This just comes across as another one of those 'clarkson' style write ups that are deliberately provocative to get a reaction (clue is in the title). There is no right or wrong with a car choice like this, there may be (and are) better cars out there, but that doesn't not mean the car is flawed or pointless. If everyone thought that way the roads would look rather dull!

Agreed ! Buying a car is an individual decision , do we take notice of what ' experts ' say about cars when we are actually paying fo the one we've decided upon ? Buying decisions depend on lots of factors relating to the individual concerned !

Lovely!

I didn't buy the Z4M in the end, but I did go and get the Z4C I said I would instead! Happy days!



Thanks to all who offered advice.

Nice! I've not seen those wheels before. Is it a Sport?

This is mine:


Although I'll be selling it around June time

I get asked that a lot! Apparently they're available on the BMW configurator DVD as an option for the Z4, so I think someone thought "What is the most obscure option" and went for it. It is the Sport though yes.

I feel I'm required to save for a Roadster as a weekend toy.

Anyone fitted a strut brace?

Did it help? I'm tempted to get one...

Never tried it without, so wouldn't be fair for me to say, but... I felt I could tell it was there, as the front end felt awesome. It handled much better than my 3.0si, and I had driven other Ms before and wasn't as impressed.

As standard I agree with Chris Harris's comments. However, the Z4M can be transformed with an I2K suspension kit from Intrax in Holland, and a Turner Motorsport rear suspension bush limiting kit. Believe it or not but mine also rides better on the genuine 19" CSL wheels I fitted together with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. There is also a nasty clutch delay valve that should be removed and will improve town driving as well as full bore starts. I have AC Schnitzer exhaust but wished I had bought something a little louder! My next mod will be some stiffer anti-roll bars. But the car is already really really great. It still needs care, especially over bumps in the wet, but it looks brilliant and there is nothing close for the money. A TVR Tuscan made by the Germans!

Sorry, I should have said, I do have a strut brace which I am told helps reduce the initial understeer, but not that I noticed. Does look nice when you lift the bonnet though!
