Default "Is that the new Z4" - my @rse is it

While parking up at my local supermarket a gentleman approached me and ask "Is that a new Z4"



I politely put him right, I wanted to say do I look like a hairdresser

Have you seen the Z4 TV advert?

It goes......

"The fastest soft top is coming.........."

Then proceeds to show the car with its roof retracting - very comical.....but is it true?

Does it really beat our 6/7 seconds?

I understood your post its the advert that's confusing.........fastest soft top (retractable roof) or fastest softop (sportscar). Not that it matters though, as BMW owners buy for the badge rather than performance, and its a 3.0 litre so it must be faster than a 2.0 litre S2000, right

The roof does look faster than the S2000's though, or maybe the film is speeded up

what a tit

bigfecker you should have said yes. He would have gone around telling all his mates "look there's the new Z4" when he spots one.
