. Its a good design but it could have been something else.
Never really been a fan of BMW cars, generally gone Porsche and Mercedes,had several of their motorbikes but have to say this car looks a beauty really love the look of it, if it drives anywhere as near as it looks wow its going to sell well.
I think its a step in the right direction, love the engine, interior, handling and the body style Would like to see it in the copper color or black with five spoke two piece wheels. But overall its a nice piece of work for bmw. I own a black 2007 3,0 is roadster..

Sir Thomas, you have by far the classiest car reviews in RUclips. Always keeping us up to date with the coolest cars.
cheers, feel free to share and recommend =)
Love your accent Thomas. Perfect English with a strong German accent. Very soothing and intellectual.
ASMR Thomas LOL
Hahahahah!!
Couldn't agree more 👍. Tq
=)
and handsome
I love how this review lasts 42 minutes and remains interesting every second.
Really love to hear that. Feel free to like and share to support us!
I really appreciate this kind of automotive journalism. In the age of over dramatic narration and over the top editing this is very nice.
👌
Finally a great sounding 6-cylinder BMW again.
kraenk12 great muscle sound! Bmw did a great job!!
Great soundig? what sound? 340hp -> pffffffffff blub
Same engine is also used in the 1 series, the M140i and has been around for a little while already
Engine sounds great, but s55 performs better
@Drive Music it's an inline 6 3 liter right?
I swear watching Thomas do reviews is like ASMR bro. Awesome reviews man.
enjoy =)
I feel exactly like in other asmr videos. His voice (+ the german accent) is very relaxing.
Same. I thought that first time I saw one of his videos.
Wow, perfect review. In the last 6 Month I saw a lot of reviews about the new Z4 G29 but this is the best with a lot of details and very good impressions of driving this wonderful vehicle 😊 I will order it in 6 days and I'm looking forward to driving it by myself.

josh blumenstetter same
I saw 5 Z4 videos up at the same time I had to pick this channel first obviously ❤️
Easily the best review of the Z4 so far.

It really looks good what are people talking about it.. it really is good looking maybe not for the rear but it's that corvette look in the front and performance is brilliant!! No need for an M unless you want a machine to kill you.
it looks good, but it doesn't look "special"... not like the previous generations
D Taylor
Ohh common what do you mean it doesn't look special its very unique looks nothing like any BMW in the lineups and people always complained BMW solved it. I wish BMW listened to the people who buy them not the people who don't buy BMWs.. the reason why BMWs don't show character from the BMWs from before is do to "customers" that don't buy them complaining to the brand.

D Taylor
Maybe the color doesn't excite you but everyone can agree it's unique and different compared to the BMW lineup.
The Truth I love the color. I’m talking about the “design”. And I don’t think I’m in the minority. I’m sure I will drive well, and it’s undoubtably great fit and finish. But as for as exterior wow factor? Doesn’t “wow” doesn’t even look like a BMW
Great video
cheers m8 !
19:15 I thought your phone was a toast or a slice of bread hahahaha
Absolutely amazing car and review. This is why I'm subbed here.
=)
@@autogefuehl what case is that? I want it
Search for Cork case for iPhone, it's real cork, there are also some with plastic fake cork, but the real one feels very nice
All the Z's with naturally aspirated engines also come with manual transmissions in this video - pure joy!
wonderful review..just wonderfu:) autogefuhl reviews have now become an art form

