not really a modern z4 coupe, but liking the m240i
my search for a next car has ended with the m240i, picked it up on the 10th.
this is the only pic that this site will accept for some reason. My GF took it on her phone, it won't accept the pics taken on my phone. Coming from the 981S, this car is a welcome change. The engine is an absolute peach, so buttery smooth and eager. reminds me of the n52 in many ways, but even torquier. Turbo lag is still there (more so than I remember on the test drive), but I seem to be getting used to it such that it's no longer an issue. Car is incredibly fast, and I've only gone half throttle so far so try to give a gentlish break in. Faster than the cayman for sure. Sounds decent as well with the MPE. the zf8 is very responsive, I drive in manual mode almost all the time, and so far not missing the manual...which was a big worry for me. The ride is very comfortable, much more so than my x73 equipped 981 cayman. really like the compact dimensions. the xdrive is awesome, the ice storm last night was easy peasy... For sure it doesn't handle like the cayman, but I am not a track guy so that is not a huge loss for me. Overall very happy with the change |

But props to the OP for coming back and updating this!
When I first clicked on it and saw that the OP started this thread in late 2017, I kind of quickly scanned forward. I did notice that several people who gave their $0.02 don't appear to own a Z4 any longer.

I think the A90 Toyota Supra is kind of spiritual successor to the E86. I KNOW this is controversial, but please hear me out in the strictest sense of NOT trying to ruffle feathers or start the usual "it's a toyota/it's a bmw" conversation, we all know it's got bmw parts and a toyota badge, but there's other threads for people who care to duke it out. I'm just pointing out, with the shared lineage, lineup positioning, and specs that there are some strong similarities.
For example, the power is the same, and the styling is as controversial now as our all Z4s were on release, similar hatchback/fastback design, strong rear, long front. The engine is not a 8K monster but does sound modern good, and yeah it's a turbo but in this day and age getting a high-revving NA car isn't a straightforward proposition even over at Porsche. I'm sure NA purists could pull the turbo and tune up the engine; by all accounts, it's got an awful lot of headroom for that kind of play with just the stock components. And, of course, the transmission is better than the SMG by generations but obviously no manual. A $12K conversion does exist for these cars and videos exist out there for it, but for that sum you could buy an E85 roadster with reasonable mileage. And yes, odd fake vents. The less said the better. Okay, I've said my bit, please don't hang me out to dry? The first time was an adventure, but I'll pass on a repeat performance! |
