Yes the EVO X can post good lap times but the Z4 M is just pure driving nirvana.

It's the closest thing BMW has ever made that can compare to a Porsche.

The steering, shifting, engine sounds, balls-out handling...love that car.
I'm confused, I thought you hated yours and sold it after a few weeks. Am I thinking of a different car?

He hated the stiff ride due to his back problems.

Z4M's have dropped in prices recently due to the weather. take a look and youll see youll find a z4m roadster for about 25k w/ 30k miles

hello there, brother chiming in

acquired a z4mc, 2007, 19k miles, aw/black extended interior, every option.

car stickered at 61k and bought for 32OTD

im not so sure about the m coupes pricing being in the mid 20's, unless it has high miles, i have seen roadsters go for mid 20's fsure.

4 years, 50k warranty, pretty standard but my car has shown itself to be pretty reliable. i have had no issues since i bought it in april. *knocks on wood*

ask yourself this, these cars are way too different to compare, if you have a brother, just tell him to buy the other car, =D like i did. haha. jokes aside, how many seats do you need? do you just love cars like the s2000 but with heated seats and bluetooth or do you like a boxy rally car that will pretty much do it all right outta the box.

they are pretty much both obtainable for the price.

imo, if you decide on the evo x, you should watch out for some factory recalls on certain issues my brother has encountered (since its a first model year), maybe he'll chime in on that as well.

driving feel wise, it goes down to preference. do you like the feeling of being super-planted to the ground or do you like your shortwheelbased itb'ed engine car's ass wiggling as you power through?

german vs japanese brand? awd vs rwd? 6 cylinder itb's or 2 cylinder turbo? 3000$ to add almost 100whp on the evox, but 3000k will only get you about 25whp from tune, exhaust, and intake on the z4mc..

those are just my opinions, i apologize for the grammar and the lack of organization throughout. im just typing the scattered thoughts i have about the two cars. let me know if i helped.

hey, i agree everything u said, but i just don't know what i REALLY want. i want z4m because i think it's a step up from s2000, little more power with some nice features such as navi, heated seats, and i won't put any money on buying aftermarket parts. But after driving my friend's 400hp evo, and 335, i want to try Evo X, and see if i like driving turbo sedan since i never owned sedan before.
