    I like the interior of you the new z4, and the exterior of your old z4. Not a big fan of the new front headlights. Overall great video of comparison.

    No doubt about it the e89 party piece is the metal folding roof, yes it adds weight to the car but it's a piece of engineering

    Nazz as always just a Great car review of a new Z 4 versus the 2016 Z4. I love my Z4 2016 because of the hard top roof and it is a wonderful car to drive, I think the newsy four is a great car but I don’t like a ragtop so I will stick with my 2016 which as always gives me a great thrill of a ride.I love your car reviews, keep them up.

  • @georgeluyckx1437

    What I love about the e89 is that’s it’s one of the best looking cars out there thats has a retractable hard top which makes it a unique car. The biggest advantage of hard tops is that for me they offer good visibility while with soft tops you have a lot of dead corners. Another thing which is great is the long bonnet while in the the new one it feels like your driving a small hatchback.

    Hi Ness, I just bought a 2016 E89 S20i recently after watching plenty of your videos. I agree that the Run Flat Tires are noisy and stiff. I hear you mentioned several times about the stuff ride but why you not considering changing it to a non Run Flat to improve the ride and noise level? I am going to do it after the lockdown period in my country.

    I have had an E85 and two E89s. You mention the G29 is taller. What I am curious about is it easier to get in and out of. I can do the E89 just fine, but it could be eaiser. Thanks very much for your review

    I'm sure the G29 is the better car, tech wise. Being the latest development, it should be. Design wise however it can't hold a candle to the E89 in my opinion. While I do like the G29's seats and the centre console which opens up in two parts, I'm not a fan of the digital instrument cluster. Again, it may be a tech masterpiece, but I prefer old school analog meters. I also love the E89's round, classic looking airco dials which give the dashboard a unique touch. The infotainment screen clearly has improved, but I like it that it is fold away in the E89. Sometimes I just fold it away if I don't need it, just because of the cleaner dashboard look. The G29's engine delivers more power, which is nice and it does have a nicer exhaust sound, but the E89 is no slouch either and the exhaust doesn't sound bad at all for a 4-cylinder. The exterior look of the G29 certainly isn't ugly, but it's more brutish with those sharp creases and slits everywhere. That's the modern style. The E89 is much more elegant however: a car for ladies and gentlemen as opposed to street hoodlums, style wise. And that folding hardtop is a great feature; as you've said: two cars into one. I like its endless bonnet and low seating position just before the rear axle, I prefer this over the G29's more "regular" cabin feel. And I'm still not used to the G29's stacked headlights and that front grille; the E89 has a lot more old school BMW signature to it. Perhaps the E89 has a harsher ride. I'm the proud owner of a 2016 20i M-sport model, just like you, also on those 19" rims and on runflats, and I never found the ride quality a problem. It's a sports car after all; there must be some spice in the ride. I will definitely keep my E89 until it falls apart. Only then will I consider buying the G29. So it's not that I abhor it, far from it. But I prefer the E89. Just my two cents of comment on your excellent review. Keep the Z4 content coming!

    • @flybobbie1449
      @flybobbie1449 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the E89 will run for ever, mine is now ten years old, had it seven years, it's like a new car to me. Only minor niggles well documented on the Z forum.

    Got my new Z4 G29 two weeks ago. Unfortunately, due to the current situation I've only driven for about 200Km (I did not even have the chance to do the first fuel re-fill), but I'm super happy about it. It feels so nice and it's such an enjoyable car. Definitely a big improvement compared to my previous C class, which overall was only OK, but quality wise I was very disappointed.

    Well the E89 aesthetically is by far, for me, the prettier car, the new G29 looks less like a classic roadster. Gadgets don't bother me...the E89 has everything I need really. When you look at a E89 next to a BMW 507, you can see the heritage, the G29 looks like a M135i.not very special... roadsters are supposed to be pretty and different.... that's why you buy them.

      The interior on the G29 looks similar to the rest of the latest generation of BMW. Unlike the E89, it is just unique. The G29 looks good but I am sure the look of E89 will still remain gorgeous in years to come.

  •  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    hardtop folding roof - e89 won just there.. then design /front/back- e89 interior- e89 manual available- pop up i-drive, can hide making it timeless, instead of outaded in 10 years like the new one, and no touch buttons, that you will crash to operate, in my book there is not single metric the new one wins.. that is reflected in the second hand prices of the e89, at least in my country, prices are higher after the new one release.
    edit: also your e89 looks like it as a 25-35 side profile tire and the g29 had a 45 side profile tire, and i am not saying the new one is not better in ride comfort, it might be! but it is really hard to compare platforms with tires so different in terms of comfort..

    A very important item you didn't cover was how the G29 tackled corners, twisty roads etc... In this aspect it is much, much better....
    I have an E89 but the G29 drives much better.. The stock E89 is a flawed driving machine..
    One this is sure the older E89 are going to last better as newer BMW are not as well built...
