    2008 BMW Z4 M Roadster.

    I have never been a fan of the BMW Z-Series looks.I must say, though, that from the front the car is awesome. It carries the classic BMW twin- grille inside a sculpted round nose that’s almost bulbous but stops before going too far.Does anyone feels the same about Z-Series.

    They're starting to tone down the Bangle look for the Z4 now?

    the only qualm I have with this car is the distance between the grille and where all the internals actually are. They made the nose way longer than it needed to be just to increase its phallic image

    I like it for the most part. The only thing I don't like about it having been in one (and this is a really random qualm) but I dislike the new white backlights on the tachometer and speedometer (the old red-orange glow is much easier on the eyes when you do long trips in the car).

    it's a safety solution. in case of a low energy impact no important parts of the car are involved, and in case of an accident with a pedestrian, he doesn't hit anything really hard

    I've driven the Coupe and I have to say it is a great car. It felt like a proper sportscar, focused, connected. And the straight six engine was brilliant.

    A shame that its looks let it down a bit. Especially after the old Z3 Coupe which was so interesting.

    I wouldn't blame anyone for wanting one though.

    yeah, the old Z3 Coupé was far more intriguing to look at.

    It's a pretty good looking car, but I prefer the Coupe. Much more interesting to look at.

    With a Dinan Sx package, that will fly like an M3

    Big fan overall. I'm more a fan of the idea of creating a "Z" with the sheet metal and the engineering to do it than the looks of it, but it really hasn't made the car less appealing to me. Just a wonderful car to drive and I love the looks on the coupe.

    The M has super power and response. When it’s driven hard, it performs. Acceleration is great and the handling is great.

    If you had the traction control on I still remember that if you went anywhere near the throttle in first, second or third in straight line the TC light started blipping like mad.

    Yeah, I'm all in for the Z4 Coupe too. Not that I have anything against the cabrio but the coupe is just so much nicer
    I am easily satisfied with the very best.

    Compared to the Z3 coupe, the Z4 looks altogether more considered and right, IMHO.

    the Z3 always ended up looking quirky & interesting, but one could hardly call it cohesive.

    I liked the Z3 coupe, and I like the Z4 coupe as well.

    Both are nice looking cars, and the M versions are even better.
