Henry is easily one of the best automotive journalists today and, lucky for us, paired with an absolutely fantastic production crew. Keep it up guys, you're killing it!
What kind of sorcery is this? Kudos to whoever did that triple layered shot at 4:55. And of course it's always a pleasure riding shotgun with Mr Catchpole, regardless of what he drives.

Charlie and Henry make an amazing combo. The quality of these films just keeps getting better and better. The presentation and cinematography is just wow. Please never stop making these
I have purchased the z4 40i because of this amazing video journey with Henry and his crew ! I must say after all of the views that I've seen on the Z4, this video is most certainly in a class by it's self! Henry and his crew are outstanding! The video was classy,informative, the countryside and aerial views were beautiful (As well as the car)! I have watched this scenic video over and over and it is award worthy hands down! Thanks Henry for such an amazing video! Keep making more! OH , AND BY THE WAY THE Z4 THAT I BOUGHT IS MOST ENJOYABLE AND EVERYTHING YOU SAID IT WAS ! GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS AGAIN !
Watching this when it came out was the clincher and I went out and bought a M40i and have not regretted it since. This is simply the best and most honest review of the car I have seen. Plus it’s like watching a professional film. Perfect.
between the cinematography, the music, and the genuine love for the automobile, this really is the greatest channel for car enthusiasts. great job, as usual 🙌🏼
Henry must be commended on his uniquely poetic style of explanations, drawing attention to aspects one would rarely consider. As a lucky owner of an m240i, I have nothing but heaps of praise of this engine and transmission platform. I cannot imagine the joy of combining it with this chassis and suspension setup, together with the reduced weight and the feeling of air in your hair. Torn between this and the new m440i as my next step up the BMW ladder
Every single person who gave this a thumbs down needs to go somewhere quiet and think about their life. Best car videos on RUclips, just a joy to watch.
Stunning road. Z4 will appeal to a buyer who only ever wants a 7 tenths car. Even a mature Boxster owner disappointed with the sound of 718 cars might enjoy changing to the softer, more usable Beemer.
@@CroneRaven1810 Think I would too. I don't think I would personally cross shop them, but that's also because Porsche has built a proper sports car first whereas Mercedes and BMW are more GT/Sports car. Different strokes for different folks and all that!
@Joel Schembri Sorta agree. Think if I could only have one car it would be the Porsche. But if I had a small fleet, with more focused cars, the Z4 would be a nice car. Certainly the perfect holiday home smoker!
The sheer production quality alone of all Carfection videos in general blows my mind ,🤯🤩, and the fact that it's available in up to 4K resolution is like a cherry on top. A true visual and audio treat for the eyes and ears.
What the hell have you people done to make all of your videos so amazing lately? Whatever it is, don’t change a thing. This is spectacular on every level. The production, the location, the music and beautiful Sir. Henry Catchpoleposition. Bravo.
For anyone interested, the location of the amazing shot at 11:56 is 37°13'6.32"N; 2°24'59.69"W. The start of the road is Velefique to the south and it ends at Bacares to the north.
At 10:05 that’s definitely perhaps just you, I own a 2022 BMW Z4 M40i in Misano Blue with every option included and I get complaints every single time I take that car out of my garage. Whether it’s for a quick run to the supermarket, gas station, or even my job. All my co workers and everyone who see’s my car absolutely loves my car.
What I expect from a car review. Subtleness of the reviewer (preferably English), Scenic routes with a scenic view, and good background music. This review is as the channel is Carfection!
how do you guys keep doing it. It feels like every video you put out just gets a little bit better than the last but every now and then you just push the bar even further into the stratosphere with content like this
i don't know what the problem is. It looks better than any Z before it by miles. They finally manned up that car. It looks awesome. One of the best looking BMW's since a long time. Even though it's pretty fast and drives very well, it looks like much more. Love it.
The beauty of this car is it takes very little to transform it being its part of the b58 family. Gearbox map will transform the gearing. Coilovers Suspension will fix the roll Bm3, Intake,sports cat and rear box will bring the engine and drive alive! So much potential to be a supercar killer. Already has the rear lsd and tu high pressure pump. Not hard to get another 120hp out of this car. Surprised theres not more of them about tbh.
This is the Second road I'd take that Porsche Speedster from last week, can't believe you were just in the next province over, maybe I'll catch you next time haha Greetings from Algeciras, if you ever need an interpreter arround here and the rest of Andalucía, here I am 🙋🏼♂️
hey there. As a swiss guy, so not too far away, it's one of my todo goals in life to go Andalucia with a nice sportscar and drive it there. How is it there with speed limits and radar traps and all that? I heard from many people that the tarmac is great, the roads are not busy but it'd feel better to know how "regulated" the experience is there from a "legal" standpoint
