I don't care if Zee or Zed, it looks awesome to me. Possibly my next car. Good review, so thanks. It's gonna take an awesome car like this for me to part with my 2006 SLK350 Mercedes that I have had for 12+ years and still loving it.
I would totally lease a Z4 if I lived somewhere warmer, but if I moved down south people would pronounce the letter Z incorrectly so that's a tough choice. Great review, as always!
That's interesting about the pronunciation of the Z. I knew that canada and europe pronounced it as a ZED, but I just thought it was like US saying Alpha, Bravo, Charlie type of thing as part of a phonetic alphabet. The more you know. Great video btw... really enjoyed it. Mine is arriving in a couple of weeks and I can't wait!
The "Supra" is ugly as hell. They would have done it a service to design it without all of those stupid-looking creases and fake vents. Some people think the "Supra" is super customizable, and from what I've seen, you can get a "downpipe" and a $h!tty widebody kit, and that's pretty much it.
The autolock feature does not work if you open the door, then turn off the engine and walk away. You have to turn off the engine first, then open the door, then walk away.
Zee works with some stuff phonetically ie. Zee L1 Camaro... but Zed R1 Corvette works. 370 Zee sounds better than 370 Zed... I often change it up and am Canadian too
The official power numbers for the Toyota Supra and "335 hp"are quite laughable, because it's exactly the same engine power stage like in this Z4 M40i. Maybe Toyota just underrates it so heavy for a "suprising effect to the people", to show how quick it is despite having "less hp". On every dyno run so far, the Supra engine had nearly 400 hp, like the BMW M40i engine too.
In Europe this engine is advertised for 335-340 hp, because it has a catalizor or DPF to meet the enviromental rules here, in US there is none so it has 382 hp.
Good Review, thank you. I looked at this as well as a very rare 2016 showroom kept Z4 35I M with 20,000 miles on it. Eventhough the 2020 has newer technology and a lot more toys, I chose the 2016 hard top convertible. It is the coolest sharpest looking M on the road. I also use this as my daily drive vehicle and I liked the hard top vs rag top. Sure I wish it has some of the new toys, but this car looks and acts showroom new and everyone stares at it and loves it. No one knows my car is 4 years old. The previous owner literally kept it as an art piece. besides,,,, it's an M. If you don't get an M, don't get a BMW.
Price gap between 30i and 40i is huge. I personally would rather get the 30i for a lot less money and it is lighter meaning better handling and easier to place the nose around bends. Get it a remapped it will make similar power as 40i.
@@borinvlogs your post has some validity, but unless you up it with the m performance package, its just perfume on a pig....I own the M40i and it makes a difference..
I'm from the United States and we are the outliers in our pronunciation of the letter Z. The rest of the Anglophone world pronounces it exactly the way you do, as you likely know. While you may be educating some of us Americans, you absolutely are under no obligation to! That said, thanks for informing my some of my fellow ignorant Americans, who, no doubt, you are receiving those critical comments from.
I live in Canada and say “Zee” as well as grades instead of marks usually, and I write colors and I often say offffen 😄 yeah sorry if anything mate thanks eh
In german its called „zet“ and not „cee“, so ur type of spelling gets even closer to the german then the ppl who think „cee“ is the only right way to say it lol. great video btw
You DON’T need to carry a bottle of water around with you! Until the marketeers deemed it a necessary accessory we survived only so well with out it. Now the world is over if you don’t leave home without a plastic (wash my mouth out - reusable plastic!!) bottle.
I have to confess that I like every previous Z4 design better than this one... It looks like an american car... which isn't bad, just that it does not look like a bmw... A european car is to look refined...like something James Bond could look at home in. This is a two seat roadster with no risks in the design...
Yes too fucking expensive. It makes no sense to me. The m40i with a couple of upgrades goes over 70k this is m4 price point. You can get the fully loaded m2 comp with very little option checked in and it’s like 68K. A way better buy.
And no manual option too. Totally sucks, to me it makes more sense to have a manual option in a Roadster than in a full blast sports like the m series.
That is the worst cup holder placement I have ever seen. Garbage a German engineering. They should make a electric version of this, otherwise looks worse than prior generation.
Paul M Since you think it’s garbage engineering, think about the market, who buy this car, why and for what? Then it makes sense. No one should buy this as a daily, it’s a weekend car, you drive this kind of car it’s never as practical as a sedan..
Its a German car and the Germans pronounce it as " Zed ". It's just the American s with their lack of ability to use the English language correctly that pronounce it as " Zee "

