Have been a Motorweek fan for decades. Nice review of this 2 seater BMW. I don’t understand why the 1/4 mile benchmark has been replaced by 0-60. 20 years ago 1/4 mile times were the go to spec for speed and power. 0-60 doesn’t tell you as much.
You probably will never speed up to 100mph in city or anywhere so 1/4mile is not important.more important is maybe acceleration from40 to 80 for overtakeing.
I just love how cars are reviewed here. You get relevant info on the car. Other reviewers go over every nook and cranny of the cars they review. Criticize every design features of a car and review car as if we are all buying cars to race. Sure we like performance but most of them other reviewers are just plain overkill. Here it is to the point and honest. Been watching for many years!!
@@Kingsoupturbo Yeah, I totally agree! It takes me right out of the buying equation. Proof in point was a BMW salesman called me because I had driven the 30i Z4 and liked it but wanted to wait. I saw a vid with the M Z4 and the noise was bad enough for me to turn down a drive in one when the salesman offered. He was bummed...
@@goofydog2 Interesting! how was the 30i to drive? it should have user selectable exhaust to keep it quiet when you want too and open it up maybe when you're out in the countryside with nobody to annoy!
Body size equal the H.P. & Torque sounds like this car could ripp. I would wait for a pre ~ owned one like they say never buy the first new body style there are always quirks.
Too bad it didn't come out closer to the badass concept and they should have kept the hard top and smaller rear windows from the E89. Looks good top down but the E89 looks better top up.
I don't like the front end of this Z4. I love that it nbn has the B58 engine but I would have liked it better in a hardtop version. Please BMW, revamp it! As much as I love BMW, that front end is hideous.
I been listening to this guy for ouer 20 years I hope in still hearing him for the next 20
He does a great job but I hope he doesn't go on another 20 years for his sake. He's been on motorweek nearly 40 years.
Same here
Who is this guy? His voice is everywhere
What’s the 1/4 mile time?
Exactly and the braking distance?
Chef Bojan it’s in the low 12’s, and it won’t take much to get an extra 80hp/100tq out of that turbo 3liter with a tune, & down pipe
Probably the same as the supra or a lil slower
Lol I rewind like 3 times thinking I missed it

Neither is really significant.

Got bless u John Davies
I only watch motor week because of him

If you would have asked me "what car company's most likely to partner up to make a car" back in 1994, BMW and Toyota would have been the last guess🤣
I'm surprised they didn't talk about the exhaust sound, which is VERY loud, crackling pops and whatever else they could throw in.
That is a very annoying trend with automakers! interesting

Only in sport setting. Otherwise quiet.
Good looking roadster
So....are we really going to ignore the fact that the "New" BMW z4 really looks like the old Mercedes ....
Poor man's AMG GT Roadster.
@@basshead. Thanks. Now I cannot un-see it.
@@basshead. How many different ways are there to make a car, going on 100 years now, only so many ways to shape it.
Not any old MB I can remember from the last 50 years. Definitely a BMW.
Jack O you ever take an art class? They can find a way... 100 years ago cars had the design of a horse carriage.
BEST VOICE IN AUTO REVIEW!!
Who is this guy? He voices like dozens of channels
This steps straight back to the 80s
I wanna see Mr.Davis do a donut in the new Supra.
GoldenEye came out in 1995, not '96 🤓
Actually, the original Z4 arrived in 2003. I own one.
I'm so sorry, that the saddest thing I've heard in a while.
E89 is still my favorite but warming up to this generation.
Weird question but does anyone know what song is playing in the background?
At around 4:50
See these often at local golf country clubs.
These seats look nice in red color!

@@ryankenyon5010 Ever heard of CPO? Maintenance history? Important in any used car purchase. PPI, too!
Well 2020 is the 2nd year so go pickup a 2019.

Reminds me of my E36 M3 Convertible but without a backseat.
I see so much Mercedes SL and SLK on the design
You forgot about the Kia Stinger front ;)
Might want to not skip your next eye exam.
More dynamic than ever? Are we going to ignore the 2006-07 Z4 M ? (as in a real M)
My Bestfriend's 2020 Lottery Car. That's What He Wants.
Wow that car is a looker!
Mercedes hybrid?
OMG glad I found this I was literally hesitating to buy it but it's good tho thank ya muah~~😘
Hahaha. Yeah right buddy😂😂😂 Does your life really suck so bad that you have to pretend you're buying a Z4 on the internet trying to look cool???
Where's the address of your Hair Saloon, JJ?
Nice lid Ben!
How much makeup is the host wearing??? He looks like he got a spray tan.
Those DRLs are not okay.
Where does this guy get his make up done 🤔😎😆😂
Gorgeous
This is about the car, not you 😜
nes suno awww
It looks like it's already been in a wreck, I don't want to buy new and question if the title is salvaged or not
matthew anderson I don’t think so dude
Bet he drives a Yugo
Sounds engineer really did the narrator wrong with this one .
Not quite the same engine as the new Supra, but the same type. they have different designations.
That looks really good.
I don't like the front end of this Z4. I love that it nbn has the B58 engine but I would have liked it better in a hardtop version. Please BMW, revamp it! As much as I love BMW, that front end is hideous.
I find it the most attractive since the Z4M Coupe.
Why is the driver wearing a helmet? Does he wear one while driving his own car on the road??
We always wear helmets when we bring vehicles to the track. It's a safely precaution since we are going at high speeds.
Is he driving his own car on a road?
...meh...
007 Z3 equals 1995
Bring My Wallet
... and spend your $$$ elsewhere
50k-60k but don't have lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring.
TOYOTA Corolla have.
You will love your Corolla. A good econobox.
BMW should boost their standard equipment and stop charging for things that should be in every model. Take a simplified approach like Tesla.
BMW’s have always been ripoffs. My mom has a 2016 X3 and it cost $50,000 and doesn’t have stuff a $25k Camry has.
I hate both those useless features
Looks better in person and miles better than the new Supra. Supra is tuned to be faster though and not a convertible!
That’s a Supra lol
Interesting
Soft tops are so hideous, though. Hard top or bust.
Huh so c8 or z4 hmmm i say c8 all day!!!
It will Never beat Honda S2000 ap2
Another ugly car, yucsss
Please, stop with the annoying 80s announcer :)
The z4 sucks..
