Ah yes, sporty. Hello internet, the ’Ring time is comfortably under eight minutes. The Z4’s physical dimensions are good for hot laps. The wheelbase is shorter than before by a huge 20cm, for agility. The track is much wider, for grip. The body is a whole lot stiffer than the old Z4’s, and it’s light.
If you don't like the front it says this. At the other end of the car, the jutting jowls are designed to help capture airflow and usher it past the wheels. If you don’t like it, well, lower-spec Z4s have a slimmer front bumper, and it gives 7/10
I don't think you even looked at what top gear said. You just don't like the car, I think you are an Audi driver and just jealous of us BMW drivers
I never said Topgear said it was a crap car, I said they said it looked crap.

Whatever the reasons, a measure of gawkiness afflicts the proportions of this coachwork. TopGear.com’s comments section was very unkind about it when we first showed it to you. Seeing it in the metal doesn’t help. Shame. You want it to be handsome. Because more than any other kind of car, a roof-down roadster is an item of clothing.

That’s what they said, ok they didn’t actually say crap because that would be rubbish journalism and unprofessional, but it’s hardly a glowing report of the way it looks.

I like how a big deal's been made of the 'special aluminium subframe' for the front suspension. Not so long ago that was the norm for BMW (including on the E89) until the accountants got involved...

Yes I thought what I said was pretty simple to understand too, but some people seem to be misinterpreting what I am saying or being slightly too literal about it. But any way, thanks for putting it straight, even though somebody still doesn’t seem to understand :lol:

In my opinion TopGear died when Clarkson , Hammond and May went away.
As before that time they even earn the record "most widely watched factual television program in the world".
After them the death :D

I have to admit I'm not impressed, I did like the concept car though I just think they've moved too far away from that and made it a bit too soft and fussy. I dont know why but I keep thinking its a big Fiat 124.
I am going to wait to I see them in the flesh to make a final judgement though, as is often the way cars look better in the flesh. Have to say if I was spending £50k on a roadster on looks alone at the moment it would have to be the Boxster, so much better looking than this or the Jag F Type.

So what TG actually said was the new Z4 was good, but it looked crap. Ironic since the new Top Gear looks good, but is crap! :-D