@@hazardeur well officially motorways are 120kmph and b roads 90 ( which I imagine you will more interested in) Of course that's officially Speed traps are moderately frequent but there are signs on the road to indicate they are present in about 1-2 km other than that most roads are indeed really good in comparison to more northern and traffic dense country's for sure but you will encounter bits that are in worse shape of course I'm probably forgetting something but I'm most familiar with the Cadiz Málaga área there are a few provinces I haven't even been in so I can't really comment on places like Cordoba and Almería
@@LucasW.B sounds great. especially the 90. We only have the 80 limit on B roads + 20 on top so when they catch you with 100 or less, you can still keep the license. WIsh we had 90 as a base too. One day in the future, I'll be cruising through that beautiful landscape of yours. Can't wait.
It’s an acquired taste that seems to be very positive. I own this M40i version and it’s forever getting head-turns and the throttle sound is fantastic. Best car I’ve owned and judging by the sales figures, the UK buys much more than the Americans. We Brits have always loved two-seater sport cars.
I was lucky enough to go there most days for lunch when I worked over there. The roads are just crazy and with hardly any traffic most of the time it's paradise.
Great review and video, as always. The content you guys are putting is top quality. About the car; I'd buy the Z4 M40i over anything else in its segment in today's market. That straight 6 engine is something to be celebrated and it would be enough reason for me to choose the BMW.
I caught a glimpse of the new Z4 the other day and thought to myself 'man, the MX-5 has really gotten big'. At least the magnificent scenery and usual pristine footage made up for the bland looking new Z4. Just imagine driving the E85/86 Z4 M on that road, now that is a match made in heaven.
Quicker than an M2 competition, really ? Anyway, thanks for this video, you are an amazing media guys ! Can you present your team one day ? Those who work behind the scene
@@redinho1994 Those times are so relative...what where the type of tyres, how was the weather, who was the driver in car 1 and car 2, how busy was the industry pool, what type of brake pads, etc...
Quicker than the M2, not the M2Competition. And lot of portions has been rebuilt on the nurburgring between the M2 chronos and the ones of the Z4. It may helps.
Paused the video in between.. and taking time firstly to thank Carfection for such wonderful content which we can watch for free.. with YT's stupid policies towards content makers.. I understand how hard it can be to manage the funds required to put up such great vids one after the other. Thanks and keep up the great work 😇✌️
Love videos like this. Good car, amazing scenery. Henry and Charlie make quite a team. Henry’s fine prose, delivery and driving equally matched by Charlie’s stunning cinematography, choice of music and editing. In a word; brilliant. 👍
Henry.. I have checked down thro the Carfection playlist and can't seem to find any BMW M240i test. You don't seem to like the fussy Z4 styling, well me too. So I wondered whether you had in fact tested a M240i, but as a convertible.. to my mind a very elegant car. And quick enough. Do give it some thought, if you will.. it would make a nice film. Regards WF
Proof you don't need a second car to do rolling shots to do test videos when you can plan in advance getting to a great scenery you thought it could work with the car. Amazing! Came to carfection a year and a half for the cars, stayed for the creative process of the videos ✨👌
I love carfection and Henry is usually on with this reviews but I feel he wanted to say more about this car and yet filled the video with that special road.
What a video! I'm gonna say it right now, this is THE best video of the new Z4. The cinematography was amazing, the music was perfect and of course Henry being chill as always. Carfection living up to its name👌. P.S. I actually like the Z4's looks. It's decent enough and certainly not ugly. Better than the previous Z4 imo.
Amazed when I first watched this video three years ago, and am still amazed today. Beautiful cinematography and more than just a car review. Hope one day I can make videos like this 👏
No ads, no pay to view yet producing stellar films. I’m afraid to ask but... How do you guys do it?!
They're under CNET
Unlike MotorTrend 😏
I got ads.
They do have ads. I watched an ad to make sure they get their revenue.
I guess I get lucky often, I rarely ever get ads. In any case, I'm just happy that they won't go the way of Motortrend...
Carfection nailing cinematography as usual! The music was on point
Goosebump inducing music!
The last music is called Audio Network - Feel the sunshine.
@@longtailgt Thank you so much for the name of the song.
I was just about to say the same thing. The production value of this is as good as Top Gear! Amazing views with fantastic music!
Music indeed was Perfect!!!! 👏🏻😬
The final cinematography shot was very James Bond like, great job!
I think it was the music giving most of the cues there. I got the vibe as well.
What’s the name of the music at the end though? I love it man
Beat me to it. I was going to say it would be great location for a bond movie chase sequence.
Yeah and the music sounded like a Bond movie too! What a coincidence!
@@christopherchow553 Noted above: Audio Network - Feel the sunshine.
What an absolutely amazing video! Music on point, footage was immense, Henry as always with the best reviews! Keep it up guys
Ben Thompson to each his own I guess. I couldn’t make it past the first 1/4. I’m car shopping, not travel shopping. I want to see and hear about the car, not travel destinations.