I really wasn't expecting all that much, but BMW really nailed this car. I especially like the exterior design, much better than before
Thomas, with the best reviews, the most variety and the best scenic backdrops that could be from a travel show! Love you AutoG!
thx so much!
I always like how Thomas wears apparels that matches with the car he is describing and it makes us feel like the car itself is made for him.
great some1 notices - thank you :)
Another great, comprehensive, and funny review. Appreciate the choice of road for this type of car.
Thomas always has the most useful, real-life reviews. Very helpful for making a purchasing decision. 👍🏻
thanks Gary =)
This car is absolutely stunning, needs a manual and an increased redline and then you have a full on drivers car!
Beautiful car...and first class presentation and overview from Thomas- thank you!
BMW sports convertibles are the motivators/passion for life!
I never liked the z4 until now, but now... now it's out of this world, superb
Always enjoying your review Thomas
I really hope they make a Z4M.
Coupé like the Supra? Best competitive road test next year will be Supra vs. Z4 M40i.
As usual very classy review. No one does it better.
Testing Z4 already?! Of course, it's Autogefuhl. 👏👏👏
Love your work, guys! 😉
This might actually be your best review vid yet. Well for me ofcourse. It's somewhat a lil different than the usual
Thanks 🙏 feel free to share :)
Just make a Z4 M with the front of the concept. Looked so much better. Won't happen though ;(
They should be able to get closer to it. It was actually more simple than what they did here.
Great work Thoman for once again!! Keep up the good work 🙂
Great review as usual
Great review Thomas, nobody does it as well as you. I’m really impressed with your attention to details.
Thanks so much David, great to have u here!
This review is so good it made me buy a z4 and I’m very satisfied
I‘m going to my Beamer dealer tomorrow and place my order! 😅
Beautiful! It's like Mahler"s symphony. Every small piece is not friendly and looks, well, sounds odd. but it's so exceptionally beautiful when you put everything together.
Ein wirklich gutes Review, gerne mehr davon.
I miss driving the Autobahn and roads in Germany. I often drove from Munich to Amsterdam, in a Nissan 240Z. I now live in Costa Rica and Florida, I am considering buying the 2020 BMW Z4 M40i for Florida driving! Thanks for your excellent review!
thanks and best greetings!
Thanks for the review, so jealous of the driving emotions displayed. Love the aggressive design.
👌
I love watching reviews of cars I'll never be rich enough to own
if you buy the right spec these cars don't have to be very expensive. A Z3 M was €35k new. A 20y old one with
Why the hell have I only just found this channel? Classy
I have a 2007 Z4 M roadster and absolutely love it. It is a true driving car. I do understand the newest model being better with respect to comfort.
Great breakdown of the vehicle, and I especially loved the comparisons against the previous iterations of the Z line. first rate and also quite fun to watch your road test.
thanks feel free to recommend us!
Love how you showed the evolution of the Z class. Awesome in your details as always!
appreciated !

That dark grey color is unbelievable awesome. Looks very good on this Z4
That is the best looking soft top convertible I’ve seen so far. Well done.
Great review Thomas. Other publications 'Autocar' should learn from you!
cheers, feel free to share and recommend =)
YES Z8 is one of the best looking in the cars history ! Timeless Design !
This car gonna be the one of the best BMW cars. BMW really nailed it and give us good car after a long time.
Almost as good as the x1
The prior e89 Z4 not only looks a lot better, but is 10X more practical with the retractable hard top. The new one is like a step BACK to the e85 rag top.

Not a huge fan of the new front. The new rear is very nice, however.
so you're more of a booty than a breast man
im probably going to jail The concept’s front was much better.
I agree. The taillights are all real and not half quarter fender and half on the trunk. Lights on the trunk in the US are cosmetic and though functional, are only functional when the full set of lights are active
I know, otherwise the proportions and especially the rear look so great. I wonder why they just didn't go for a more classical look...
Agree; the front looks copied from the Kia Stinger, the rear is more Mercedes-like.
When will we see a video of the 6mt z4 m40i video? I’m seriously considering to get one, can’t wait to see more information about that car
soft top is the only way to go on a traditional Roadster. Great job BMW!
Best reviews i've seen in a long time, epic work sir.
thanks so much, feel free to recommend!
I suggest test drive on a track or wide open road.
This is a fantastic review. It helped me decide to buy the car!!
Enjoy steve!

