Slightly modified now....but still a Z4MSource: Cars.com...I sometimes really question if I had left it all alone I would have had just as much fun, I think the answer is YES. The car is very capable right out of the box and performs admirably with other comparable cars with much more preparation for track. I never had one hick-up with stock configuration, but I was looking for something to compete with 911 turbos...I got there. The shifter could be a bit better, but trans has not been a problem even with a 50% increase in HP. The S54 engine is very robust and can be driven like it was meant to. The car just tends to be fun. If you want to go to... |

Z4M: Performance benchmarkSource: Cars.com...!I mainly bought the car as it's the last production model BMW containing the incredible S54B32 naturally aspirated M motor with a 6 speed manual gearbox. Now most BMWs use turbos; been there, and don't want the high complexity and maintenance that goes with a turbo engine. The M also has a limited slip diff, as all M's come equipped, to put the 330 horses to the ground.The M is big fun to drive, makes you want to do bad stuff, handles like it's on rails, is also quite comfortable and makes you feel like you're in a race car especially when the top is down and you can hear and feel the... |

Why should I also consider these?
The new BMW Z4 is a joy to drive, but it's not as lithe as past versions.
The same is not true for the Audi TT, which has become more sports car-like in its latest edition, with a leaner body and rear-biased all-wheel drive handling its ample turbo power.
The Mercedes-Benz SLK grows more masculine and composed in its current generation, and the Z4 is now in its weight class, so the BMW's handling edge has largely disappeared.
Those who want a true sports car should consider the Porsche Boxster, which has direct-injection engines and a new dual-clutch transmission option to match its stellar handling.
And for luxury loafing, the hefty Infiniti G37 Convertible is a great addition to the ranks, with a handsome body and quick-folding top increase appeal to its rosewood-trimmed interior-and a throaty 325-hp V-6 and seven-speed automatic or six-speed manual bringing enough performance to fit the class.
