Z4s in the Media

winnipegz4m · 12-22-2018, 12:20 PM

I'm starting this thread to compile Z4 / Z4M (E85/6 gen) articles, videos, etc. (1) to have convenient reference to share w/ people when I'm trying to explain what I drive, (2) as a resource for those looking to buy or sell, and (3) as a place where I can get a hit of Z while my car's in storage for the winter. Please share things you've found as well, and I'll add them to this post.

Bill's page is a great resource for sure, but for media coverage in particular there's some dead links there and most of his videos are downloads that aren't super-sharable - and he's missing anything recent...
