How did I forget about the under $30k Miata!? I don’t know. But I goofed up so don’t listen to that part about the MINi being the least expensive. My bad.
Thank you Steve for always bringing awesome car reviews to us old fashioned gear heads. You're a true hidden gem in this small corner of the RUclips reality. Cheers! M
This and the prior gen are really beautiful cars. As much as I criticize BMW for it's long term costs, these are really nice machines. Great review as always.
Great video, as always! Jealous of you in this car in the Adirondacs, but isn't that the effect it's supposed to have!? Happy Steve week, indeed! 🙌 🌞 👍👍
@stevehammes: Umm, Steve, don't you think that having the previous generation i-Drive should be considered a positive, rather than a negative? More physical buttons, less screen reliant, easier to use while driving? Why would anybody who likes driving care that its' not the latest and greatest?
Is the folding roof a subscription only feature? 😂 But honestly, the last pretty BMW. I wish they made a true M, since this is rumored to be cancelled.
Dude what's up with people wanting the ugly over bloated hideous slow bad handling 4 series becsuse "oh em gee it has two small useless back seats"? Even the 8 series convertible back seats are small. Plus they look ugly and too posery. The z4 looks clean and has true classic sports car looks and cabin space is HUGE for two people

Happens to the best of us.

Kudos to you Steve. You're the only car reviewer on RUclips that correctly says "HEAD-UP DISPLAY" instead of " HEAD'S UP DISPLAY" like so many others.
uh-oh, grammar nazi is back...

My wife has a Z4 with the 4 banger. Wanted to see if she likes it. We now ordered a Z4 M 40i.She loves that thing.
So freakin' expensive, damn. As an aside, when I was in college I bought a used Triumph Spitfire and it was a total blast to drive! Cost: $300

I have the m40i. Gets nonstop compliments and is the most rare and beautiful bmw in the lineup.
great video, that z4 looks fab
Thanks 👍
I do really love these cars and very jealous you took it to the Adirondacks!
It now comes in a manual!! My preference.
What about the Miata (in terms of least expensive convertibles)?
You know, I actually forgot about the Miata. Shame on me. I give myself an F.
Haha it happens! Keep up the great work, love your videos! Still waiting for your review of the Jaguar ipace - the most underrated and forgotten EV!
82k after taxes is crazy !! I’ll get a first year c8 convertible for that price now that they have come down!!
Yep that’s what I did and only $76K plus GM card bonus money of $1643. The HTC is the best.
awesome man

Ha!! Probably so. It was definitely a fun week.

It seems a lot of folks agree with you that this edition of i-drive with more physical buttons is preferable to the one after it. 👌🌞👍👍

My dream convertible would be the Morgan 3 Wheeler. Not longer in production I think. Too bad. That would such a fun drive.
What does this, the G-Wagon and Jaguar iPace have in common?
Just woke up and you’ve got me thinking. Soon to all be electric? All built in Austria?
@@stevehammes All built in Austria, by Magna :D
the E89 is nicer in design still, very weird.... the E89 design was done before.... 2009. this one looks like a fiat spider cabrio...
Soft top is not good for safety.🙃
It was much more 'beautiful' when u Started at $50K. At $75K, I wanted a base 4 series with a sunroof😅

@@davidt8087Appreciation for 2-seat sports cars with classic lines is a trait for true enthusiasts.

what is a driver's car that doesn't even offer manual transmission? lol
Geez, where to start? Lambos, Porsches, and on and on. It ain’t 1995 anymore.
That seat colour does nothing for me..
a convertible supra
Sounds like a add for BMW. All fluff.
Because I liked it? If you've ever watched any of my videos over the past 25 years you'd know I don't pull any punches.
