What do you think of the new Z4?
People just shouldn't comapre it with te Supra
a pretty cool supra
oh it's the bmw
TheStraightPipes
You mean the Supra? /s
I think the zeefor is cool
Love it 🔥 would rather get it in a hard top though 💯 perfect attainable roadster 👏🏼
0:06 Lol a split second Supra logo appeared
❤️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro how did you catch that. I had to watch it in super slow to confirm lmao
@@TheCarGoru same
@@TheCarGoru Set it to 0.25 speed lol
*Insert obligatory comments about it being a supra
Nah most will say that the Supra is a z4, not the z4 is a Supra.
samitha sheshan what are you even wooooshing? He got the joke, he’s pointing out what most people actually say about the cars.
@@samithasheshan8215 You must be new to this old joke...
@@layne4376
Yeah if I had the extra income to house another car and if my wife would allow it. I would get me the Toyota z4... I mean the BMW Supra.... Eh you guys know where I'm getting at.
supra has like 40 less horsepower but i feel like that will be an easy tune to get the playing field leveled - supra is more sport oriented compared to the z4 trying to get the oldies a pre-retirement/midlife crisis convertible
legend has it the simultaneous door close is done in one take, every time
They do have a hard top version! They sell them at Toyota dealerships.
You stole the words right out of my mouth!!
And I'm sure it has the better steering feel (I hope)
Look, there it goes...the joke right over your head
Yeah,with 40kgs lesser!
The BMW Supra.
played back the first 7 seconds in 0.25x and they got the perfect subliminal messaging making you think it’s a supra before u even realize it. After the z4 badge they put the supra badge for .01 seconds to get it in your mind hahaha
Holy crap how did you find that one out? Are you an straight pipe insider, can never see that at normal speed.
That was sneaky hahah
Bizarrely cool. Nice find! Insider! ;-)
Sneaky bastards ! That one single frame tho !
How did you see it ?
You earn the straightpipe medal of snipers !
I drove one of these as a loaner from the dealer while my M5 was getting some work done, and I was pleasantly surprised. The exhaust tone was awesome and I loved the "gurgles" I'm not sure why they were so critical of it. Very sporty and spirited car, it was fun to drive if you are ok with the very limited uses of a 2 seat roadster.
Meh I agree with them.. seems tacky when they tune that in.
@@urbanweekendwarrior7238 sow
P😢y
They gave you a top model $76k roadster as a loaner? I don't get any better than a 4 series maybe a 540. I have the z4 m40i I chose it over the m3/4 because believe it or not it handles and stays planted way way better than my m2 comp used to and just turns in so aggressively and stays planted in ways the m2 comp, f80/2 could dream of. And an m5 absolutely CANT perform the same because it's massive size just limits what it can do no matter how amazing the suspension..not saying I wouldn't get an m5, but if I want to be on the track and go on twisty roads which I usually do the z4 m40i wins by far.
Waiting for the TRD model.
Lololol
Don't you mean
Gazoo

MASTERS of
NÜRBURGRING
The M model you mean
GT Fanatic its a joke 😂
Not sure why the little guy hated the car so much. The exhaust sounds fine; the steering is fine (except in comfort). It's almost as fast as a M2 0-60, and it's quite comfortable on long drives. THAT'S why you buy it. It also feels bigger than a AMG on the inside, and the quality - especially the technical POV - is PERFECT. Looks better than the Supra-beetle also.
Axtually it IS faster than the m2 comp. 0-60 3.7 seconds car and driver. I've tuned mine to 450wheel horsepower and 500 wheel torque and I get 3.4 sec on average. 0-60 doesn't matter to me nor does quarter mile. This car BEATS all the bmw m cars in handling, staying planted, and turning in extremely aggressively. I have driven the previous gen m3/4 and the m2 comp and the new m3/4 and I can tell you the z4 is so underrated. It takes corners so aggressively and stays plantrd at speeds waaay easier than any other m car. It's extremely underrated
The little guy 🤣
I have the M40i fully equipped and its an animal. Some of the people who review BMW's already plan to trash it before they even start.
