Shmee's Z4 Review

Post by TitanTim » Sat Nov 10, 2018 9:56 pm

Having seen this review I'm really likeing this car now, engine sounds nice and familiar :) looks like BMW have included more pops an crackles on the overun that you get in the M140i which is surprising as the latest addition of petrol filters has stunted exhaust noise on the 140i, overall looks be more of a sports car than the old car.

I also enjoyed shmee's review. The general Automotive press all seem to be giving the new z4 the same bad reviews as the e89... Too heavy, spend your money on a boxster etc.

I am seeing this as a positive as I expect it will mean good discounts from the start!

I also thought it was a good review, he highlighted a lot of features and details on the car.
I had the sound off though.

It's good to see a positive review.

But I'm way too old to want all that tech to pick the right mode for the road/my mood - I'd happily swap it for a 3rd pedal and proper gearbox! :roll:
Coupes because stunning!

I enjoyed the review. I know they say don't read the comments on YT videos, but.... the general consensus seems to be it's the nicest looking SLK never made by Mercedes :lol:

Much like a lot of people here I can't stand Shmee (something about him just grates on my nerves) but definitely the best review I've yet seen.
Black and beautiful 3ltr auto for fun
Peugeot 508 SW for daily use
Stripped out E46 330ci for track days

This seems to have gone from everybody hating it to everybody loving it based on other peoples reviews!!
Very strange.
When you go out for something to eat do you let the waiter decide whether or not you like the food?

No, but if its a restaurant you've never dinned at, you might well read some reviews before booking a table :wink:
