Heads up for 5th gear on quest, new model z4 put through its paces & the e89 given some stick by Vicky Butler Henderson (who comments on what a great chassis it has) :driving:

She walked past me whilst i was refuelling an aircraft, she said hello. They were filming with that beardy bloke. I didn't recognise her, at first..
Same with that Hammond bloke, say hello and just walk off and pretend you don't know who they are.

I didn't spot that one, but hopefully it will be on again soon!

I just hope it was a bit more accurate than the one where they featured the E85. :headbang:

Shocked this thread isn’t filled with 35iS owners objecting to Vicky stating the top of the line model has 306hp.

Not seen you on here for a while. Did you ever get the problem with your car sorted?

I enjoyed the handlings being described as like a sports car wrapped in a duvet. Sums up what I have read hear nicely. :wink:

I thought that too! :D

They absolutely loved the Z4 in the £50k sports car test and I thought it was a great advert for the current Z4 for sure.

I also enjoyed the E89 bit and I'd love a E89 at some stage in the future. 8)
