Top Gear did a comparison between a 370z coupe and the z4

i am sure the bmw z4 is a very nice car but i think your 370z roadster looks nicer. to my eyes, the rear end of the z4 is too short.

I crossed shopped the new Z435i and it is a nice car. But I couldn't justify paying twice as much for it (since I went with the coupe).

We have the Z4 Sdrive35i and my 370. The Z4 is a very nice car and is pretty darn quick too. I rarely drive it, since its my wife's car, but I did an all out launch in sport + mode the other day and it really took off. I think its even got a form of launch control, because a large checker flag icon came up on the center dashboard screen.


That being said, the Z is a much more fun to drive car, a lot more satisfying overall with a lighter feel and less manners than the BMW.

When I saw 370z on photos,all i said was "UGLY",but I was all in awe when I really saw it. It looks better in person.. The subtle changes give it more road presence than its predecessor. Reviews I've read on BMW repair questions puts issue on the massive added weight on Z4. As for me,I like 370z considering it is well-priced for what it gives you.(in terms of overall performance).
