A British review of the Z4

More of the "cruiser" type reaction to the test drive......


"As you go up through the modes, throttle response and gearshift speed increase, which makes things feel nicely urgent. Push hard in normal mode and the Z4 lacks body control; the back end feels loose — and not in a good way. Sport is better, but this is still not a car that you’ll push hard for the fun of it. With sport+, you get a more punishing ride but without much added fun. And you begin to feel the extra 100kg the new Z4 is carrying on a twisting road. Not exactly the “ultimate driving machine” promised by BMW’s advertising, then.

The bottom line is, if you really like driving, buy a Porsche Boxster. It’s a proper sports car and it’s cheaper than the £37,060 Z4 sDrive35i. "
