2011 BMW Z4 sDrive35is - Drive Time Review

[colla555]

Is this Karmesinrot Uni (non metallic red)? It looks a bit dark to me.

Or is it Melbourne metallic?

[Theologist]

Regardless of all the "M" touches...it's still a sad piece of machinery. Supercharged 3.5L engine that gets 0-60 in 4.7 seconds? The 3.2L '06 Z4M engine pulled 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds. And it was naturally aspirated. And from watching the video, the suspension on this Z4 is far too soft. They may have given the car an M appearance...but it's far from it, in terms of performance. May as well buy an STI.

This car is better and more beautiful than the Audi TT roadster...but the old Audi TT is more beautiful than both! :)

MUST WAIT AN HOUR BETWEEN LAUNCHES....WAAAAAAACK

[JAAPJXBIT]

Im looking into purchasing this car i cant wait! :D

[highlyporsche]

I love porsches and I drive a porsche as well. My first car was the 1st gen. z4 and I loved it but I gotta say, this new z4 especially the 35is is very attractive to me and I'm thinking of purchasing one soon in black. =)

[kangaroopandaful]

awesome looking car.

[jocsandoval]

I respect a lot the Mercedes-Benz, I don't like anything that Audi does, but I respect it and the R8 as well. God, I loves the BMW car brand.

[andreaeveryday]

wow this is just amazing.

my face is like :O as I watch this..

[MacbookProWizard]

This is such an incredible car.

[hubbytweaked]

1 stop at the M devision witha quick remap the Z4 puts out a 410 BHP.. Soooo after a 1k cost its still cheaper then the cockster S.. + when your driving a boxster.. you know someday a 911 will pull up next to yours..

[ljackso]

The Porsche Boxster S will blow the doors off the Z4. Still it is a nice ride.

[marcelskaterkid94]

dream car for real

[AutoShiftQc]

you have one of the best job. testing every single car on the market must be amaizing

[graykin22]

@h4h4h4 I haven't seen 1 single female drive this so far in my town.

[SammerJammer]

Only z4 that will go 0-60 in under 5?? Check your facts, predominantly the last z4 with a true M engine

[stevehammes]

@SammerJammer Check your facts; there is no longer a Z4 M.

[SammerJammer]

@stevehammes really? you didnt say new, u said any z4 in general

[NAGULNR2]

@stevehammes is this bmw FULLY automatic gear change?i wanna buy a convertable for long drives (im talking about hunters of miles)and i dont want to change the gears.The audi TTS convertable is in the same price range so would u recommand it over this BMW?And does the audi TTS have fully automatic gear change aswell?

So to summ everything up:Does this bmw have fully automatic gear change?

Does the audi TTS have fully automatic gear change?

Would u recommand the Audi over this BMW?

Thanks.

[SammerJammer]

@stevehammes I'm talking about the E85/E86 chassis not the new ones

[JIHRA24]

@SammerJammer you are fucking stupid, he is talking about the new gen

[SammerJammer]

@JIHRA24 Yeah i get what he said i just wanted to make it clear the older model can easily match that if not better it, but thanks for clearing something up i already understood

[QuickD34th]

Awesome review ? The car handles awful loosing its rear at once in sudden maneuvers while its steering is not as informative as it should especially at this price range. I have read a dozen reviews and i tested the car myself. I love beemers, but at this price range boxter s is a far superior car. This review is totally useless and i just notice it has 202 views. no wonder.

[stevehammes]

@QuickD34th Hey, glad you found my review helpful! The Boxster S is a fine machine...comparably equipped it costs thousands more. I also parked this Z4 next to one at my local ice cream stand one night and guess which car stole the show? Right; the Z4! Hey, if all you're looking to do is to take one of these cars to the autocross course every weekend than go buy a Boxster S. However, this Z4 produces a more satisfying OVERALL experience.

[lithium332]

@QuickD34th isn't the boxster s out of this price range? even the standard boxster costs more than the sdrive35is.

[snowysnowcones]

Looks good. Sounds good too.

[KSGixxer76]

Beautiful car, awesome review.

[MrBazpoker]

Brilliant car and great review! Is this a car you could see yourself buying, Steve?

[Jamboolio]

Yeah, Z4 look's good, goes like hell and handles like a dream!

[PuppetKing]

What a beauty!
