Drove a Z4 today!

Akmcmahon · 03-14-2013, 01:20 PM

I still think it's a great car. Just didn't drive how I expected. I don't feel as comfortable in it as I do my Z. Everyone has a car that truly sings to them and is the "right" car for them. The Z4 just wasn't that car for me. The SLK55 AMG I felt drove much better for me in terms of roadsters. I love the Z4s looks though. Long hoods don't bother me coming from a 68 Vette that puts it to shame. My Supra too, had a really long nose.

I love the SLK55 AMG as well. It was on my list when I went looking for a roadster with power. Had I found a nice one prior to the Z4 MR showing up, I might be driving one today. My old Lexus SC300 had that long nose too, must be a "straight six" thing

+1 on the SLK.

Looks like I'm taking the Z4 to the track next month! We have a small track around here that is just too much for the 370s braking system, so I am taking her car.

I hope you stay out of the doghouse

its either hers or my mustang with the skinny stock tires. My brakes are powdercoated and pretty and I have ceramic pads, her car has free brake pads from BMW, so hers it is! It performed great at Road Atlanta too.

Yeah, this is true ^ ^. And sometimes a certain car will be just right for a short period of time, not forever. It can be like breaking up w/ a serious girlfriend/bestfriend, but it's part of the growing process.

I enjoy as I get older and become more open to different types/kinds of automobiles for new & exciting experiences. There are only a few makes that I don't like. RIght now, I'm getting more into Ford, Chevrolet, Cadillac- i would love to own an ATS sports sedan

What's your brake set up on the Z?
