They are pieces of **** worth half their value driven off the lot. They are also driven 99% of the time by women wearing velor tracksuits and are seen as empowerment devices for the fairer sex. Pot calling the kettle black here, maybe?

Range Rovers are beautiful, but I hear they are terrible money pits maintenance-wise.

HAHA you don't want to be a ECO weenie.

I personally don't see cars as transportation. To me they are big toys for getting into trouble. That's why every car I have owned except one was a 2 seater roadster.

I don't worry to much about wether people think I am an ass for the cars I drive or wether they are girl or man cars. To me some of my favorite cars have very feminie lines. The lotus and the 550a are both very femine cars to me and we all know that the 550a will forever be remembered for being owned by one of the most masculine icons ever.

Look at the used models on ebay, their resale value is similar to other luxury brands. You're talking out of your ass. They aren't very reliable, but that's about the only thing you've said that is remotely truthful.

I'm surprised no one has said anything about the exterior designer in the video.

An M3 and a 135i are close to that weight and they are plenty nimble as well.

Hmm - girly-looking?

well first of all, thats with the hardtop on, and I believe thats the z4m isnt it? Still so many better options out there. Better preforming, better looking, better value... plus everybody on top gear will think your a cock.

Richard Hammond used to own a Z4, as did Jason Plato on 5th Gear. It's why they both did the first reviews of the Z4 M Roadster when it was released. They mostly pick on BMWs because Jeremy pretends to hate anything German-made, and BMWs are common over there so they make a nice broad target.

But yeah, mine's a Z4 M Coupe, slightly modified.

If you ever get to visit the Nurburgring, you would not believe how many Z4s are there. It looked like one of the most popular track cars there, which shouldn't be too surprising since it's the best handling car BMW makes.

That's a sweet car. It's a small world --- we were probably both at the same event. Are you going to Laguna Seca next week?

Was it the same one where hardly anyone could get rides in the 335 because it would overheat and go into limp mode after 2 laps?

Nope, I'm in DC right now, so no tracking for a while.
