Great review, it is obvious that you genuinely enjoyed the driving dynamics of the car!

Good show mate! I agree with most remarks except for the ride. The roads in Toronto , Canada are pretty much on par with Syria and Beirut such are the potholes, bus damage and frost heaves! Even on new michelin pilots it is a stiff riding beast. I still love her tho...

Yes, good job.

Ditto here.

Our roads in Nova Scotia are amongst the worst around.

In particular the front suspension has no where near enough travel for our roads bottoming out too easily on even minor/moderate heaves, joints or holes. Can be a little scary at times.

Otherwise a very fun car to drive.

I was surprised at how good the car was. The press gave them bad reviews when they were launched and I was expecting to be a bit disappointed - I bonded with the car immediately.

I guess the roads in Southern California are nowhere near as bad as the weather-battered roads up in Canada. I didn't find it worse than any other sporty BMW Ive driven.

Looks like an awesome time! Hard to beat empty California mountain roads and a proper car.

Well done high quality video, that is also very informative. Thank you for making it available!

Questions:
1. What exhaust do you have? Sounds awesome
2. What headlights did you install? Look cool.
3. Any other mods for your beautiful car?

Regards

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your commentary while video shots of you carving the Z4MC on Cali twists. I can’t agree with you more. Great M car!!

I've just switched from Bridgestone run flats to Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Far better ride and much quieter, but still a very hard riding car.

But that's what makes this car what it is - a hard core high performance driver's car! There's plenty of other softer less connected, less Thrilling rides out there...

Thank you very much. I try to make these videos the best I can. I wish I could tell you more about the car, but I'm not the owner. I know it had a x-pipe exhaust but I don't know which one. The only other mods are the headlights and the wheels.
