he nearly stuffed it into the back of the car 10 lengths in front, had the back end squirming and luckily the car in front had the room and sense to move over as the gap became available, it could have been very bad, why do people drive at speed up to cars and just assume they will or can move
still a beautiful car and fast
Was there no mutual M bro-love? No wee nod of the head or flash of the lights?

I generally always get a wee nod or flash from other Z4 Coupe drivers when I'm out and about in mine, similar to the S when I had that.

No they are not.

Fast is relative, and they are relatively slow.

You'd have to be a moron and have three bollox to believe they can outcorner and out run a sports car
No one mentioned a RRS outrunning a sports car..

Fast is relative, compared to a run of the mill diesel car they are fast. The TDV8 has plenty of mid range, I think most people would be suprised, they can be hustled along an A road with a lot of pace..

And Brembo brakes so they stop prety well, not sure ocean liners/HGVs are fitted with these..?

As for the M6 looks, everyone has differing opinions.. I personally like it.. And I owned an S and liked how that looks. I would say the Z4 (previous shape) is possibly one of worst looking BMs though

Do you realise what forum you are on?

If you are talking about fast cars then compare them to the cars that most of us own/aspire to own on here.

Go on Safira.loser.org and boast about a RRS on there