@@shaunmcinnis566 I get compliments on mine every day. One day I had 7 compliments within 2 hours. It's the best looking bmw in the last 10 years, with the next best imo being the m2 competition
@@davidt8087 I bet... It's a perfectly proportioned car. I've had Porsche, Vett, Mustang, etc. but this seems to have everything all in one package. Cheers bud
3:25 Yuri says “only in convertible” and pauses, I feel that is where Yuri and Jakob feel everyone would expect them to bring up the Supra and they didn’t!
You got the joke
"they don't sell a hardtop model" - wrong, supra! Lol
Wooooosh
With that mustache and that shirt, you could easily be a drug dealer in the original Miami Vice TV series. 😂😂😂
Hahaha 2/10
Yeah I still can't get over Yuri's mo'
He should shave that right off.
15:27 That's what you were waiting for 😂 "he said it!" 🤣
I really think it's a good and fresh design. Drove one last week, the Z4 30i and I really enjoeyed it. It feels like a BMW in my opinion and the new interior is refreshing and more modern looking. I think my choice would be the Z4 M40i because I think its the perfect engine for such a sporty roadster.
The latest cars, great depth of review, regular content. In short best channel on YT
I love this thing. Been waiting for you guys to review it!
"this is an old person car enjoying your sunday cruise with your retirement money" best line of the video
Came here to post the same.
I like being and old rich person who can afford weekend roadsters especially since the USA has no Autobahn.
Better then being a young bloke wanting a M or Porsche just for the name and cant even handle it.
This is me! I even rewound it just to show my gf and have a 2nd laugh at the old man photoshop
Ha Ha, that's me. Ready to be toasted by a toaster on the interstate.
The front reminds me of some kind of insect, but somehow still love it! Might need to get this for my next car..but most likely a 2 series instead. Thanks for the review guys! It's great as usual, my favourite car reviews on TH-cam! Must be the chemistry between you two, brolove :)
Jakub's Methuselah transition @ 5:30 LOL!
Great video guys (as always) I love the new Z4, I used to have the older shape Z4 and I loved it!
Thank you I’m glad to hear it from you guys bc you both are my favorite car reviewers
Your channel is soo underrated, how haven’t you guys reached 1 mill yet
*your
It's Yuri's mustache
because people are watching but not subscribing
Bc it's just these 2 stating their opinions. No depth
They will, they were at 100k last year
Zed Looks really nice! I’m actually liking that snap crackle pop 😆
Its another annoying fart machine. These turbos just suck.
@@gsthree9534 not the turbo, it's the manufacturer that puts that in.
Yep...The ZEE is beautiful!!!
I agree with a couple of the gripes. Haven't driven one yet but those would bug me as well. I love the look and the powerplant. But my virtual cockpit in my S3 has this one beat. Awesome video guys I love how you keep the conversation not a one way monologue narration for a biography. Good stuff!
Love your car reviews !! ❤️ n the filming ways
That thing is awesome, BMW is on a roll. Wow, incredible.
GetoverYourself well said
It’s amazing to me how much it actually looks (from the front) how it could be the next iteration of the Fiat 124 Spider
I finally subscribed, you guys are just so convincing! The new Z4 is one of my favorites so far, from the Z family. Love the new looks.
Thanks!
Great video again guys. Really enjoyed driving this car a few months back in the sunshine although 2 days filming in the sun = sunburn lol
I feel more vitalized form that song.
The car looks really nice and the engine sound is TOP NOTCH. B58 one of the best sounding engines you can buy at the moment. Exhaust note is luckily changeable with a small software tune. Don't like those crackles and pops either.
I could see myself buying this, definitely this more than a Boxster, which is ridiculously priced here.
Awesome reviews, awesome channel! Really entertaining and awesome content!
I Loved the Fantom wallet that Yuri showed. Going for the Carbon fiber one through your link! You guys are great, keep it real!
I laughed out loud more during this review than any other SP review I've watched.
@@gabrielflores1149 ...because there were a lot of funny moments...
At 2:35 it sounds like the 2fast2furious skyline
Cant be u heard by now
Inline 6 usually all sound the same. That’s why the 2jz and the RB26 sound so similar. The S54 even though it’s loud and raspy has a similar note as well
0:54 is exactly when i hit the subscribe button..
man ..ur production is top notch! loved it!
