Default Z4

On my way home from work I ran across a 2.5l Z4. A girl (maybe 19?) was driving with her boyfriend in the passenger seat. I overheard a conversation about "that's just a Honda, you could take him" etc. Wouldn't have paid much attention to it except it was especially condescending like only a Euro car owner can get. So I decided I'd hold back at the light and let them catch up. They got a "running" start and I droped at 15 into 1st. By 2nd they had fallen 2 cars back and I backed off, just to receive a ricer flyby.

I know this is like beating a one legged man in a foot race, but I had to give them a good look at our beautiful exhaust tips

Disclaimer: No offense to you cool Euro owners, my Dad actually has a 3.0L Z4 and doesn't act like this, but for those who do...get off the high horse or you might get knocked off by a Honda

I'm pretty sure the correct phrase is: "Like beating a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest."

Z4's are for posers.

All they got going for them is looks.

Where are you getting this from ? The M Z4 is slated to have 343 hp (+10 hp on the M3) and be about 300-400 lbs. lighter than the M3, that will be sub 13 sec. 1/4 mile car.