Great review very detailed content Thanks

I’m picking up my 2019 z4 m40i next week can you reckons how to keep roof clean and water repellant ?
I've only owned Japanese cars (currently a 2018 Accord). I feel like this is the first BMW I'd want to have - exterior looks extremely sharp, and interior quality looks impeccable. The interior of my new Accord looks super cheap up close.
Great video like usual! keep it coming!
Its gorgeous and handles very well i like it
Great review as usal thomas
Autogefuhl is great show with Thomas car knowleges and interest to watch next generation innocreative automotive achievements :)
thanks, feel free to recommend =)
How tall is Thomas?
PS. Really like how comprehensive are your reviews, keep up the great work.
thanks m8! Stated in every interior part in every video =)
Good review Thomas and what a cracking car
Front styling doesn't look like bmw in my opinion
Yes but brand styling has to evolve
Enrico Bianchin we share the same opinion
True! To me it looks like Fiat 124 Spider
@Elephant In The Room Supposedly the single round unit headlight harks back to the BMW 507.
nor does the rear to me..
What a time we live in that we have to check to see whether the exhaust is fake or not.
This is a beautiful car and looks like a lot of fun to drive. Thank you for sharing.
Wow wow wow, such a beautiful car. Love the videos guys.
Nice review not much room between dash and windscreen height wise. I came to see this review for the Toyota Supra 2019 interior and engine components.
Great video, makes me want to get another roadster. The hand mic audio almost gave me ASMR, which is good. BTW, the pops and crackles from the exhaust are not from that valve, it is un-burnt fuel from a lean condition (off throttle) which burns the excess fuel in the hot exhaust. That muffler valve just opens in Sport mode, etc. Love your country!
yes indeed u re right :)
Love Thomas's nonchalant cool style, calming and clear info. Great work. This Z4 looks good but maybe one too many lines on the hood and the side. Sounds great which is a plus although the Boxster and the F Type are winners in the looks department.
Much better than before. I used to own a Boxster S and would have never changed it for a Z4 - but now this looks like a great car.
Well now I want change my 911 ;)
not sure man,
Pretty smart that it prevents too much launch controls as it damages the engine
Thomas, now you pointed it out I see Hofmeister kink every where in interior: digital dashboard, speakers, air vents, radio. It's like a version of Where's Waldo?
=)
Hello Thomas, wie immer ein sehr gutes bericht , it is a shame that we have expensive taxes in Portugal and is so dificult to afford so beautiful cars gemacht in Deutschland .Grussen aus Lissabon
Obrigado!
I love the channel. Be careful with the camera on the side. I broke the window mechanism once when I put the top on, because the window lowers 2-3 inches during the process and the camera succion cup is too strong and it prevented the window to go down!
Thanks 🙏 yes with convertibles u gotta be careful
Reminds me of a MB SL roadster with the way the headlights are angled and the vent and the line on the door.
Z8 maybe 1998-2000. It was james bond car.
Anyways I didn't Google.
James Bond was also my lead.
Z3 was a James Bond car (Golden Eye). Z8 was an Eddie Murphy car (I Spy)
@Bas bzb I guess I should watch the rest of the Bonds before replying. Thanks!

Lovely review as usual Thomas. I realy like the soft soothing reviews you give. I will stick with my E89 35is though lol. For now at least.
You always have the best reviews!

I really enjoy your car reviews, extremely well thought out and very detailed!

That's nice.. I like the model, looks good. And they even managed to make the first BMW that doesn't look like a BMW anymore..
Wunderbar! Vielen Dank für die Details und sieht aus, als hätte BMW einen großartigen modernen Roadster!
Besten Dank!
Cracking car. What a noise. Great review from Thomas, as ever.
cheers man !
Thomas should also do a review of his ward drobe, he is looking slick, shame we can't get those kind of digs in "Murica" :D btw. always an outstanding review when Thomas is doing it...
highly appreciated :)
The shoe company should also ship to the US
Thanks for the great review. I love your reviews coz you alway take the time to share and not rushed like other channels.

Never really been a fan of BMW cars, generally gone Porsche and Mercedes,had several of their motorbikes but have to say this car looks a beauty really love the look of it, if it drives anywhere as near as it looks wow its going to sell well.
I would certainly pick this over Boxster
You deserve more subscribers.

I think the z3 was the only true bmw roadster out there , btw nice review
cheers!

I had a second hand Z4 Bangle, really impressive. I love it.
Another astoning video

I think its a step in the right direction, love the engine, interior, handling and the body style Would like to see it in the copper color or black with five spoke two piece wheels. But overall its a nice piece of work for bmw. I own a black 2007 3,0 is roadster..