Fully agree on crackling exhaust and it's indicative of a greater problem... this whole concept of a Driving Experience rather than just a car that does what it does and that's the experience that you get
Yuri + mustache + red convertible = Magnum Pi has got nothing on you.
My dad has one of these it’s extremely quick, and I disagree with the burbles comment, when you drive with the roof down the burbles are intoxicating, they become more and more bassy the slower you drive, and it’s an extremely rewarding engine. Beautiful car.
It’s just not worth 60k plus
I’ve taken vettes and challengers every time even giving them the hit. Love mine
Gotta love the extra editing on the outro 😂
I love this review! Love the guys reviewing! Subs from Russia!
Z4 is a legend car guys, not perfect, but very close! Its not meant to be hardcore sport while giving tones of joy while driving!
6:59 - I literally laughed out loud. Favorite part of the video 🤣
Holy moly I died at old Jakob transition
Thx for the great video as always guys! You sold me, heading to buy a Boxster S (sux there are no Timbits in Texas)
I love you guys, I live in Oshawa, Ontario and when you guys film the video you are the only guys do the videos in Ontario.
I don't care if more people are doing it because you guys are the best.
I can and I am watching you guys all day and don't want to run out of videos to watch #hometownguys
I recently bought a Misano Blue Z4. I'm just entering the "old guy" stage of my life but still like to have fun. This is my weekend car. That said, the car is perfect for me, convertible, sporty appearance, quick, with some luxury! It was perfect for a recent two hour, weekend getaway, yet fun to drive around the home town as well. Biggest gripe, the drink holders are not very useful, particularly with two people in the car. I'll get over it.
Just bought one myself, actually in my 30's. It is THE BEST roadster that you can buy brand new under $100k. You have to go up to the 718 Spyder to get to the next line up, and that's going to cost you an extra 30 grand apples to apples fully specced out (not to mention that with the new 4.0, if you aren't taking it to the track, trying to rev that thing to 8000RPM is going to land you in jail. So many comparisons to the Supra, I have driven both, and they appeal to very different people. If you've ever owned a "nice" car, the novelty of the appearance of the Supra immediately wears off once you get inside it. BMW = Superior interior. I don't consider this an old mans car, I think because of the price tag, it's considered that because it's a "weekend fun car" and not many people (outside of California) probably purchase 2 seater convertibles as their DD's. In fact, this car is far more practical than a Supra because it's an actual purpose driven vehicle - top down weekend cruiser.
Cant wait for the REDEYE review 😍 have very high hopes for that one 😬
it's still going to handle like a tank
@@user-ym9sx6jt8m thats what it is, essentially a TANK 😂
@@aviationandcars8198 I love American muscle and its raw power and V8 sounds, but God does it handle like shit haha
I've watched you from the beginning and I had to resubscribe 3 times, yesterday being the 3rd time.
so basically you unsubscribed one time
You guys are the best. Love you!
I’m not a BMW fan, but I have to admit that the body lines, especially when viewed from the side are spot on. It looks really good! Not so oddly chunky and unproportional as the new Supra. BMW should make this as a regular coupe as well. Not everyone wants a convertible....
12:40 that Mercedes card on the bag :D
You guys are a riot. Great job
Here before the video
Love you guys
4:54 Yuri looks so scared 😂
Pause and slowly play at 0:06 for a sneaky suprise, I see what you did there Straight Pipes 😎
HOLY IM DEAD 😂😂😂💀💀💀💀😂😂😂
Ha! Totally missed that the first time. Good catch!
My new go to car channel 🤠
i never thought there is such a thing as too much pop and crackle... but this really does it
Do comparison between this and 718 boxter MANUAL and M2 comp MANUAL
You guys are hands down the best car reviewers on TH-cam. The energy/fun/chemistry is golden. Don't lose that magic
Thanks for reminding me to subscribe! I had no idea though I watch these videos all the time! =]
Thanks!
I can't wait for 20 years to go by when I can actually afford this car haha. This is incredibly beautiful
Best car channel on TH-cam...🙏🙏🙏
Tell that to Chris Harris, Throttle House, and Matt Maran.
