2019 BMW Z4 | Gold Beneath the Lard

The rear suspension is kind of disappointing. This must be the "Toyota quality improvements" (cost cutting) they were talking about.

Just got back from Munich where I saw quite a few new Z4s on the road already. The car looks so underwhelming in person (to my eye at least) that I'd say an ND Miata is more of a looker than this car. Heck… the outgoing gen of Z4 looks more attractive and dynamic to me.

Plus: It really, REALLY needs a manual gearbox.

This is cool. Will there be an s version of the 4 banger? Will there be weight reduction in the M?

Fast autox times could be helped by generous oem tire width, 255 up front 275 rear, see https://tiresize.com/tires/BMW/Z4/ And as mention short wheel base, wide track also helps. I'm not into autox anymore though, curious how the car does on a circuit

So does it feel similar to the Supra ?

Great vid. Can you review Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce (280 bhp)?

BMW says it does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds? What are yall recording?

Geese, I got the NC thanks to your review. Now I really want the Z4 as my next car.

Can’t believe that UGLY dash that right there would keep me from buying this car. 🤮

shave the trunk, and done. the 4cyl turbo (30i) should be just fine and the noise can be changed easy enough. Yeah, the 6 (40i) is faster, the Supra is faster, but the 30i should be just fine at the end of the day. I just wish I could row my own gears, even in a luxury convertible, but it is what it is. So, I guess I really just need a Boxster with the manual (or ND Miata) and be done if I want to actually drive a convertible. the 30i, proof power is not the end all be all…

This guy likes to hate on bimmers and loves kias. I don't get it. This car is well engineered and well built. Bmw hater plus kia lover = bater kicker?

Nice supra

Not sure why people would think the Z4 or Supra are bad… It uses the bones of the 2 series with a decent amount cut out of the wheel base.

I have my issues with the Supra but it was always obvious it was going to be a solid performer.

Layers huh? I’m gonna call crummy bmw cars onions instead of lemons from now on.

While this is overpriced garbage (seriously, $50K base price?), the color combo you drove is amazing.

Interesting. When i did the Porsche performance driving course years ago, the most fun was surprisingly doing the autocross in a base, automatic, boxster. I take your point

The front end is butt ugly. What is BMW thinking….

That is just too much money for half a car. Nice review though. Cheers.
