My initial reaction was going to be "you sad muppet did you really spend time correcting my bad grama" But its very good and now I only feel that you should perhaps get out slightly more than you are doing.
Just trying to convince people that people who consider breadvans for cars aren't all inconsiderate tossers

Still think you'd be better off in the faster (although more fragile) Z3M coupe and put the extra cash towards warranty and go faster options.



WAY more fun.

Z4M - Bit slow though arn't they

I just couldn't have that badge on my drive. For me BMW havent done a car I'd be interested in since the E30 (at the time, now they are not so desireable) or the M1.

The irony is that it reminded me very much of the s2000 but with more power, better handling, improved driving position. The only thing missing was the s2ks gearbox.

Does look good, a lot nicer looking than the Z3M coupe.

My comment was in relation to a story I posted a while back about me having a play with one (Z4M) a month or two ago. Now I've added a blower to the S, it beat the Z fairly easily.

It wasn't down to driver skill, it was on a straight so only gear changes were needed. I feel it's the kinda power hike that the S needs.

I think this car looks stunning but only with csls on. It looks even smaller in the flesh with oem wheels but the csls transform it. It does remind me alot of the s2k in that there are so few about, like the s2k was back in 2000 when I had my first one. Its also slightly flawed and judging by the critics its a bit of a drivers car again like the s2k.
Had the gearbox been significantly better i think i would of been border line with it. Oh the one thing I forgot to mention in my original post was that the brakes are way too over assisted, i nearly shot through the windscreen when i touched them.
I wonder if the jerkiness can be sorted fully with the cdv?

Agreed. Those CLS wheels make the Z4M look so much better.
