z4m.. whats it like?

White Z4M Coupe with CSL's is the best BMW ever made IMO.

Amazing to drive, only negative IMO is the overly sensitive throttle pedal and the dash.

i agree with the dash, but it works since it was meant to be a sports roadster

as for the trottle...i love a responsive throttle

mrgoochio · 05-20-2009, 01:18 PM

Isn't overly responsive usually a good thing?

pollila · 05-20-2009, 01:35 PM

its only sensitive when the sport mode button is on.... to me anyway.

I have a 2006 M roadster, selling actually if anyones interested, only $26,950

Despite lauding Active Steering as "supreme" and "unparalleled", BMW does not fit it to any of its high performance models, namely the M3, M5, M6 and Z4 M Roadster."

i honestly think that SMGII would ruin that car. i'm glad it's stick only.

03BeastCharmer · 05-20-2009, 03:28 PM

And I can say neither of my BMW's were designed for anything other than a 6 speed manual

The Z4M is just a pure driving experience. It's slower in a stright line than my M5, but it's soo much more fun to drive except on a commute or long road trip.

Old one better than the new one? Wasn't there only one generation of the Z4 coupe, bracketed on one end by the Z3 coupe, and on the other now by a hard-top convertible only? Did I miss something?

i think hes referring to the new z4

Garduna · 05-20-2009, 07:36 PM

Love the design of the MZ4. I'd gladly take that over the new Z4. Never drove it yet.... I want to!

E82tt6 · 05-21-2009, 12:15 AM

I love it. Came very, very, very close to getting it over the 135i. The Boss said I couldn't go without a back seat.

More fun to drive than any other car BMW has made in a LONG time. Much better than E46 or E90 M3s.

EDIT: Driving it made me think "If BMW made an S2000, it'd be a bit like this." Still very comfortable and livable, but much more raw than what's come to be expected of a modern BMW, even an ///M. Only BMW that I could ever see being compared to a Boxster S/Cayman S in the fun department.

...it's like having sex with a supermodel TWICE in one night.
