[Flame Suite ON]

Just seen a guy down the road in his new Z4 and I was very impressed, both in terms of road presence and sound.

Quality Motor

[Flame Suite OFF]

Why the flame suit? Quality, very well designed and engineered motor. Saw one on the roads just the other day. HUGE road presence.

Yep even I like it, me being a bit anti BMW, good cars but a little er, you know......

I did like the Z3 M coupe, now a Z4 M coupe, niiice.

Am I right in saying they dont make a limp 1.9 version of the Z4 ?

Looks fantastic in black but i think those that bought them with an expectation of making a quick buck have lost out coz Top Marques is full of them selling at list or below. Some one's trying to sell theirs for £37,999!!! Nice cars but not that nice.

Those Z3M Roadsters look good value at around £18k for a '99 V plate. They must make an M3 look silly with the power to weight ratio, anyone owned/got one and what's the performance stats?

Z3m a little quicker than the M3. not sure about weights of both but it has 20hp (same engine, different exhaust or something) less than the M3 so it be closer than you think.
