  • An all-new BMZ Z4 Roadster has hit the streets. But it seems like the only time you hear about it is when people refer to it as sharing its basic chassis with the reborn Toyota Supra. Well, we’ve been Z4 fans since it first arrived for 2004. And, despite a dwell in production, we think this 20-20 Z4 deserved its own time in the sun.

    I just love how cars are reviewed here. You get relevant info on the car. Other reviewers go over every nook and cranny of the cars they review. Criticize every design features of a car and review car as if we are all buying cars to race. Sure we like performance but most of them other reviewers are just plain overkill. Here it is to the point and honest. Been watching for many years!!

    Have been a Motorweek fan for decades. Nice review of this 2 seater BMW. I don’t understand why the 1/4 mile benchmark has been replaced by 0-60. 20 years ago 1/4 mile times were the go to spec for speed and power. 0-60 doesn’t tell you as much.

      You probably will never speed up to 100mph in city or anywhere so 1/4mile is not important.more important is maybe acceleration from40 to 80 for overtakeing.

I saw a vid with the M Z4 and the noise was bad enough for me to turn down a drive in one when the salesman offered. He was bummed...