Z4 will probably hold there value better and open top experience is definitely something unique if it's a second car it's better to get it
This vehicle looks good, sounds good, and seems like it would be great to drive. Especially in the setting that you have it in.
Just when you think you've seen the best from Carfection, they level up almost instantaneously.
Brilliant video

Z4 will appeal to a buyer who only ever wants a 7 tenths car. Even a mature Boxster owner disappointed with the sound of 718 cars might enjoy changing to the softer, more usable Beemer.
Softer? That b58 is a f'in beast of an engine.
@@phantom2k10 I more meant the car as a whole as being "softer". Engine is certainly weapons grade
I dunno man. If I had to choose, I'd still go with a manual Boxster, even with the 4 cylinder.

My, my, that closing shot was divine.
Thank you for an honest review unlike other reviewers who make every car look like it's superb.

@1:31 Why do they say fuel economy in MPG and fuel tank capacity in LITRE?
Not too fussed about the car but superb production, articulately written and beautifully filmed. Well done Henry.
What are you talking about Henry? That is a good looking car dude! Finally, a BMW that i really want..
People will hate on this car for years to come, but I think it is the perfect convertible. Very cool car
An exquisite film as always! And I say film, not video. This has surpassed the quality we've come to expect on RUclips.

That song at 3:30 is from the Majorca Boxster GTS review...years later, that GTS still rules
Agreed. That remains Henry's best video and a great car.
Very Bond the music.. I've loved reading Henry's work and now watching..

Wow, this video is underrated. Very underrated
"It stands out like a dollop of ice cream on some apple crumble." --Henry Catchpole
Manual?
Intake plenum, full titanium exhaust, upgraded discs and brake hoses, kw coilover kit and a stage 2 tune. Perfect daily.
That last bit of camera work at the hairpin was amazing
We all love you Henry and also Love the Carfection😘 If this is possible So please make a video on 2019 Alpine A110 Vs New Toyota Supra.
Carfection = Perfection
Everything is packed well
Pick up the Z4 m40i next Saturday eager to try it round our Scottish roads
Subtle flex, Graham.
i got nothing new to add that the others have not said already ... please keep making awesome videos like this! my prayers and blessings for thee
I new it was going to be a good video when I saw carfection posted it
Honestly this is classic top gear levels of production. Praise cant get any higher than that
How long has Sir Bradley Wiggins been presenting for Carfection?
If it gets 33.2mpg and has a 52ltr tank, why are we using both imperial and metric?
That ending was cinematically brilliant
The production value is absolutely staggering! :))))
the cinematography was mindblowing!
they plan to bring back the hard top?
Rapha, Mr. Catchpole? Did the Z4 bring you there, or interest in cycling roads and passes.😀
What is this place in Spain called? It's definitely on my bucket list now.
Beautiful film Henry as always !! Been a big fan ever since Evo. Also a very nice and thorough review of the Z4
Henry you're jacket is so great choice. Can I know where did you get it from and the brand name ?
The quality of the videos you produced... just wow...
WOW what a view 😀 did you get your bike with You?
