Having seen this on the drive for about 3 months now and having driven it for 2 days I can confirm that for a motorway cruiser, it's excellent.

In comparison to the S for twisities and fun :thumbdown:

As I was a Clio driver at the time I must have really confused other motorists when they saw a BMW indicate

Having driven a 3.0 manual my final thoughts on the handling/suspension is that it didn't feel as lithe or as nimble as the S. It may well be as good (ie as quick) but it certainly doesn't feel it. The front end wants to wash out, and the throttle doesn't bring the rear end around quite as sweetly.

Which sums up to agreeing with everyone above. It's a good motorway cruiser, but I'd take the S any day.

1) This isn't about height mate... just how close are you sitting to the steering wheel ? Do you have unfeasibly short arms and legs or just one of those bizarre leaning-forward-nose-pressed-to-the-glass driving styles more commonly associated with old ladies?

2) Given that the S has no meaningful storage space, I can only assume that - in order to have even less - the Z4 has moulded plastic protrusions needlessly taking up cabin space - effectively making 'negative' storgage

Just teasing - nice review

1) Ahem nope!! I'm about 5ft 8 with long legs! I just couldn't see over the bonnet unless I put the seat up - not forward. It's not that I'm close to the steering wheel, it's just that I'm high up in the car

2) The S has lots more storage than the Z4 - it has one little storage compartment, that's it. That contains the DVD for the sat nav, and 2 shelves - each just big enough to skin your knuckles on. And an open cubby hole behind the seat. If there's any more I couldn't find it



and yes I know

Right that's it...........compulsory for fit birds to drive in Z4's with the roof down