Matt Watlington will do 🤪
Who cares, the crackle and pops are like Beethoven's 5th symphony in my ears
Thanks Matti thissss IS A GREAT VID
Do you guys think youll be able to get your hands on the new ATS-V or CTS-V, been really intetested in those cars lately :D great vid as always!!
lol all these trap video angles
i love it
5:30 priceless...so good.
LOL. Loved the transition to the gray beard.
hahaha the end with the Simpsons made me have a good laugh! good job!
I think the grille needs vertical slats instead of those weird 3 point caltrop looking things
I’m not taking anything away from them, but they’re like the “Rhett and Link” of the car culture
man, this car looks like a monster. i drive a 135i and it's definitely a quick little car, but 380hp stock sounds amazing.
finally. you guys reviewed it
The front looks like what the 124 should’ve looked like. They have a similar look but the BMW is much better proportioned
I think the 124 looks great as it is. Good combination of modern and old-fashioned. Not really a fan of the abarth though...
"BMW is subtle overall with their ambient lighting."
Bruh have you seen the new M5? XD
We have spec'd out all three and the Vette and Boxster end up at least $20k-$25k more in the US with similar configurations. And used, the clear winner is the Z4, the M40i can be had for low 50s with low mileage. Try to find a Vette or Boxster GTS for that!
Those crackles kill the car. I had a 2018 340i and traded it in within a year because the steering was similar to this car (loose) and the 6sp had issues the dealer couldn't figure out.
Yuri, the mustache ...man...I dunno, it isn't working :), if the wife loves it then ignore me, but I've been watching you guys for awhile (and yes, I've subscribed) and it just somehow deters my watching of the vids. I'm still gonna watch (so yea, probably ignore me), but I had to give my opinion as its that bad :).
Thanks for making awesome video's guys, and dealing with people like me commenting on your personal taste ;) .
I liked the 2009 BMW Z4 35i more. It was so much better looking and it had a dual clutch that was amazing.
I’m happy BMW didn’t cheap
out and left it to the ”tuners”
to finish it and that they
consider their own engines
reliable enough to leave it
at full power....
You had me until the words BMW and reliable were in the same sentence.
@@KonohazFinest BMW makes one of the best engines in the car manufacturing market.
I can agree that other parts are not that reliable but engines are pretty solid.
@@iHaveTheDocuments they are fan boys on paper. Not like the supra was ever fast from factory.
Toyota lowered the boost cause they didn't find it reliable enough
at full power as in the Z4. I wonder how bulletproof a toyota engine
at 380 hp is compared to this "good enough" one.
Watch TFLs interview with the supra engineer and you will hear all
the bullshit surrounding the development of the supra. BMW
realised that Toyota would make it outperform any beemer so they
basically pulled the plug on the original design so Toyota had to dial
it back and cheaped out big time. It is designed to handle a much
more powerful engine (M3?) wich probably is coming in the future.
Toyota has more excuses than the french surrendering in ww2...
You guys should reallllllllly consider uploading a review taking place in BC! There are some awesome roads over here where you can really test the vehicle's handling limits.

Jacob: here, let me floor it
The fuck are you talking about? It’s a car channel of course he’s gonna floor it. Stop it with your dumbass TH-cam comments that you think are funny
Looks like that Fiat MX-5
oh yeah you're right! the 124
I like the styling of the Z4 but hate the new BMW gauges. Astin Martin had the weird backwards tach but at least their's looked nice.
The headlights look sick! I’m more of a Benz person but i think this looks straight up crazy. I would buy this if i had the money
Love the stance on the car looks good but I would prefer a hardtop
just get a supra then ;)
ooooooo he said it!!!!
M2 pretty much cost the same.
Aha! So Jakub watches TFL... : P
*spits out water* IS THAT A SUPRA?!
Great video as always :D
It looks amazing
This review makes me feel good about how different it is from the Supra.
"I dont like the crackle sound"
Litterally pumping the gas THE WHOLE TIME!
