 Detailed review:

The litmus test for this automobile is the view - I have heard very few people complain about anything else. If you don't like the way it looks, nothing anyone says is going to change your mind. Sports cars are supposed to be distinct, however, and I prefer the shark like appearance of the Z4 compared to the feminine looking Z3. Also, the changes in performance from the Z3 to the Z4 are substantial, changing it from a cute convertible to a powerful sports car. A driving afficionado pal of mine ask me if there was glue on the road while we were driving it through the North Carolina mountains. The acceleration is wonderful, and the handling is amazing yet delicate enough to be sustainable for everyday driving. If you like the look, don't test drive one without planning on buying. Just be careful pulling into parking spaces and going over speed bumps - the clearance on the front is small.
