We agree on all points. The Z4MC is a rougher ride that the 370Z, and by an amount that surprised me. Also, because of the extreme rear seat placement, all of your observations there are dead on. You do, however, learn distances very quickly, so it is no problem after a couple of days.

The brakes are touchier, but wow, what amazing stopping power. I've driven P-cars before this Z4MC and thought they had powerful brakes, but the Z4MC puts them to shame. I have never felt such stopping power, and again, you quickly learn how not to be touchy.

We also feel the same about the new Z4. The 370Z hands down.

Thanks for your comments.
