  | This is the type of reviews we are going to get for the new Z4, or should I say SL4. On the other hand, some American magazines actually test cars with all season tyres...

| I've been inside the Z4 and yes you can already feel its not as sporty as previous Z4 by just sit inside the car. The new Z4 has become more cosy and luxury rather than sporty feeling. But for the average driver, the new Z4 will be more than you can handle.

Well I suppose most of the people who bought a Z4 never actually bought it for racing.

| So, the new Z4 does not deliver where it matters. We were warned about this, fine. Thing is, I'm really starting to wonder when the Ultimate Driving Machine is going to deliver again. The M3 is aces, no doubt. But what else?

Edit: Checked it, they used run-flat tyres... and the steering was vauge for a BMW, nothing else.
