Why don't you go trade in your S2000 for a Z4 then? We'd miss your witty remarks though.

Nimesh,

I have to agree with you that BMW has done some marvelous engineering to get their cars to have a suspension geometry that allows low ride heights, great stability and handling without compromising ride quality as much as other manufacturers.

However, to say "never" is a bit extreme and perhaps naive.

It's not always about horsepower (ironically said by me, the man with a modified Z06...)
