Re: 30i or 35i Z4 ???
Generally if you need to ask the question you want the bigger one! I made the mistake with the TT and always regretted it... Got the 3.0 Z4 and am so glad I did. Yes I do hanker after the M, but I wasn't even close to affording it at the time, so I am happy with my purchase.

It does sound good with the roof down!
When I first heard the one I was buying, I thought someone had fitted an after-market exhaust when it first fired up!
You can just hear the turbos winding up in that clip also!

Re: 30i or 35i Z4 ???
Interstingly a few guys at work have heard me leave a few times in my Z4 and I have had a couple of them ask what engine is in it! One thought it was around a 5 litre V8!!
Must get my girlfriend to do a drive-by as I haven't heard what they sound like pulling away!
