Z4M vs Boxster S on Top Gear

M_Six · 04-09-2009, 08:46 PM

Probably a repeat, but the first time I've seen it. The ///M came out looking pretty good.

3002 tii · 04-09-2009, 08:48 PM

definitely a repeat but one of my favs.

jragan · 04-09-2009, 11:34 PM

The movie where Jeremy ties the Viper with a M Roadie is still my favorite.

this video inspired me to purchase my M roadster. I am a hardcore top gear fan

Z4MHawk · 04-10-2009, 08:01 AM

Concur. This episode helped me narrow the field when it came to a rag top. Does anyone remember where the //M placed on the big board? I think someone mentioned it in a previous thread. 48th?

The classic look of the //M and high end power did it for me...but I would love to own both.

The black Stig rules!

I have the episode at home, along with most of the other seasons curtosy of Kuracius (sp?) or however you spell his name, haha!

This one was definitely one of my favorites!

The time of the M Roadster is 1.24.xx. For ref the Porsche Cayman did 1.26.xx

I'd like to see the Z4 M Coupe with decent tyres give it ago, the Coupe in Z forum has never been on

lol well these things i listed are just simple things that come standard on other bmws. Especially tires, one of the main reason for E90 m3 achieving a really good time is due to the standard equiped PS2 tires.

karmasabish · 04-11-2009, 10:35 PM

yea i'd have to agree. the conti's are pretty much crap if you end up actually pushing them.