In my day that meant your motors mixture was off and wasn't running right
Never wanted to go back to mine QTP GTS since I got one (few weeks before this review was published). The car is awesome, handling is really good for both city and autobahn driving. I'm at ~15k miles and no issues so far (which is quite damn good for BMW :)).
Wow factor is tremendous (for those who thinks "toyota way")
The only "downside" is the EU emissions regulations which reduced HP from 382 to 340.
Is that a Supra?! (couldn't help myself haha)
Steven Vuong the new Supra is just a disgrace to the Supra Legacy
I really like the styling of this BMW Z4. It looks really good with the red paint and the tan interior. I am a bit disappointed that there's no manual transmission and that there's no hardtop convertible. Personally I would hands down prefer a Porsche Boxster or Cayman over this because of the very fun and engaging manual transmission. I would also take a Chevy Corvette Convertible over the Z4 with a manual transmission.
I live in America and I assume you do. But usually Americans are ignorant about the rest of the world and don't know much of anything and have different (usually always a dumbed down version) likes. For example Americans get upset at the z4s dash design and the "rpms Going in reverse" and Not having a manual because Americans usually don't like Change much, are more "old school", and prioritize dumbed down versions of performance driving like adding as many mods and tunes that nearly break the car as possible for only one thing, straight line speed and going to the drag (definitely for most young people in America), and the older folk are obsessed with manuals because they're not the types to understand the meaning of gojng on a track and getting the ABSOLUTE BEST POSSIBLE LAP TIME FOR THE CAR POSSIBLE taking the corners at the MAXIMUM POSSIBLE SPEED for the corners they take. Americans think drag strips mean they're "racers" (for the young ones), and the old ones like manuals because they usually never take corners as fast as possible in the first place simply because they can't and aren't interested in it anyway because they couldn't which is why they prefer manuals to feel "in control" and "dominant" over the car because dominance for Americans isn't getting the best lap time. Americans are also extremely all about everything being how it was and biased towards the old way and American way so the rpm going in "reverse" confuses them.. But having been born in Austria and understanding German culture, I understand the reason for gojng with paddles in a fast transmission only. I understand why the rpm gauge is in "reverse". It's because the rpm being the opposite dimension of the speedo "completes" the anesthetics and differentiates itself from the speedo at the same time and makes the digital dash look complete and closed with speedo going up right and rpm up left. This is because on the track they instantly differentiate between the two when pushing it to the max and know that the bar going up and left is rpm, and the up right of the speedo concentrates their focus on the middle and in between speedo and rpm scales. If it was just a round speedo both going left to right in Germany on a track there would always be a chance for having to look a bit longer to understand what's going on. Bmw understands both speedo and rpm gojng up and rifht in a circle is more Confjsing because overall they both point to the right outside the dash. But the opposing speedo and rpm focus in the middle and into the dash. Yall wouldn't understand this because Americans can't even try to understand other cultures and even if they tried they couldn't.
The ending of the video vitalised me so hard that I hit the subscribe button
Dang this fire🔥
honestly the ZED part was so satisfying.
You liked the constant crackle from the 440i and the f-type. Why not from the Z4 ??
The tone, frequency, predictableness, and convertibleness
Ryan S because it is embarrassing! Really fake shit
I would be annoyed by the popcorn popping exhaust on this car. Kinda like the Veloster N in sports mode. The exhaust is a popcorn popper.
The f-type Jag is completely different. It's loud and pissed off. It rumbles and snarls. It means business. The Z4 in sport mode? The pops remind me of a bowl of Rice Krispies in milk.
I honestly hate all of those forced exhaust crackle and pops. They’re all predictable and sound fake as hell. I was just curious why they pick and choose which sound “good” and which dont
thats funny - Recognized the twisty road at 6:44. You guys north of Oakville at lower base line. Cool.
Good video, I don’t have the same concerns as you with the dash etc and happen to like the crackles...one thing you didn’t mention is the Boxster with any options is way more money than this....and the base Boxster has a 4cylinder that sounds like a badly tuned lawnmower vs this great sounding inline six. I’m looking at onE of these to replace my aging 135i cabriolet (badly designed cup holders in my car also - but I never use them) keep up the good work and its ZEE (and I’m not American)