You’re too funny 😂
I leased one and I live in WISCO. It's not my daily but pays to play. Bought a MY19 Accord Sport 2.0T along with a leased MY20 Z4 M40i
Good review, may be my next car - current is a 135i Cabriolet

Love this car
The Z4 looks soooo much better than the Toyota Supra! Why anyone would buy the Supra over the Z4 is beyond me!
The "Supra" is ugly as hell. They would have done it a service to design it without all of those stupid-looking creases and fake vents. Some people think the "Supra" is super customizable, and from what I've seen, you can get a "downpipe" and a $h!tty widebody kit, and that's pretty much it.
Agree but the Supra is considerably cheaper...
Agreed the supra is overhyped. I have seen both cars while the Z4 is beautiful (I am not a fan of the older Z4), the supra looks like a childs toy.
That's right the price is for convertible and luxury
That is a nice BMW convertible
Zed the correct way ,regard from NZ
So it changes color too?
Excellent review!
The autolock feature does not work if you open the door, then turn off the engine and walk away.
You have to turn off the engine first, then open the door, then walk away.
Love mine and do agree about cup holder. It is perfection!
I’ve had mine for about three weeks. Live it but I can’t find the button to swap the paint between white and frozen grey! Must RTFM!
@@NAIRxtc he's joking since the reviewer's car changed color
Great review
Zee works with some stuff phonetically ie. Zee L1 Camaro... but Zed R1 Corvette works. 370 Zee sounds better than 370 Zed... I often change it up and am Canadian too
and Z06
This or the cayman. What should I get for long trips?

I would like to see the videos of that.

I love this car!!
Did you take out (disabled) the fake sound?
Thanks
How much?
Helpfully they didn’t f up the welding in the Z4 as well 😂

How fast was Z4 M 2016?
@ 10:10 he said it was 24 degrees. Too cold for top down. lol
I think he meant Celcius, which is 75F in the USA. That's perfect top-down driving weather.
If you're concerned about the cupholders you should look at a Miata XD
You gotta say farenheit also for us Americans, we are probably your largest audience.
Haha. Was just looking at the conversion. 75 degrees. Sweet!!!
Good review, but why this bmw look like Baby Kia Stinger 2018?!
So true about the letter z many part of the world it's pronounced Zed
Does this have LCI engine ?
No mild hybrid with this or the m240i up to 2025, this is one of the big reasons why I want one
I live in Perú we said Zeta😂😂😂 that is a Fucking beautifull car Im going to bit one next year

@AMAN SARNA price difference surely does for most people. F12 TDF owners will say nothing compares to Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12.

Nothing beat 6 cylinders for sport car,if you gonna punished it.
England say zed here too
DonTay pretty sure only ‘Murican say Zee 😂
South Africa as well
BMW , WHERE EVERYTHING IS AN OPTION !
You re confusing Porsche with Bmw
How many liters does the gas tank of this car fit?
13 gallon
In France we don't say the Z because we know we can't afford that car.

Why are you apologising for pronouncing it as Zed ??
Thats a nice supra
lets not forget who went to who to build it... .. It great that that toyota doesn't upcharge you for all that extra plastic and useless vents....
I live in Canada and say “Zee” as well as grades instead of marks usually, and I write colors and I often say offffen 😄 yeah sorry if anything mate thanks eh
😆

Zed is correct. I need some Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!
lol

What’s the point when the car is locked automatically while the roof is opened lol
Still turns on the alarm.
Zed is the only correct pronunciation because Bayerische Motor Werken (BMW) is German and the Germans pronunciate Z as Zed
Nope. It’s only right in Germany and Canada. It’s wrong in the USA.

What? This look like Super car to me!
For the price... ill just save a bit more n buy the vette. Lol 😝

Canadians have it right. Not Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
It’s right for Canadians, wrong for the USA.
No it's Z dammit ..
Uk alphabet it's pronounced zee but the bmw it's zed4 ...zee4 sounds odd lol
Its a German car and the Germans pronounce it as " Zed ". It's just the American s with their lack of ability to use the English language correctly that pronounce it as " Zee "
