your comparing a mini to a z4? Sports cars have stiffer suspensions for a reason…if you looking for a soft ride then look for a cadi or 325i etc..

I hope the new one rides better! It's sad when my MINIs ride softer than these go-karts.

BMW can not do an M version without interfering with the M6 and M3, a Z4 M coupe would be cheaper and just a better performer..

And the crash test results of the old Z4! Four stars-front and three stars-side are pathetic. The smart fortwo earns five stars on both accounts.

About a month ago I test drove a Z4 3.0si and was interested briefly. The dealer was motivated and was dropping $8K. I didn't think it was quick enough and the interior was dark and noisy.

At the Chicago Auto Show I had the opportunity to look at the new Z4 with the folding metal roof. I like the shape and the interior is very nice. The metal roof makes more sense for metro Chicago.

I would like to drive the twin turbo version first, but I would definitely do a M Z4 on European delivery.

No M version?

We heard that before. BMW doesn't want to have any potential buyers sitting on the sidelines waiting for the M version to hit the show room floor.

I like this car a lot, but a M version would be even more appealing.
